When Death Has Stolen Both Life and Love , From My New Blog
When A Briefest Moment Of Light Chases Darkness Away
When deep lonely becomes your faithful companion
Dark fills your broken heart's empty canyons
Grief invades and your happiness washes away
Dawn weeps so very deeply- all life seems all gray
Your tears splash upon the most dreaded, sorrowful ground
And night arrives to your fortress skillfully pound
This world every hour seems a century long
You can only cry hearing her favorite song.
O' god, will this massive pain ever fly away?
O' god, shall this soul ever see a happy day?
As I live in this dark abyss, where fear reigns
And heart and soul swim oceans of grievous pains
Will I, this mountain of heartbreaking gloom defeat
As this black-world sends each morn's darkness to greet
I as a poet know, God's light can gift relief
In a blink, break chains, restoring faithful belief
What can a heart do, when weeping sorrows invade sleep
One finds their fervent wish is her to hold and keep?
O' god, will this massive pain ever fly away?
O' god, shall this soul ever see a happy day?

First Note- deleted….
Second note--
I pray such heartache and sorrow never ever
touches you my friends. For this is no greater, darker and more painful
experience than this…
This has totally demolished my thought to be fortress,
Shown it to be but a vain and mortal folly. No human alive can face this darkness,
this epic, avalanche of heart destroying pain and not weep..
I cry and yet wonder, shall I survive this??? RJL

When Death Has Stolen Both Life And Love
Dawn, I beg you- Light return
Do so to soul gift relief
Now pain, all life's true joy burns
And Dark casts its epic stabs of grief.
