Line Gauthier Poet Quatrain

Silhouette of Regret

Inside my head bells of nostalgia incessantly do chime
Waking a mournful muse of longing and regret
I recognize her silhouette~ a wistful tall brunette
Forever chanting spells to turn back the hands of time

She waits till sunset to paint another cruel vignette
O to what heights I’d be eager to climb
To erase all traces of a lingering everhaunting crime
A much needed soul cleansing trek thru the mountains of Tibet
