Weeping widow

Response to a writing prompt. Must use the words "sanguine", "hopeless" and "purpose".

Hopeless despair reverberates

through thinly veiled persistence

Her futile wails resurrect no lasting presence

the somber aura of her lover's sanguine visage

ha! give in

A lasting song illuminates his golden tomb

for no purpose could ferry her from the dense pull of his fate's gloom
