Tears of Rhyme

The night is old, the candle spent,
My mind anew to worries lent,
The air is cold, the moon serene, 
My heart laid bare of things I’ve seen. 

Your memory is rising high
And though I struggle to defy
Your calls across the vale of time,
My thoughts condense as tears of rhyme. 

And thus I carry on, unsure
Of whether I could ask for more
From you or me, with heavy breath
Whose weight I’ll carry to my death.

Straight from the heart with a cleanser for the mind. A powerful seven and an absolute wonder.
