Harlequin

Lucid in this labyrinth of fears
Maroon among this river swept with tears
Ravenous beauty thy skin is bound
Upon this place on hallowed ground

Quarrelsome are my thoughts inside
As I look towards the southern skies
Sensational as it was and is
There is life among the cliffs

Sneer not nor belittle me so
Splendour gathers when you are near
Sodden are the shoes upon my toes
No longer shall, I shed my woes

Thenceforth on sombre ground
To clutch my fist and knuckle down
Thorns among the transformed sky
Truly answer questions why

Unnecessarily my thoughts provoke
And life surrenders before the yoke
Undeniably life is fate
Heaven swept, before my plate

there is much disquietude, much pensive suspense in these five quatrains... may you reach the desired end in your quest for calm... meanwhile there is quite a creative bent behind the warp and woof of this poem. Nicely done.
