Storm Clouds Call Just now, the breath of life, the silken nadir of being, (burnished and sacrosanct), was immersed within your oration. The self-deception of summer's affliction was gone, and cerulean lambrequins of regret, of wretchedness, came to asperse our voiceless truths. Concealed by these opaque assurances of abhorrence, I withered. Denied your embrace, (though a remembrance of your lips still burns within my words), storm clouds gathered, as my clenched hand opened softly beneath the despondent torrent of your farewell. Let lissome tears fall, for none will see their sculpted tracks upon these cheeks. Into hurts’ maelstrom let whorl heartache. Naught bridges this bitter divergence. Plaited into the muddled ridges of chagrin, quivers dogmatic clouds of precipitation. Inasmuch as the deluge, gibbers over my declining hues of aureate and ashen self-control, I can not but feel disturbed by this departure of tenderness. Somewhere above, sea gulls thrash upon chalky wings, silhouetted against this injurious tempest. Vertigo disburses their wounds; oh how I wish it could be so for me. In the velvety crux of such vapors, midst the azure of lightening, I’d seek the stroke, which could sear your goodbye, from consciousness. |

In the velvety crux of such vapors, midst the azure of lightening, I’d seek the stroke, which could sear your goodbye, from consciousness. Oh if only it were that easy to erase some of the great loves...... well then we wouldnt have such eloquent words nice to see you again in here, kevvy |

Impressive array of vocabulary. Very sophisticated poem. I felt the last stanza was particularly effective as well never try to teach a pig to sing |
