I met him a long, long time ago, denim clad and dusty leather boots sitting astride a motorcycle He took off his helmet; I stumbled only to stop dead on my hazed tracks and crashed in his ocean sapphire eyes. Scattered bouquets flowers wallpaper, soft silky satin and remnant dreams. Parched lilies quivers upon his grave and falls arched over where it now laves along with till dirt in the hot sun. Death doesn't mourn, but devours lovely things To savor every drop of anguish and narrate the final threads of life with a blithe attitude toward death. 5/17/2018
