Elegy

Life interrupted by a violent force
Without warning of its course
A sudden crash arrived too soon
Delivering a fatal swoon

Rotating lips from smile to scream
With loneliness of broken dream
Bare thoughts unable to console
Words empty to the aching soul

Grief gathers memories in sticky net
Like blindly swimming fishes in the dark
Tears fail to quench the thirsting of regret
With laughter vacant in the icy heart

Like branches intertwined in frost
Mind stiffen s to survive this loss
Heart freezes to forget this crime
Eyes spill with sticky juice of lime

Days filled with reminiscences sublime
Turn slowly into nights of empty pain
Forever mourning vestiges of time
The sky is grieving sun with icy rain
