Morning Dove
A fawn in a meadow
Flew forth I to admire
Behold 'twas a serpent
Springing forth from the briar!
Now I'm reclaiming all
A most heart-felt desire
The wishes and blessings
You have stomped in the mire

Healing
Grief crushed
Failed my weakened frame.
Tears poised in
Broken eyes
The mourners face became
At one with mine on me.
Minds vista shone:
Basked in younger days,
An angel lived as
Loving wife
Blossomed in bouquets
Ordained for us to be.
Fortitude of memory:
We stood
As once a mighty pillar,
Eroding emery
Granite underlay our public soul.
Time annealed
Staying grief
Through my belief:
Again your face Id see.

Closure
You saw in my head a crevice
Gushing
Oozing
Sluicing all
You scanned my closing eyes
Entertained by shows of ancient memories
Dust-ridden, some forbidden
You heard a thudding
Arrhythmic chest
But weakening
Waning
Ribs worn, giving,
To then resign
You caught an evanescing soul
Life-anaemic
Blue-tinge upon a fringe
Vignette for ebbing life.
Vitality leaks leaks vitality
Lungs breathing breathing lungs
Collapsing
Folding
City-blackened bellows
You watched me
Kissing out byes
Kissing on death;
Wishing in cries;
Wishing not Seth
To pass on travels upward
But gentler gods
Show me worthy
You witnessed a passing
You stared at closure
Blessed it.
