Poem
The words fell on my soul, drawing tears
From the depths of my spirit, tender tears…
Rushing down naked cheeks, penetrating
Hope with stabs of regret, sorrow, angst
An ache that gave me a feeling it would never
Fade or degrade its raw sensation of grief

“Michael died – he passed away… gone into eternity”
Mourning throbbed on my heart with pounding
Pulsing rhythms of despair, misery, sorrow
As my heart thumped awake, pounding out a beat
That told me I was alone, abandoned by a heart
Who had known only kindness, gentleness, love

Death is like a knife slicing away at the veins
Of one whose heart is racing with silent pain
That courses through the crimson layers of life
Stark as the gray clouds, drifting along the horizon
Hiding the sun beneath the doubt and sadness
Spoiling every thought of joy and contentment

Vibrating, beating out an echo of lamenting, weeping
Like the hole inside gushing out rivers of tears
Would not be clogged or blocked by any kind thought
Consoling words and pity from sympathizers
Couldn’t pierce through the shell of agony
The ache that wound a trail straight through me

Coloring my life in black dread and torment
Hues of hope were left at the side of the road
Where this lost love couldn’t possibly find the courage
Or strength to reach out to someone for the chance
Of a comforting solace that might allow me 
The accidental fortune of one optimistic thought

The ache of this loss was more than my mind 
Could take, more than my heart could accept,
More than I could recognize as mere fate,
Silencing the flood of desolation that left me with
An ache I had never suffered before in my lifetime…
It came with a roar who beckoned death to die itself!

Die, death… oh, die, you monster of destruction
Die, die, die…
