shattered souls

xxxi.

the gnawing joy of longing,

and fenced apart in separate worlds.

she realised the ether light was always

an eternal pursuit

scarce and faint,

his strength was plunging,

as she was not here,

his insuperable love

manifested pain cavorting in his soul,

and he was the rain,

falling endlessly into the fire

of the quiet and the gone

the end to them

was his cease of life,

yet her love hath no reason

to wear and pause.

they were like the

lot of tulips, true art

yet they burned out,

faint and battered

to the stern woes of now.

so in my literature class, we had to do an assignment on blackout poetry, and we were given five random texts. so i wrote five poems from the texts, and i put them all together as if it were a little story.

hope you like it! 💞

also, dedicated to evermind- because it's her birthday, and i love her, and she's wonderful 🌷💫

love,
