Hope

In times of plight I seek for you,
  When rivers freeze and left are few,
While sorrow strikes, among the meek,
  O’er the winds, and under the creeks,
It's you who then I wish to seek.

Mirth adorned in your silhouette,
  In times of war, all when stale and vain,
The picture of you, is tainted coaled,
  Relinquishing my soul, from the cold,
I seek to weld, our belted bond.

While the willow, in her bow'r sleeps,
  drooping to the sunset steep,
like silver pellets along my chest;
  they pierce through and caress, 
At times like these, you seek for me.

Forward, Unfazed;
  Not a moment to waste!
I long to bask in your estate,
  Of short and glorious, evanescence!
I've come to seek, your essence!
