Blue Crevasse of Gloom
In the cerulean fervent sky
my songbird of yearning soared high,
glided in the rippling amorous breeze
that wafted your fragrance to me,
until the splitting storm surged
and crushed the wings of longing.
The crippled bird lost the flight,
folded up the collapsed wings,
painfully wrinkled like fallen dry leaf,
drifting in the niche of my mangled mind
that turned into a ruined nest,
made of shattered stem called emotion.
In the frosty stillness of winter
the singing bird became silent,
its aborted flight of abandoned passion
could no longer find the sparkling sky,
tears froze in blue crevasse of glacial gloom,
the pain of broken heart congealed confined.
Someday under the bejeweled night sky,
traveling down the memory lane
you would remember me as a fading star
that lost its orbit and got sucked up
by the blue hole of dense despair
and disappeared from your sky forever.
