A Love Eclipsed By Time
The light of your radiance has begun to pale
The golden parasol spawned in your prime now tarnished by silver mail
Your effervescent shine now eviscerated by a callous shell
Your passionless glare disbands our symmetrical estate nail by nail
Your youthful complexion scourged by a strain that is pallid and stale
Your brimming border now encircled by a stolid trail
Your free-flowing, gilded mane now saddled; slowed gait, you aimlessly flail
Your shielded hearth no longer an incubating swell
The residual heat can no longer the cooling tides quell
Your sunny stanzas now the purview of a discordant nightingale
The obstacle to our rapproachement a summit to high to scale
Your coarsening atoll now ringed with deep craters; my shallow mind dare not assail
Your lifeless orbit stranded in the dark shadows; a temporal hell
The dying embers quenched and shrouded by a murky veil
