Esuries L

Esuries (L)

(A lone voice whispers)

Has love's incandescent crimson light bulb
Illuminated your lonely soul yet

To help you forget 
Those quiet years

When you walked upon fragile parapets alone 

You'd rather now paint
Using poetry as your only form of catharsis

Before you are called home
