Penumbra (Free verse) by klosterfobik
At last you've come, (with something of a subtle grace) O' obscurity that smile on your face, now lacks love. From a distance I hear the sojourn of the wind, it speaks of our end - as if its known all along. This night the stoic moon shares it's lonely glow as if it also knows - this night our joining's severed. And all the stars dim to sorrow, mourning the murder of our love, one falls below from above - a symbol of our parting. And her lips touched mine, but for a moment of bliss, one sweet mortal kiss - then she passed like a clandestine comet.

Why, oh why does poemranker occasionally throw up misanthropes with such stultifying perspicacity as to render the whole website as redundant as a mid-month jam rag?

How does this poem imply that I hate people?(or did you forget the definition of misanthrope)?And stultifying perspicacity is a
very milk-fed pedomorphic oxymoron.Why,oh why do Brits still bother to speak - that is redundant - even more so than a mid-month jam rag - you sad little cynic.

I'see your grammar - is coming? on in leaps & bounds. You are a flatulent pederast.

Even the doorknob becomes grief when grief is there. "The stoic moon shares it's lonely glow as if it knows."

O' obscurity that smile on your face,

Eh? sudden use of fancy ole english, and theres that simplistic rhyming scheme present, sojourn of the wind? stoic moon? murder of our love? oh, and cherry topped with a comet.. Was this supposed to be a pimple?

Sorry. No sale. Chewed & Rejected. Blessed with three.

Would it really matter if it was a pimple?
