The Tears Bequeathed

The Tears Bequeathed Of frozen droplets’ ice water in his veins swamped his heart little crystals of permafrost too rugged too woebegone to even drown his open-ended sorrows in the tears bequeathed by the outpouring void the downtrodden chute where his flute had once Charmed her flow the lock of her hair the green amber gaze now unbound in the bygone foreplay and symphony of dreams ‘Rose Perlemoen’ mother of pearls had left him a catcher in the dry lost in transition suffocated by fanciful reverie teased in playful enchantment pleased of seduction seized and then ceased in smothered abandoned fanciful fantasy of infinite love of eternal longing ‘Carpus Momento’ spurned lover and seeker had tasted seedless grapes of temptation once fulfilled twice refused ovules released A crevasse had opened had wrenched snatched charging pound his rhythm then closed over cascades of torrents in misty eyed drought When blood reached his cheeks ichor resembled no virgin’s stream yet an ocean of red escaped from jugular vessels as he lay on the ground His final words drowned in tears torn apart written in ink from his heart opened by her cunning freeze like icicle’ lingo to his child yet to be born 21st October 2016 Words Drowned In Tears Poetry Contest
