sweet clemency



my soul searches ceaselessly



for your longed for window's ledge



no battle



no breath



no beloved



nor decency



just emptiness knocking..........



exhaustively knocking



at this friendless cell



the darkness whispers her useless poetry



to the haunted solitude like a pledge



love wreathing in splendid constancy



cowers in grim reminder now



of your previously so sweetly offered interlude



our union from this day to be



only a necessary wedge



to such pagan needs



I can not



must not abide



as that beast/wife  in your hidden



three story bedchamber



to my morality and conscience cries



though pale, drained and withered as I am



my strength couples steel



my commitment to the sanctity of self truth



though severely shaken



stands firmer still



to this unlawful love  in clamorous pause



defeated



upon the eve of



what was to be



our matrimony's tender twining



must trudge forth now



hollow



penniless



and alone



with innocent heart



badly wounded in baron twilight



a morsel of bitter regret



forced to walk away



from all she loves best



flailing in fate's unmerciful jaws



a hoodwinked little raw herring



battered by such harsh circumstance...............
