Soliloquy of Abandoned Lighthouse

O hear I chant clinging to a sullen northern shore, tempestuous serene rocky beach that you so adore, sultry soliloquy sturdy stifled structure sings, a witness of forgotten sailors and majestic kings. Them, I blessed with gracious shelter in storms, for I unmanned, rejoiced in accompanying norms dreaming of worlds afar with anchored symphony, of parting tears that await a returning euphony. O watch my ancient red-bricked watchtower in sky where the cherry-eyed albatross prepares to fly, whispering of solitary voyages on vessels adrift, guiding them through entailing waters, cold and swift. Them, I engulf in mystic hues of radiant green light, their shivering agony embraced by divine joy so bright, dancing to tunes of prodigious waves as they kissed, my feet reuniting with the ocean bed of forlorn mist. O taste the pungent waves that carry eternal seasons, timeless frequencies sprinkled on heavenly reasons, essence of leaves rolled in snow and streams they fuse, beads reborn of universe in a cradled hammock cruise. Them, I absorb with their enchanting viscous tides, they melt with innocent bliss my truculent slides that flourishes my solitary light to let me sense melodies of blushing mornings with visitors hence. O touch my abandoned walls, barren yet strong, bereft of warm embrace in a lifetime so long; them I nurture with tears of melancholic grief, to be held by tender nights of melodious relief. I await the echoing hums of a delicate little girl, her fingers orchestrated the howling wind with a twirl, I became the serene light that guides despondent ships, a proud beacon of benign hope dissolving dark eclipse.
