I have had the options of reading<\/p>\n
Of death and the deceased<\/p>\n
I found most much misleading<\/p>\n
Death is no fiction<\/p>\n
I felt only love, lived only in fantasy<\/p>\n
I was foolishly mistaken<\/p>\n
She was a flower blooming, a vigorous sea<\/p>\n
A haunted passion of the desolate<\/p>\n
Grief swayed with her, misery danced around<\/p>\n
And laughter laughed mystified<\/p>\n
She was my relief, solace found<\/p>\n
Though I suppose that was unfortunate<\/p>\n
She was a deluge of desire<\/p>\n
For even all divinity could hardly wait<\/p>\n
To claim her life and tear me apart<\/p>\n
No, time never glanced twice<\/p>\n
No skies fell<\/p>\n
They did what they did, rolled the dice<\/p>\n
And all was fine<\/p>\n
Amusing to my misery as she fed on me<\/p>\n
As grief chewed out my soul<\/p>\n
As I fought divine decree<\/p>\n
Death remained unexplainable<\/p>\n
I wondered, as autumns claimed my springs<\/p>\n
Where I had first lost reality<\/p>\n
As indefinable, death has a favorite lullaby it sings<\/p>\n
As it sang to me each night<\/p>\n
It sang and sang and I died each time<\/p>\n
And so she died, yes, she died<\/p>\n
And here I am, capable of rhyme!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
