Autumnal Lament

Let pass and fade her vernal hues
that once quelled my life's despair.
Only shades remain now
lingering on a fell air, an empty fell air.

Waning within her thoughts. I betrayed, my misdeeds, my shame.
As these leaves, shall I wither the same and fall within an eternity?

Apathetic stars mill in their spheres. An overture to the bleak.
Waking to this silent discord and an autumn chill of disparity.

Shadows stirring in her wake apprise me she is well.
I bide this austere flower. A forlorn wind doth sunder to bone.

Beneath a dark uncaring sky,
I watched her close for her eyes to bespeak
a telling sign that her soul doth not seek
another's comfort, beyond my heart's reach.

That night I died. She was my light, my Luna.
Like I was the sun, away in flight fled Luna.
My skies now bare. Far from my sight, crying Luna.
Forever gone. Black empty night. I lost Luna.

The night falls with one breath
and delivers me to the cold, to her cold.

Shadows stirring in her wake apprise me she is well.
I bide this austere flower. A forlorn heart doth sunder and fall away.
