Regress
Phantom shrouds of dreary old
Impose on ancient smiles
Beckoning of somber night
To fold with nestled grace
Sulked spotless of remorse
Reconcile love's virulence
Symbolic, shallow calm
Denigrating loyalty's
Relinquishment of trust
Cry dense thy sorrowed avalanche
Embittered by design
Dwindle passion's envied sigh
Drown silent languor deep
Heed to furtive tear-drop flow
Scream distant thoughts to speak
Pallor fade from gentle eyes
Fall restful memory
Merely dust upon my pride
Love's sickened reverie
~My Exile of Repose~
