Two Wine Glasses
*Lipstick stained the brim of one
The silver oxidized in darkness
The candle's dance undone
The cloth is caked in decay
Shed skin saturates the air
A lumbering heap sits in solitude
Where across the table he stares
He alone for this eternal space
An hommage to his days of gold
Dreary dismay down a fallen face
Hollow hearths invite the cold*

*"hommage" ('um-aj') is the french of homage (e.g. to pay homage to something). I have used it as a noun as I have heard it employed this way in the English language, but it may not be cosher. Sorry if it doesn't read naturally to some, you may prefer "An hommage"="A relic" and you can read it as such ^_^
