Alone Under stone The road ends here Grave of bones I reached out to caress The past, and her sweet heart so blessed Tears water down flowers, that one day shall wilt For even they, gave up on loves bloom I have been devoid of heart long ago Dead to the living Living for the dead Love does that, so do not dread She, who stole the essence of me, Where ever she shall be buried My bones may lie over yonder My heart lies heavy, with the phantom of she The past burying all, to the one and last Says I Alone under grey washed gravestone At long last Père Lachaise

A powerful mourner's repose you exhibited in this magnificent poem, Arthur. A sterling POTW entree. Worthy of high praise every bit. Love always.

Hello Arthur, Congratulations on POTW with his hauntingly excellent free verse on "Repose." This is a magnificent write for sure Arthur. Père Lachaise is a place of much history for sure. A FAVE POEM IN MY BOOK!! Cheers and Best, Gary

Congrats on POTW, Arthur. I remember you making reference to the cemetery of Pere Lachaise about a year ago...the end of the road and repose. // paul

Arthur, this has great atmosphere to it. First that picture which complements the piece so well and then the images of sadness and loneliness. I loved it. Why the Pere Lachaise at the end? (Oh, I just looked it up and saw it was a cemetery's name!!)
