When I Am Dust

as you 
remember 
slender trees 

and sonnets sung 
on open seas 
will you, my love, 

remember me? 
when I am dust 
unto the grave 

entombed 
within the white 
worm cave 

will you 
speak for 
my soul to save? 

and when I burn 
in flames of fire 
for heated passion 

and desire 
please toss a rose 
upon my pyre
