let time pass

the daunting rays shimmer 
the moonlight in your tears
while the bloomless days of april
mirror the state of your fears

when creepy shadows peep
through the window of our glee,
winter's tattered memories
ponder the spring in your spree

while rampant chords echoed
our nuptial chants that night,
malice invaded languidly
the placid moment's plight

how graciously in defeat
along the mortal crest
passion in one fatal heave
splashed to shattered, labored rest

Looks like a sad story lies behind these wonderful lines. Some great imagery especially in the first two stanzas. Always curious to know the full story, but this is probably only me.
I have absolutely enjoyed this one despite its sad mood, or perhaps that what really attracted me thee most!
Thank you for sharing

I felt the crashing down and seperation of two
I agree with Rula on the point there is something more indeed

Hauntingly sad. Is death involved here? It's how I read it

A beautifully written poem. Meter is great, wonderfully descriptive opening two verses.

And I simply love 'the spring in your spree' (great edit from 'autumn' there btw)

One little crit - 'night / tide, doesn't rhyme.
Would 'the placid moment's plight' still say what you mean? Or 'bite' or 'smite'? Or 'spite'?

Such a sad write, and I do hope it is an imagined one and not fact

really luv your honest comment. will take heed of your suggestion - like 'plight'. fortunately it is only imaginary.
