Inert evening

A tucked-in flame serves companion for night,
while manuscripts laden with jaded ink
beseech the cursed quill of its plight.

Thoughtless contortions of the mind, he thinks,
have rendered fetter-less emotions mute.
"She hides the conceptual chalice to drink!"

"Damn she this penurious poet minute?
Forsaken muscle of expressions,
hither not to the condemned mind's dispute!"

....

"Sweet nymph, devoid of hopeful expectations
for tides are barren. Wind gusts are blessings.
This poet's nil of manifestations."

An unerring choice to leave the flat sings,
longing for silent pendulous meadows.
Where he thinks of what that rigid birch brings.

Wrapped in ebony's blanket, sleeps the sun.
His demise left hanging; the Muse had won.

but it is the loss that shapes the image,
gathers the flowers weaves the garland."-
