\n 
\nBright colours in a pool of crystal clarity
\nreflecting all the spectrum of our days
\nslip down into a quagmire of nonentity
\nwith nothing left to sully or erase.
\n 
\nThis cold disease that strips a man of human soul,
\nis worst of all the ravages of time;
\nbehold those eyes, devoid of everything you stole,
\nyet blissfully unknowing of your crime.
\n 
\nThis bright man, worn away to barest minimum,
\nthis one-time writer and great raconteur,
\nthis poet – will not travel to Byzantium;
\nhis world is fading to a senseless blur.
