Guarding Her Trails

Forlorn, with only her tremulous sigh
A beloved child-woman, pleasant  but lost,
When shadows  end love’s moment to decry
Resplendence of evenings… oh fate all crossed:
Her once lucent essence  undone this time
When emptiness grasps  for vaporlike  air
Through midnight’s  taste, each bitterness  a grime
As pour of frothy tears spill everywhere...
And marrow, veins,   claim anguish deep inside
Neglecting an ebullient spirit, bold
That she in this lackluster room would hide
Without moon    with blur of secrets untold.

Yet he,   through mystical  spell  guards her ways
To calm a  heart as rune of light obeys.

I love you poetry Nette - it has a tone of a true professional, a poet who has written and read poetry of each era in History, what I'm trying to say, you sound like a young female Shakespearean poet - Bravo Nette! Poetry hugs and wishes, Jennifer.
