A poem of mourning

Once, the cuboid closes

I’ll stand alone

just holding roses.

---

The misty air, of fresh soil’s scent

a patch of grass

the crow’s descent.

---

A shadow as wide, as light can travel

feels like a sharp calamus

shot as an arrow.

---

Salty moisture, downs my lips

as painful as the calluses

on my finger tips.

---

As the crowds depart, with bleeding hearts

I think of me

my change of heart.

---

My moisture mask, turns into air

my lips wake up

so does despair.

---

Alone at last, my soul proclaims

and I start dancing

without Loraine.

---

Fragrant flower, you fill the air

I am not alone

I sense you there.

---

Forever!
