This could be used as a poetic summary of The Picture of Dorian Gray. A nice tribute to Oscar Wilde himself. A great psychological novel that continues into the ages. While I do not like the way this poem flows, the author did a great job capturing the character of Dorian Gray. An interesting, thought provoking read.
Nice poem, I liked it, thanks for sharing...Such a wonderful and inspiring ending Yet, in life everything comes up with a price; and downfalls succeed the glorious rise, of all young men unaware of their demise- At the table of destiny, they roll another dice.
