Poem

Why love and never love again
Tears reach down and drown out memory
My heart pulled down and out in tidal forces  
Raw feelings cause trembling on the lakes sad reaches
Ripplings of waves cause no relief this day
Death. It is a start to end a friendship 
It starts within the bones of marrow emptiness

I draw back my bow with fire from my soul to tip of arrow
Release the flame to the funeral raft of straw and branches 
To send my sweet love off to her eternity without me

Quicksand becomes me in that instance
Who could have a more sinking soul 
Then to send my sweet love off
Just off shore in a funeral raft of straw in flames

Incendiary baron world surrounds us 
In lighted night to burn my loves last remains
Last hopes, remnants of a passion that burns out
Brings me lower to sorrow no man needs to know

She burns down then sinks beneath the somber waves
Gray are the ashes floating with all lost souls
Caused from some disease that caused this fatal end
Unfolding life, floating ashes on the wind begin
There is no place called home
Grief is the only life I know.  It is my own  
I call it mine to the end of time and cry
As she is gone and so am I in life's short passing 
God gave me eyes to watch her slowly go
I just don’t know why life which is so beautiful
Must end and why...Why my love must die


Authors note:  I wanted to submit this poem for the Funeral Poetry Contest Deadline: Sunday, July 21, 2019 but 99 poems of the maximum 100 allowed have been entered and it looks like it is closed out already. I'm still posting it here for your reading pleasure, even though it may not be all that pleasurable.
