Fealty's Storm

Clouds hover over fealty's 
splendored domain
Grey patches our devolving 
relationship stain
Dark shadows of doubt stride our 
weather vane
Jading wind of indifference; eerie, 
dolesome refrain
Thunderous echo of despair from  
distant, careening train
Lightening's serrated edges strike 
our exposed terrain
Duplicitous motives weathered bond 
doth strain
Torrential outbursts cannot all the 
opprobrium drain
Icy pellets laced with malice 
bombard each, desolate plain
Soaked psyches now bleached with 
residual disdain
From all rational discourse spent 
minds abstain
Penitent tears cannot cleanse the 
mildewed brain
Flooded tributaries flowing from 
fidelity's bulging vein
Eroding the final links of fealty's, 
tenuous chain
