Nothing Lasts Forever

Nothing Lasts Forever Weathered clapboards count death’s cadence bleached bones of faded lives rusted bells hang limply – silenced mourning beneath long tearless skies sad emptiness when longing dies. Once, bells pealed, come hither bright sunshine kissed love’s tower none felt the doubtful shiver one heart condemned to cower blood stained - within the bower. ©1/15/2018 submitted to – 10 Lines, 5 Words: Rhyme II – Poetry Contest sponsor – Laura Loo
