Last Wistful Rhapsody

Wrapped in watchful consoling arms of a silver lingering moon Helplessly succumbing to the blow of a treacherous harpoon Salvaged every last remaining thought for his heavenly bonnie Confiding in the stars up above the rest of their love story Refusing to close his eyes that long to find her exquisite face And prolong every unfading dream of her seductive embrace Serenaded with a rhapsody softly playing in his ear He feels the quietus approaching ever so gently, 'tis near He releases his miserly grip with no ounce of self-pity Sets free his soul into the fathomless calm of eternity Submitted on March 12, 2018 for contest FIVE WORDS, PLEASE sponsored by BROKEN WINGS - RANKED 3RD
