Inimical waves breach the decrepit defences of a citadel
Mangled designs were revived from discarded parchments
Bruised egos gathered to conspire a faulty realism
Charlatans were honoured for their extraordinary contribution
Paving the devious labyrinths that resemble poisonous vipers
A painter holding a palette with the darkest shade of gloom
Obliged to serve the Muse with absorbing sinister dreams
Blue from extremely cold sentiments, silhouettes mourn
Waiting for the disintegrating citadel to bury unrealised dreams
