Cursory Crossing
The calling of pity echoes from
The rotting boughs where doves
Surrender pieces of freedom
To satiate sapless loves;
Near the border of slate-gray
Lake stands two souls meander
As poor children celebrate
With lack of laden vigor,
Their eyes touch in brisk attention:
One stares down into the pendulous
Chasm of boundless infatuation,
The counterpart dwell on dubious.
When snow on the zenith finally thaw
The eternal vows are laid to rest
Near the tombstone crows call
And moss infest;
Once again by the lake they stand still
No beating passion nor repercussion
Eyeing the demise of past duo kills
Ebbing waves in ceaseless cessation.

This poem was inspired by reading the poem "Ephemeral" by W.B. Yeats. It talks about the dying love between a couple. I developed the plot by setting the scene in nature and using metaphors relating to animals and other natural living.
