Sepulchral Flame

Linden tree branches whisper your name
Cherished by flowers, blessed by the sky,
Carved on a stone. The sepulcher’s flame
Kindles and keeps my memories nigh. 

When your departure day I bemoan,
Endless your absence seems to have been. 
Deep in my heart regret you have sown,
Darker than weeping willows have seen.
