Penumbra
At last you've come,
(with something of a subtle grace)
O' obscurity that smile on your face,
now lacks love.
From a distance
I hear the sojourn of the wind,
it speaks of our end -
as if its known all along.
This night the stoic moon
shares it's lonely glow
as if it also knows -
this night our joining's severed.
And all the stars dim to sorrow,
mourning the murder of our love,
one falls below from above -
a symbol of our parting.
And her lips touched mine,
but for a moment of bliss,
one sweet mortal kiss -
then she passed like a clandestine comet.

very milk-fed pedomorphic oxymoron.Why,oh why do Brits still bother to speak - that is redundant - even more so than a mid-month jam rag - you sad little cynic.
O' obscurity that smile on your face,
Eh? sudden use of fancy ole english, and theres that simplistic rhyming scheme present, sojourn of the wind? stoic moon? murder of our love? oh, and cherry topped with a comet.. Was this supposed to be a pimple?
Sorry. No sale. Chewed & Rejected. Blessed with three.
I like 'clandestine comet'.
