Death Defying
All I have are words to wipe the wakeful wounds away
All that comes are tears to keep them for another day
Love’s lachrymal layers that fuel the foliaceous fires
Ignominious increments of solitudes sufficely seclude
While drenching in dreams of the barbarous brood
Lamenting lucidly lost in dimly dismantled desires
Watched by the watchers of lasting lingering liars
A sacrificial sage of the slaved selfless subdued
Blindly bedraggled
Secretly sadly sustained
Within vile vindictive veils
An emotive etch
Negatively neglected
I’m a loving lachrymose.
