As Love Dies

shattered,
as dream’s blood-splattered
tatters dripped away in gravel’ s grey
nothing left as love is cleft

a steam-less boiler standing still
no sense or purpose to fulfill
a bowed head on death’s bed
a listless sigh to lay and die

no hope, no glory
no future, no story

as we write of one soul’s plight
another day, another night
