Touching Fate

Pieces of heart
Bleed on glass shards
Memoirs now start
Verse from sad bard


Line by line tell
As feeling surge
Pain seems to dwell 
On some odd verge


Verse in stern fit
Cuts sharp and deep
Loss of bold wit
Hits where tears weep


Touch in plain strokes
Hinge on brief binge
Pain knows to poke
On edgy fringe


Feel the damp air 
Where sad turns bad
A losing flair
Prompts anger mad


A forlorn face
Loiters with sketch
To plunder place 
In futile match


Come to know truth
In anxious form
As if to proof
A dying norm


Too soon, too late
That dying moan
Fear claims due fate
With final groan
