Words drowned in tears is where my pen will fall,
I tend to dwell in wistful sides of life;
the dead, the lost, the gone, pale ghost that call-
My thoughts in dreams are sharp edged like a knife,
And is my broken, fragile spirit weak?
I chant a song to keep the ghosts away.
Why must they shadow me with hands that seek?
Can they not stay in tombs in their decay?
About dark death I tend to write my words!
Sometimes, I pen my words of nature sweet,
in cemeteries green with trees- sing birds,
and deep and dark my sad words fall- then meet.
