Lady Harken under Guillotine

By your leave, let I slumber once forever..

And my moment shall never realize itself.

My portfolio possess no wherewithal wager,

My seat of affection is now dull and rough.

 

Sepsis leak a foggy black since blight is nigh,

The sea is feeble whilst the sun shine naught.

The corpse of venal men flow unhealthy dye,

Henceforth pervade the soil with miasmic malt.

 

Lest my mistimed demise be not remembered,

Shall the script mark y'all failed to deter abuse.

Today my ember is snuffed and plundered,

On the morrow a bright star will rise, I muse.

 

Heed thine auguries borne from frigid stupor,

Vicious tendrils cascade upon my rigor mortis.

O gray vision as though gazing through vapor,

Hear that silent gasp veiled under my spicy lips.

Weary rhymes. The ink flowed into that direction. I followed. Peculiar. I blame the rain. :)) Btw, read it with a female voice.. lol.
