ephemeral

as lilac streaks alight the sapphire sky
the jolts of ice pervade my heart with rues
torn shadows of my soulless self now lie
dead static with the fading twilight blues
the distant rumble of the fatal knell
had summoned up a storm that flung the dove
into the caustic flames of bitter hell
and scattered ashes of a crimsoned love
on broken wings, you threw yourself aloft
into the fractals of oblivion
for shards of jaded moments is your soft
reflection lost in deep obsidian
...what use to wish your aura not sublime
...along with swirls of evanescent time
