A tremor of heartache
Has warped his solid ground
Once bathed in pristine romance
And the faultless luxuries
Of youthful affection

Tender streams overflow
Boiling hatefully
Raging with scorn

Panic charges
For the calm waves afar
Brimmed with solace
Lush, fulfilled and content

Yet the tremors sprawl
With each passing thought
Greater in magnitude
Maiming, far and wide

Coherent reveries
Are swallowed and sealed
As wrath commands
Over teaming hill and shrub
