Lonely Farewell Dance
and in the shadows sets the amaretto sun-
the solitude has ascended and splashes of eventide fade
into the ivory glazed moonlight, but I am forsaken and
left alone as the forest wood remembers my sorrow.
a willow weeps for me-
she lends me a branch to wipe the salt running down my cheeks,
for she is my salvation tonight,
my guard against all that has left me in endless darkness.
-it has arrived-
desolation’s farewell dance. (I cannot breathe)
it resounds in a melody only my shattered soul can comprehend.
an aria of regret runs down my nape and I am drowning in
spiritual apathy…
once again.
the night’s sullen blanket envelopes me, but the warmth turns to
ice and I bathe in the bitterness of the saturnine sky-
forever lost in lonely memories.
for you were my cadence...
...now I am dying in rhythmic silence.
