The Realist


The Realist noise restrained the steps,
Rhapsodic not words shalt be, no depth.

Inundated reflections with clauses then why meet?
Holistic neither scent nor any act would greet.

Knowing Contract on ledger first be inked,
Anticipated be wronged Codicils be linked.

Greatest kiss could turn into last goodbye,
Thresh chaff, knowing this act is an ignoble lie.

But tracks carried Trust towards unstated,
Would endure corollary even if abated.

Fervid not, as in ledger stolid was transcribed,
Paths inculcated when planted were already described.

Those eyes compelled to ratify whatever inked,
Permissible not to amend & wrong, 'grace would feed,' if you think.

No words those lips spake but exemplified wants;
Receded! To rekindle, redraft, away from shallow flaunts.
