renga

midnight odyssey
raindrops blend with butterflies
trapped in destiny

dawn pierces the silent spell
lonely sonata ensues

before departure
leave infinite at the door
time tells no more lies

hark; the broken-hearted's cry
heralds Fancy's requiem

pariah's blind thrill
on parched lips, a trace it stains
scattered bliss (is there?)

ghostly touch thy gibbet's kiss
madness, alibi unfound

tattooed on canvas
willful Cupid made his stain
culprit or a saint?

blazed in treason, i forbid
clasped in deepest seas, burning
