The Death of August Derleth: July 4, 1971

The summer air hangs still.
Hawk and whippoorwill
Wing mournful down the graying skies…
Hearken to their cries!

And then the faintest breeze
Murmurs in the trees…
And at the Lonesome Place
Spirits sigh in space.

LOVE stands still , the Sun does not set in SORROW
The deep Caribbean Sea took LENORE from Me 
In a Rainbow, Her Soul lies hidden in Kaleidoscope, Coral

ALWAYS and FOREVER YOUR Liege, with LOVE…HG

A Tear scars my cheek, With no Time to Think
I watched My MOST BELOVED LENORE --  “ DIE “
Thrown Overboard, by a Boom not  tied 
                The Tears I Cried

                     To Be Continued, if YOU Like??
YOUR Liege ALWAYS and FOREVER; HG ( Harry )

The Death of August Derleth (2) (1909-1971)

Wisconsin winds are chill:
Hawk and whippoorwill
Are mourning in the skies
When their poet dies.

And at the Lonesome Place
Spirits fill the space
With whispers on the breeze
Billowing the trees.

Wisconsin winds will blow
Summers into snow,
But winds of Fame will sing
Evening in Spring.

The Flashes, YOUR About to See
Are Memories, of LENORE and Me

When I said :  “ I DO “, I meant “ I DO “
How Well I Know, YOU  Meant it “ TOO “

For , ALWAYS and FOREVER: “ MY WIFE “
For , ALWAYS and FOREVER: “ MY LIFE “

Dedicated, in LOVING Memory; To my Wife
  “ Lenore Ellen (Adams) JOHNSON “

Can You Remember;  the day YOUR Voice, Died; to my Ears
To Lose my Wife  Lenore :  on Our Wedding Day all Those Years

Reminisce : in the History of  Forever : “ The Day; the Dead, Survive “
How much more I want to “ LOVE YOU “ for that’s what Keeps me Alive

I  Know YOU Will ALWAYS LOVE Me  with All My LOVE for YOU
My Tears are unfulfilled Dreams; Crying for the Memory of my LOVE " YOU "

                                     A Dedication To Eternal LOVE
