The Tempo

Peeping frowning creeping lived a guy,
on the shores of an ancient land.
Lonely angry cheery he stayed in sly,
with fingers crossed for a brand.  

pale and dark but undyed,
sullen grim with a smile,
lusty bright in vain,
ravening wild with mercy.

Ardour gives him life;
Thirst keeps him steady;
famine leaves him agony;
Hope drives him forward;

Forage revises his ardor,
Thirst alters his lifestyle,
Exploring whole life,
Imploding from inside.

post a dozen ages,
his legacy looks at him with a smile;
Staring at the giant,
from a bygone Latin bind
in dust and gray.

Sneaky little time,
makes the tousle seen,
with ages to go,
and countless to realize.

Hoi polloi claims of poverty, and a man like a sloth in indolence- bearing besom in apron, moving for his daily bread. Dream for skies kept him thirst; crave for rest, lead him inert; Greed for opulence locked him caged; Clouds of darkness got him wealth. Cage so formed in avarice, Compound as an enigma, fasten him in ignorance alas crawls him unnoticed. * 1  motley - colourful/ in the context, a crowd has many kinds of people   * 2  gilded - gold plated   * 3  scented - water with the sweet fragrance *4  sauna- shower/bath   *5  paltry - small/minor   *6  hoi polloi - common people/mob/ people nearby *7  indolence- laziness   *8  ...
