Died At the Cathedral

The songs of sorrow is toneless
The sorrows of the heart is song less
Gone and gone for good
The dept of death is Dept less
The cream of death  is colourfully
Sorrowful because none see's death but we
All hear from him often time
Why this marriage between the body and earth
Why this wedding between the grave and the living
None goes into this marriage of death and return
When death divorce's our breath we marry the earth
The bells of time can not stop death
The tolls by the cathedral mourns the scrolls
Because death can not be divorced
We are born to grow but we live only to die

Excuse my fellow poets who read you and say nothing. That does happen to many poets here. ***Just keep writing and refining your words**** The poem is not defined by its popularity.! Be a poet first and always. Sometimes piems with heart and feelings get by-passed if favor of jokes and wise cracks. It's just the truth. Panangiota

Your visit panagiota is good like the brightness of the moon light. You're poetic friend and I admire you.
