Engulfed

Darkness hath all but engulfed thee
Wherefore art thou, my shining light?
Hast thou abandon thee
In favour of yonder greener pastures
Or 'n search of a smoother ship
Ups and downs thy journey fraught
Gifts and apologies came to naught

Weep doth the heart now
A more sinister organ never before found
Shed its tears of blood within it smother'd doth a love newfound
Streaked across the parchments of old
Left to the laity decreeding so and so
Never again let the heart frown
