Soul

She wilts like the fading sun
Cascading her blackened hair 
Smoothing of tethered tendrils
Patiently awaiting peace of night 

A contest of fallow emotions  
He parched an insipid response
Caressing her futile inclination 
His extended shrapnel to heart 

They cloistered sterile armament 
Threatening; minds sliced apart 
Confetti; depleted like snowflakes
Disembodied illusive sentiments

She rises a sterile victory
Insulated munitions to proclaim
Uninhibited; recluse of soul
His destruction...    
                            .... sequestered injustice!
