Love’s Labour’s Lost

Forsooth it’s best the status quo rests
for you a glimmer of the beau
Of fan’asy, to be or not to be
as the flicker of hope thus burns
Whereas if the biston betularia comes
too close to the light
all it finds is a might beyond imagining

An evaporation of a mirage
hissing in the calefaction of its beat

Note: A heresy yes I know. But it’s in fulfilment of NaPoWriMo (I’m a late starter yes, 20 over days late) and also a sudden inspiration that came from the Skye.
