Drowning In the Ebon Sky
fragile b r e a k of dawn ascends,
crickets fall asleep,
the sun beams in morn’s glory.
heartbreak calls me,
for I am awakened by its lamented
marvel-
no time to rest when loneliness
runs through your veins.
sightless eyes peek through the sill
and yet, I am forever seeking more
than life offers.
for I am but a resounding aria of
t e m p e r a m e n t a l mania,
encompassed by a turbulent existence
of lapses in judgement.
silhouetted etchings of love lost
resound in raging r e m o r s e,
a temperament I cannot control-
forever descending into forsaken lonely memories.
harsh break of eventide ascends,
crickets awaken to moonlit stars-
I hear the weeping of willows
m o u r n i n g their broken branches…
and I drown in the ebon sky
