The estranged verse cherished in love,
Is caressed in an acquisition of sorrow;
To revel in moments of has been,
But a journey awaiting better tomorrows.

Familiarity with the ins and outs of the growing grass;
Subsided in tinglings wrought of dew,
Aches for the cloudy sky; the broken morass,
Held in a heart for deprivation,
Safely sheltered from harrowing moments.

Perhaps the lonesome hour tolls willingly, Perhaps the window conceals something more permanent.
More than a feeling of irrelevant trifles;
More than a dream passing by.
Moonlight shines through a sea of absences,
So too shall the days of wilted melodies;

The garnished midnight intricacies have swallowed my heart,
Casting a willow upon graceless ebonies;
Wrinkled fingertips have grasped the body of thought,
Burrowing deep down in the goulart;
Smoking and withering values of yore,
Begetting others fear in refrain.
