Revers-Age

It came to meÂ
Thro' rippling watersÂ
Of pond and sea,Â
(When life be deemed by eyesÂ
Fresh scent as Spring's newly seasonedÂ
Flowers,Â
Mind full o' old, tireless in last moment sun'sÂ
Retiring hours)Â
Hidden-obscure, waves of fountain thirstÂ
Discover the child, uncovers this manÂ
I was first;Â
Who'd walk~soul upon soulÂ
In quest, ungrateful, of trampled backsÂ
Savage sacrificed slaves say, "curs'ed be thy name!"Â
Pavin' way...to youthful path,Â
        +++Â
Lord granted me powersÂ
Of a chosen oneÂ
To be better off an ancient innocenceÂ
Than what wiseman call, the corrupted young.Â
Centuries of struggles in limbo~junglesÂ
Limiting down search party to one,Â
Left weary souls entangled in the web vines-Â
Lies-hissing snakes tongues-madnesses minds,Â
And suicide swamps-forgetful rivers deep-Â
In bellies of blood lust beasts,Â
Face alone the entrance to...Â
Demon's torturous cave of keep,Â
Within behold, in burning lightÂ
A shimmering cascade of immortality;Â
Venerable men should we...Â
Be...greatly honored to become,Â
Sip slowly, from carpenter's cupÂ
Ensue, a naive broodÂ
For all o'time.

THIS is what I Love about poetry so much!!...... you send up that title...... and then go to town creatively and hope that your readers will hang on for the ride of your "REVERS-AGE".........THE DICHOTOMY IN LINES....... the yin and yang of it!!.......... what's so encouraging about this is the purity of exploration....... in the use of words and phrasing in a TOTALLY original splashing of the paint!! (LOL!).........I LOVE THIS........ poetry for the poet!!..........smokin' grooves brother!!............T xo
I really enjoyed the splashing of the paint comment for I have big aspirations of this being a masterpiece. My inspiration hmmm.... so much, reading so many different poets of late definitely Poe and the whole Ponce De Leon quest for the fountain of youth. We go through so much in life especially are change in age, it becomes crazy the lengths people will go in seeking a way to recapture youth. I am thrilled by your comment big bro thanks man, much love to you. Peace.
