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
