Sweet memories
Of all those lovely days
Have faded into long oblivion.
Yet angst and agony
Overtake the ailing heart
Recuperating in a peaceful pavilion.
Candid conglomeration Of those marvelous thrills
Thrives piercing breast as a needle.
The sumptuous romance
With an enticing damsel
Flickers like a mourning candle.
Yet an introspective brood
Breeds a comforting succor
Amid restless gloomy swooning nights.
Vast engulfing darkness
Of emotional ignorance
Kindles those ethereal eternal insights.
