Silence Cries For My Untouched Lover

Death's malodor dances 
with winds of lament

heart wonders, mind ponders

watching sunset lose her grace,
time has become an adversary,

pulsating in our misfortune,
orchestrating a tragedy of love

heart wonders, mind ponders

in the hope of tomorrow,
silence cries for my untouched lover.

How unjust life would be
if my last sigh was not in her presence

heart wonders, mind ponders

pangs of passion plead, 
to gaze into her eyes,
to lose myself in her scent,
to kiss the gloss of her lips,
to merge like ink and paper.

Devoted in an euphoric embrace,
illuminating like a perpetual rainbow

but

Romeo's curse contaminates our destiny -
her heart weeps, searching for a cure.

Simple Musing
Silent One

Tom Cunningham Date: 3/28/2020 9:59:00 AM It's sad that in the coming days many who have lost a partner will pass on alone but for many they may see it as a release. Stay safe, a doctor in London is predicting a tsunami in the next few weeks. Two hospitals being built along with NHS Nightingale, Bham Airport being prepared as a morgue. Stay safe. Tom Login to Reply Silent One Date: 3/29/2020 5:09:00 AM It will only get worse as according to doctors we have not even hit the peak yet... sad times... be strong and be safe my friend..
