Black Rose Ballet
wistful
whimpers
a wish upon a star---
bygone dreams
rapture
when first we met
sunrise sunset reset
rainbows moonbeams and starry nights
exaltation
lovers
joined together
karmic intimacy
one mind one skin---spirits within
best friends
oblivious
to the fleeting fingers
of time
we danced
for decades
under the stars
to the primal beat
of nature’s drums
...until that fateful
night
when death embraced
you in iTs arms
leaving me bereft
and unable ever again
to dance along the
edges of the world
...for without you
along beside me
I would only trip and
fall headlong into the abyss
I anxiously await death---
to experience... joy... wonder
... infinity... together
but
until that time
I cover myself in your ashes
immersed in memories
wistful whimpers
a wish upon a star---
bygone dreams...
