Analysis of Life's sigh



What foretold to the one who hold,
when absence comes and essence is cold.
Appertunance to life inapt innate skirmishes,
Does ones importance shimmer to love once heart laces?

When passion of life are the current fashion,
Peeling feet to destination of a murky horizon.
What is meaning means to the shattered?
When does ray of light touch to the battered?

Smiles seems shying away towards disarray,
and Cotton is a shard of hardedge rugged stone.
Boneless strength of Perseverance when relevant;
When Fate is faithless and dryness is the water of life.

Those hugs and shoulder tap aren't puissant,
idiosyncratic fist punch and handshake croissant.  
Those fiery perspective of camaraderie gravitate to naught,
Unbalance fairness of senseless kaleidoscope life.
