Love Poem: Harbinger

Harbinger

Deceit o’ bloodred,
Languish droplets bled
Elements purge forlorn
Happily e’er after battle-torn

Cruel lips kiss adieu,
Loathsome toxin askew
Slumber still mercy mine
Ador bore thou decline

Tangled web of lies,
Depths of loveless eyes
Pierced by devious dart,
Enfeeble, tis terse impart

Remiss of presence so
Willful heart nary let go.
Welcome harbinger grim,
Laid broken, weakened dim.

Come hither sweet respite
To thy favor, I so submit.
Love’s demise hardens regret,
Behests reminisce lest I forget.
