Mossy vines served as camouflage for a decaying headstone
Lying the corpse of his beloved in the antique cemetery
Betrayed by her heart that stopped by immense emotions
Losing the flower of his garden in their wedding ceremony
Tomb was visited by the weeping gentleman every morning
Leaving a bouquet of white roses as a symbol of their love
Remembering the day when they met in an afternoon stroll
Recognizing each other that true love will bloom in their hearts
One year later, the gentleman was found dead near the tomb
Cemetery caretaker notified to the authorities about the decease
Heart broken heart was the determined cause of his expiration
A white rose was hidden near the tomb, as a symbol of eternal love

Sempiternity Birth
At last, when the world is done
In the final end of all your dreams
At last to rest
No more the veils of sorrows bitterness
Slipped from the noose
All the pains of your heart
This life flow ebb relinquishes grasp
To carry no more these burdens
And so all the questions fade
Their shadows irksome litany unanswered
Floats away
To the pointless hills of aspiration
Where all thought matters not
And see such grandeur of tissue castles
Have come to nought
This final sigh reaches to the unknown
Goes out beyond any description
Of matter intoxicated form
And vanishes before those who carry on
Without you
There before all the stars you are freed
Disentangled from such petty cravings
Loosened at last from all your need
In the borrowed time of eternity
You pass from flesh
To the ever open door of death
Leave the earth in its slow struggling vibration
Eternal now as you pass beyond
With all the collected works of love
And those in perpetuity carry on
With you
The birth upon your final breath
Exhales within infinity
