Eschewed Essence


Rhapsody of rainbow 
morphs melted 
into morose mélange,
scattered in sullen sky. 
Bleeding colors bleached 
from twilight cloud 
ruinous rainstorm daubs 
as derelict blemish 
on abandoned shards 
of broken heart.
Shades of blue 
permeate pining
frayed linen 
of lost love.

Requiem of roses 
resonates profound
in melancholic concerto.
Drooping petals languish
for dripping tear drops 
of mourning dew, 
desiccating dismayed
in somber sunshine 
in deserted mind,
where for bracing 
cold desolate stone
fallen flowers 
make bouquet 
for deceased passion. 

Cacophony capsuled 
in suffusing cauldron 
of mute melody,
lost in tempestuous sea
of incongruent tune,
chaotic symphony 
dismantles harmony
on discordant waves.
Synthetic smiles sneer 
scarred scenario 
of lonesome life.
Sanguine songs turn 
to convoluted noise, 
echoing in solemn soul.
Lattice of life 
seen through 
languid cynic lens
magnifies mystified
into crooked contortion 
of eschewed essence.
