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.
