Where have
You gone
Consumed by tears and mournful dirge
Silent poetry flows with lamented wind
Thy gaunt
Look wanes
Each night.
Dark roots
Embrace thee,
Deep-seated sorrow unsettling and numbing.
Erstwhile bitter struggles, hesitating in darkness;
Thy soft
Bare lips
Grave laden.
Darkness awakes
The unhurried
Moon, cooling the unburnished fractured heart;
Never an earthly seraph to console
Thy lament
Dissipating soul’s
Ceaseless ache.
