He roamed in searching silence,

stumbling through the ruins of

the kingdom of his lonely mind,

where once ruled the queen of his heart.

He sat with his heavy head declining,

beneath the un-answering mid-life sun,

sinking deeper into the shadow of

his preconceived disintegrating self.

Pity escaped down his burning cheeks

to betray an inner breaking and

stained the cracking flag with regrets.

The hollow aching call of her name

echoed, from the boundaries of his soul

and returned unanswered in an empty shell.

He recalled her beautiful image to stab

at his cracked eyes, blinding him with

desperate thoughts of self destruction.

Insanity screamed out and silenced the

cry of his conscience in its final judgement.

He wandered in his hopeless search

under the ravaging farewell sun.

Through a desolate landscape designed

by her, to remain in ruins with him and

last for all time passing, he walked alone

contemplating the relief of his final breath.
