Deep Loneliness

his sweet scent of mere love still lives on

I walk, hark nature's moving sounds 
carried softly through forest paths 
nostalgic scent of rheumy dew grounds.  
 
fleeting dappled somber fingers 
unclosing against vast horizon, cause
without orb so nimble lingers.  
 
braids of pain stifle mine madness
loves unavoidable perpetual wink; mine
pate bowed with cherishing sadness
