Southern Gothic.

by @trevor-blevins

This cathedral was ruined by dust, Your altar has gone out And you smell so strongly of the pine trees you rest your head under. I wish I could bottle you, Either to have that aroma at my disposal, Or a shot of you to drown out my hardships. Each day moves in sequence with great emphasis on the orchards, Bearing myriad fruits, Such heavy blossoms in sequence with your arrival. I'll wish I wouldn't have locked myself away, Away from the sunlight— The good sunbeams that grant entrance into life, Spending all my time lamenting for the world around me. Seems like no time to feel love now, Only time to cry for the love I let go to waste.
