A Rondo in Your Shadow
An acrostic poem
"The rondo is a musical form that contains a principal theme which alternates with one or more contrasting themes..." - Oxford University Press
______________________________________________
Eternally we dance - a rondo in each others arms,
Clutching at threads of memory and past -
Little more than life's final gasps.
Into the darkness we waltz,
Parting for one final assault -
Shouldering the gravity of worlds and bodies,
Equally crumbling under the annihilation that we embody.
