Shadows did loom where love once shined bright,
Laughter drowned in endless night,
Our promises break, turn to lies,
Hope fades as passion dies,
Distance grows with sighs,
Hearts rend, untie,
Tears blur sight,
Goodbye,
Night.

The Lesions of Devotion
Every day I set myself down on the freshly cut lawn and strip myself bare. I take my guitar and finger the frets and pick at the strings, listening for dissonance. My life is dissonance. I twist the tuning pegs until each string sounds bright. Then I kneel, calves pointing behind me, kneecaps facing forward. All exposed to the breeze. I close my eyes and play the melody.

I love the lyrical rhymes in your nonet. Well done.
