I quest my love from the depths of silenced shadows,
amongst the reclusive dimness…
Where I compose my Soliloquy of Solitude
as I gravitate to a ghostly grimness…
Fortitude I have none, for my hermitic heart
pulsates within its penumbra prison…
I walk these calamitous corridors with the stench
of sulfates that have ruinously risen…
All I seek is you, my love, for you have gone,
and thus I’m trapped in tangled thoughts…
Where rivers of tears sing a sad song,
my lachrymal love tied by katabolic knots…
My hidden heart lays to rest, confined and consumptive,
for many other hearts here weep…
My eyes of devotion become blind,
and Symphony of Sorrows rampageously reap.
