My Greatest Love

Even the most beautiful creatures can fade into the dark,
Enveloped in grief of a death of silence and stillness,
Silence smothered the flames into ash,
It was a burial that destroyed his very soul,
A funeral procession with such drama,
I walk in the hallways of my mind to recreate it,
Imagination and desire still has small peaks,
Unspoken words watered the flames,
I tried to hang on as long as I could,
One memory burns brighter then the rest,
Which will take me places at times,
She will always be my greatest love.
