Ashes To Ashes

Tears dripped from my eyes Fear gripped my tender hope Death has stinged my lovely bole And sealed it in a forgotten hole. I looked with clear curiosity ; shadow hooked me with cruel hostility And my hope zoomed into a misty city As the dark room swallowed my love without pity. Flasbacks of our past peering overhauled my screen And melodies of our former concert ringed in my spirit, I could not help so i had to screem As i see my precious person thrown into a pit. Oh death; cruel shadow You have put fear into reality By your sting that spits vanity You have burnt my golden stick to ashes. Millions of years beneath the earth; Only in my dreams he zooms Just as a bubble he floats and flares Because ashes has turn to ashes.
