AN EMPTY WIND

(Diminished Hexaverse ~ six line stanza with six syllabled lines diminishing to only one)

I searched the hollow air

But failed to find you there

Sweet echoes on the breeze

Remind how we did please,

Sweet were we, you and I,

Whispered memories cry.


Diamond tears fall

The wind on my face

Burns into your place,

Time has won the race.

I know you won't call.


Emptiness claims,

Loneliness maims

Breaking the chains

Down silent lanes.


I'd needed

And pleaded

Unheeded


Wind dies,

Breeze sighs,


Gone.
