Saudade

Saudade, assiduously dumping buckets of gelid-infused water overtop my vehemently flickering flame.

Arrogantly reigning my banished feelings of joie de vi-vre.

Undermining my drumming heart, snapping both ligneous sticks into splinters.

Duping our garish star, precipitating a myriad of inexorably raucous winters.

Absentmindedly amending my evocative, gaudy-slathered soul.

Dowsing my dullsville, dreary inside with black and white.

Etching my gunmetal grave with my name and date, sizzling my emotions with crimson cracked coals.
