Epitaph
RipR.I.P.

Life Beloving Dualdark Night
Some days and nights
I am terrorized by death,
cold silo ache-echoing fear,

if it cannot at least invite eternal engagement?

Adieu - Part 2The tears flowed and I still smiled,
My body and spirit and mind,
Were still in that state of residual bliss,
Soaking in your sweet smile,
