Lonna Blodgett Poet Rondeau

Empty Room

Cold eyes cast in the ashen colorless room
As smoky loneliness revels in an unheard tune
Playing in the background of a cruel lurid sentiment
Of two truths colliding while two lovers lament
Its bitterness is the venom of their love

Here alone in the empty gloom
Words slash like knives slaughtering silence with hideous doom
While this foolish heart listens and cries with its torment
Its bitterness is the venom of this love

I've held you with arms so empty, so bare
Like the flowers at a funeral that wilt in despair
I am abandoned and life is loveless and without intent
My epitaph will read "My life was surrendered and spent"
Here alone in this empty room
Its bitterness is the venom of love
