Pangs

I felt a pang of sweet remembered love when I went back to places of the past Forbidden fruit, strong chemistry, a lock to leave and lose the key I felt the loss, keen, engraved when I heard your funeral was soon I’d spoken to you - hear your voice right now Silenced till the end of time I’ll add the echoes to my album of all the friends and others I have known now gone This is a vale of tears it can’t go on too long The books will fill, the bells will toll, the earth grow tired of blood and toil the years will cease, the time be gone and every name be called to come
