Descending - Daylight Dies

Muted familiar fragrances

Distant fleeting recollections

This beauty I had come to know

Shatters

Then recedes

In brittle air

Aimless vagrant waters

Draw me out with the tide

Gasping, slowing descending

Screaming toward the shore

Painful persistent images

Disrupts my sleep

Intrudes in dreams

Faint droning echoes within the walls

Veiled reminders

Of regret time will hold
