_______________


The forever growing misfortunes
Of all misplaced feelings

These unhealthy attachments
And morbid longing

The defeated resolve to
Inhibit daunting sensations

These smoke signals
Ascending in blind spots

The verses of a sad song
Etched deep in amnesiac's skin

These arsenic residuals
From the scandalous meetings

The gallant summer's soberly affections
Morphed to unreliable winter's numb love

And these fading lines of life
In death's soft embrace.
