Her Sorrow
Her sweet melodious hymn
Ringing from a heavy heart
Another pathetic tune
Woefully rang about her loss
Tears of pain pour from My eyes
The pain in tandem with hers
Her sighs echo in mine
My heart a river in flood
For is it mine or hers, love lost
Sometimes I still hear her
Moaning by the stream
Weeping her heart out
For what could not be
Deep inside I know her loss is mine

An Unknown Life
The warm friendly hand
embracing and encircling you
as the peaceful eternal sleep
come drifting on you
You enjoy the fine feeling
an angelic smile bedecks you
as your head slides besides
and calmness confronts you
Something so sublime, you never knew
These spectacular dazzling lights
greet you to eternal life
from millions of glowing stars
Taken on this grand tour
Where destiny merges with time
Millions of universes away
known only as dark death to mankind! !

Will You Be There Sone?
Will you be there Sone,
When desolateness & loneliness sweeps
and my shoulders bend in defeat
lift my spirits and give some solace
To bleed this bitterness and weep
Will you be there Sone,
When the world deafens in its crescendo
And there is no one to hear me speak
lend your thoughts and hear my silence
To tame this wildly beating breast
Will you be there Sone,
When over rough rock strewn paths
I twist my steps and stumble
Cushion my fall and wipe my hurts
To place run away tendrils
Will you be there Sone,
When we realize our lives is a past
Days through which we laughed and lived
Share the burden of memories
To dry my tears and hold my sighs
Will you be there Sone,
When all alone, I quake and tremble
afraid of sinister ministrations
You open arms to my haven for escape
Gently quieten my heaving heart
To a blissful slumber
