Has been fathomed to shine.
The shades of time,
The wrath and grime.
Shrouded well, the crevices and fine lines.
Took on the heat and wheezed still,
Fluttered and seduced, but decayed still.
Salted and peppered,
Straightened and tampered.
Flinched to be touched to be felt withered.
Danced in revelry and sweated in sultry.
Bounce they said, fatigued it heaved.
Washed to the roots, matched with the boots.
Tied in a knot, acquitted at last.
Set wild to grow and cropped to show.
Got drenched in rain and trickled in vain.
Kept growing till the last breath,
Was it in genes, or was it just the dead cells.
Caressed in love and torn in trial.
It broke a little with every consequence dire.
Whats in the mirror that made you turn.
Which made your day, and to never return.
