Seeking Peace In Cold Gush

With downpour hued in starlit gray, 
And fallen eyes are interlocked 
In drizzles where the torrent bites
Till candles  wane on fabric soiled
(As evening slips its frail chemise).

Her boudoir cluttered by the wind, 
Sighing a pitter-patter scream 
(Old woman dwells on passing sprees)
And on a chair, her drooped spine curves, 
(To track hazed lifetime’s reveries); 
Receding off so constantly.
 
Heels  tip tap rhythm on the floor;
 Alone, betrothed to lonely sheets 
(Entrusting stars for pain’s release).

How cold the gush in Summer's flight.
