Chapter
VERSE: Optimus
Optimus opens with a caution that speaks directly to the well-meaning heart—the kind of person stirred by the sight of undone work, by silence when action is needed, and by the weight of tasks that seem to have been abandoned. A voice, noble in tone but dangerous in intent, whispers that it is right to step in and take on what others have left behind. It presents itself as a call to heroism, dressed in selflessness, yet it carries within it the seed of imbalance. The poem reveals this temptation as…-

The Fool Errant
In "A Dome of Many-Coloured Glass," the narrative begins with a series of lyrical exclamations that celebrate the beauty and transience of the natural world. Each stanza is an invocation of being—in turn—a flower basking in the relentless sun, a butterfly reposing serenely on a bloom, a cloud sailing across the sky, or a wave crashing onto the shore. These vivid scenes are suffused with a sense of joy and an acute awareness of nature's cyclic life, from the ephemeral existence of flowers and insects to…-

VERSE: A Contrast
A Contrast opens with an invitation to reflect on a closed chapter of life, framed by an old ebony casket filled with tokens from the past. The scene is not dramatic, but deeply personal—inside are weathered letters, a delicate ring, a once-cherished locket, and most tellingly, a small portrait tied with a crimson thread. Each object carries the weight of memory, not merely sentimental, but transformative in what they once meant and what they now represent. The portrait is especially significant,…-
