Useless is inner-light
if it can't be gathered,
as is water in the air
which can't be drank,

from afar
an angel
softly weeps

of baby pink carnations

to sail
a dying craft
its keel
and rudder
gone
laying waste in

the need

Obviously torn apart
Cold, lonely, and bleeding
Begging and pleading
Screaming and crying
Slowly dying

Nightingales Cry Too

As soon as seeing the roses 
cut and bound in sheaves,
Nightingales began to sing in pains
through the dying rose leaves

Shrivelled day,
Mottled charred desires,
Still pursuits,
Dying hope,
Shadowed duty engagement,
We fall and rise still.

driven down in dying weeds

all millions of miles apart
all so lonely
trying to outshine others
but dying in the process

People 
Fearing to do tests 
Corona apart 
Fearing of positive not a part 
Dying apart 
Something firing 
In their hearts

Like a dying rose.
It is beautiful 
But full of sorrow.
Life is beautiful
But death
Death is gorgeous.
