forgetfulness (Other) by daniella
once over in the deserted dawn
did efflorescense from beyond,
and gazing to view a somber shadow found,
meadows razed in sullen bloom.
an empy vast arrested garden
reaped by indifferent hands, forgotten.
i dared not bend to embrace the blossoms
not for their aging cimmerian beauty,
nor for their wanton lit caress.
but therein, among the pungent buds
lay dying the callous prickled heart
of bold forgetfulness.
sudden through wind its ruinous seed
did mount its flight.
nor bird nor bee to mingle with this plight joined in
to still this impending night.
still, cast out to mix with lethal dew
into my deserted soul it grew.
despite my hand, to keep from view,
arising brisk to cloak my sorrow,
a fatal breath spread round my eyes
in pools of mourning for all tomorrows.
and forced a thorough tear,
edging me to borrow
a stumbled, backward gait and then inward on
behind me, towards the unending
deserted dawn
