Despondent Heart
Each walk along the cobblestone of night
reminds me how gladness becomes gloom
a despondent lesion from a heart,
while star-beam winks without a flare.
Here trembles a skyscape in the cold
as our affection in gradual leaks drains ,
and near winter too icy lingers,
that numb senses against it endure.
Although this moment denies to grip
one dedication tainted with a stoic end
as forward crawls our harrowing rift,
where a vanished dream lies , concealed.
For with this acceptance of loss, I pause,
yet, a graceful beat remains in frost that glows,
to triumph over reminisces stinging,
and stumble down like passion undone.
