Running breathlessly,
The finish line evasive as ever.
Alone in the hunt –
Inspired creation abandoned,
Bidden goodbye a decade ago.
Chased by dreary shadows
Of a fluid ideal,
Encased by ghosts of
an undefinable exemplar
that haunt me in my slumber :
Madness is my pursuit
that survives through
mythical tales –
tales of Paragon, of perfection.
