Death

Come, look beyond the waters Their bodies floating ashore Young as their faces shown Water washes afloat her hair Black as the night And in her hands she held A locket of gold, engraved With eternal words, those of love Says his heart, placed on hers With this day, that has gone Along with his words Under the skies, they cried, Tears fell, as it rained Bringing with them, sorrow For all to mourn He lay there beside her Holding her to him, His eyes shown, a light, From beyond, a stare As cold, as the waters, Their love had lasted, As long as the candle blown.
