A Poem from 2013
As The Light Fades
White doves flutter, dying words whisper
silence becomes haunting, and Angels sing
a lone filtering light of soft glisster
casts fleeting shadows from a white dove's wing
this lighted arrow pierces the dusk-gray
I shall pray for you on my knees my love
and touch the hard floor where your casket lay
to seek unanswered questions from above
I find no comfort in your final breath
forgive me, as I taste this bitter wine
release me from a vow I once confessed
by the shadow of your spirit divine
poison drips bitter from this drink I've made
brings a silent cold dark, as the light fades...
