Her Song Is Long Forgotten

Shrouded in mists of grief


 


Her song is long forgotten


 


Her strained hazy eyes


 


Dream of nights soaked in tears


 


For he had come with gifts and promises


 


Hope to revive her cracked lips under the royal sun


 


And she believed him


 


For his words were as a quenching sea


 


And he promised to shield her with dear protectiveness


 


But today,that hope is a mere confession


 


As the constant image of his face


 


Framed in her hands


 


Brings her to tears


 


o what a heart's treachery


 


For the grave sorrow in her eyes convicts me


 


Though the dynamic symphony of joy surrounds me


 


Still i can feel the suffering and blood, stenched in her beautiful soul


 


Beloved! may i be


 


Your short dusk


 


Your coin of gold


 


Your shining coal


 


But most of all, the clap of your lightining


 


That i may blossom your heart into the fragrance of love again


 


And catch a glimpse of your warm,friendly spirit


 


For the smell of your breathe is my living voice


 


And the butter in your eyes as waterlilly


 


Your cry roughly torments my spirit


 


So therefore, i ask that you'd


 


 Let me be your persistent kindness


 


To bring love and laughter to your brimming heart


 


For though you're hurt


 


I'm here to tell you


 


..................


 


That,with me


 


THIS TOO... SHALL PASS
