V= Framed

Another autumn's sunlight

Tempers weary muted earth

Memories arise

Like trodden footsteps

From my being to my worth

A paler shade is cast across

The smile you've tired so many years

A never faultering delusion

Through life's superficial fears

Never lending any comfort

An evanescent

Moment trapped in time

An ever-fading fixture

Of a love escaping mine

A watchful gaze eluding soul

No more a mutual reply

Like pebble washed by ocean

I've prayed this crushing wave

Will gently lie

Dormant to my senses

Like an unforgotten dream

Times remember tempests

Nightmares sentient

Vanquishing redeem

Seas of empty promises

Never to subside

Rapt in loves remembrance

And deaths merciless abide
