Devoid of Sustenance

This night of misery my essence rapidly descending Tears like summer rain cascading O for this dark wintry night prolong Breaking heart aches so forlorn Circumstance, distance always impeding In silence apprehensive heart conceding Devoid of sustenance waiting in anguish Quiescent alone in sorrow I languish As posts interweave deferring Father Time nonchalant delaying Yet, essence nourish essence elating Unadulterated love relaying Tonight, on borrowed wings my heart must fly To sheltering warm arms in which I'll lie

You should have been born during the British Romantic Period, Audrey, because this poem matches well with the love poem of Keats, Shelley and Byron. Terrific writing to express a deep sense of sadness. The last two lines are magnificent! Love, carolyn (and you called me Doris in a recent comment, but I surely know how easily that mistake can be made)
