Mandolins in the rain

Impatience    
Equipped and unbound  
Delegated  
Handpicked and uncrowned  
Enervated  
Unwise and unsound  
Saturated  
Involved and profound  
 
Detriment  
The blade of a sliver  
Jaded  
The consonants quiver  
Spoken  
All the lies you’ve delivered  
Focussed  
On destinies withered    
 
Downcast    
Forlorn and strife lending  
Dominance  
A dark and cruel tending  
Process  
A whirl of life bending  
Inelegance    
Unvarnished and blending  
 
Captured  
A thorn of cruel notions  
Absent  
Of love and devotion  
Vehemence  
Orchestrated emotion  
Stranglehold  
The effects of the potion  
 
Hardened  
And paying my dues    
Provoked  
Absolving my muse  
Impassioned  
Redefining the cues  
A warrior  
The rebel pursues    
 
Comeback  
The rustler’s disdain  
Indifference    
The dominant strain  
Mindset  
The fast moving train  
Recovery
