Glances


She stares at her past in the darkness of her soul
Dark pages the mind dreads
Enchanted estranged
Her existence, her essence a sad tale
Of memories wished forlorn
But constant in faithfulness abiding
Like scars of battles survived.
Fate! O fate!!
Whence from came this storm?
This wells of bitterness and sad pains vernal?
From whence this agony,
This constantly darkened eclipsed sun over my being?
As I hold back welled up tears
With starry eyes like pregnant clouds
I stare back into vernal dreams
Now besmirched my nubile fate.
Glances sad ones a strewn
On the corridors of life
Like beautiful bouquets of roses
Sprayed for royal processions.
