Forthwith falls, the deft remain,
a roaming watch defends the gain,
for all that passions instigate,
the slow descent shall dissipate,

eager hours wile away,
the great pursuit, the child's play,
all that fractious pleasures press,
sweetest moment's sweet redress,

curtail all possessive ploys,
fending lapse, frequenting joy,
admirations set to see,
secured as most obscurity,

once amongst the remnant parts,
once forgotten, at once starts,
mirrored moments sweet redress,
mirrored moments, moments best,

eager hours line the way,
through the darkness and the day,
the best at both at once are seen,
united in concurrent theme,

interpretations of the fugue,
interpretation's map subdued,
subdued against collective will,
sweetest moments, sweeter still.

A fleeting gift. a promise,
of pursuant inspiration amidst inadequacy,

transient and irretrievable,
a creation fallen - passed down from the plateau. The irreverent structure.

A structure, whose vague image should fuel and punctuate the day,
whose omnipotent architecture administers meaning unfathomable,
meaning that engenders our obsequious rigmarole, our collective acknowledgement, our lonely discourse,

a fertile whisper, a promise almost unheard,
a psychogenic bond - borne in ephemeral permanence,

painful and poignant, transcendent of conception, or of finality.
An abstraction with foundations irrevocable,
blissful in sublimity, complacent in culpability.

Decorate our faces with the spoils of our wars,
decorate them endlessly, though satisfaction falls,
celebrate celebrity with pure unbridled joy,
dancing so religiously, this masquerading boy,

this boy whose smile relentlessly indulges passing few,
they'd say quixotic certainly, though certainty's askew,
for when their troubles burden them, their dance begins to stall,
this boy, the martyr, bears their burden - witness to it all,

bespoke his advocation lies beneath a meek appearance,
forbearing he endeavours on, despite their non-conveyance,
they'll never see among the rise and fall from hope and glory,
the undisclosed protagonist of their collective story.
