Nette Onclaud Poet Rhyme

Nothing Lasts Forever

When distance circles the shoreline
Painfully , a numb breeze  decries
How our lackluster glance mirrors
Frail changing of hesitant eyes.
Across night’s starkly blunt  edges
Fondness dangles like threadbare reeds;
Knowing warmth is not forever
When moonless summer’s  rapture bleeds.
~

My spirit homeless now admits,
This fleeting affair… love resists.
