the prevalent literary subject
the inevitable centerpiece
the time worn muse
is heartbreak, she sings doleful
of the heart's sweet bleeding
of silken love unrequited
drenched in the light of bare moon
she is subconsciously sought after
by those who dance in the pit of their minds
and relish strong, raw emotion
they are true artists,
painting with grey feeling
using searing dejection as ink
heartbreak- her hands delicate, body frail
she grows older and sterile
but we still search for her golden figure
and snatch pieces of mournful song
