The Wilting Rose

love is lonely
love is blind
love is ever
unsatisfied
love can pass
and turn from you
love is death
it is untrue
love is uttered
in absentness
it is lashed out
by a poisoned kiss
love surrenders
to weary hearts
then leads them straight
from light to dark
love is bloody
on a winding road
it breaks all hearts
and leaves them cold
love can ache
from root to stem
love can kill
and then condemn
love is voiced
by foul deceit
it comes from light
but will make you weep
love is dark
coiled and twined

so colorless
love is unkind

swan song

A fall of worldly life cannot devour
Nor take fate herein, lest tomorrow wilt
By Godly hand to the breadth and power
Of all our love, fabricate where built
The mere consciousness of a bright esteem

By once fair days of light into my soul
She loved me purer than heavenly dream
O what flawless beauty into extol!
What within this earthly sphere may adieu
My tears, when away from this world she parts
Through her mortal coil by the one who knew
What always twinned our souls, mirrored our hearts
What life is life without the life it were
I'll cease my mortal pain to be with her

Gift

Please tell me will you help me
To relieve my love and pain
For every ghostly image
Wishing to see me die in vain

For every wrong I've done
I'll reap what I have sown
Then pray to the wisdom above
To greet me when I go

So bless my words engraved
In the minds of those that read
My book of poetry within
Every thought that I have shed

Pushing me to carry on
Through the gift that God had chose
To give to me so selfless
Until my book does close

And by each step I've taken
Please promise me tonight
That I'll never be forgotten
At the end beyond this life

And when heaven will smile down
To receive me in embrace
This is what I'll leave for you
The gift that God had gave
