Yet another vestige of love lost whetted cheeks and swollen eyes life's cruel moments wreak havoc within the softness of one's heart. A heart stops beating with malice the breath gone in a rattle and hum final whispers and the brain quivers dormant pulse and a bluish pallor. The tempest roars insatiably loud a body can be lost, never to be found great ships disintegrate upon granite lives are left, penned on parchment. The Reaper stares jubilant from rocks as a grand lighthouse loses once more. Clothing and splintered wood float by as rubble and rabble left on the shore. In a stormy gale, glows a freakish orb slapped by the tail of a golden stingray harbinger doomed in a soulless sky tears in the torrent beget a dark night.
