death, uninvited arrives
when we least expect it.
having been born into this truly
strange world we must accept
the fact that we are here
only for a while
and that
we
have
very
little
time
to make
our dreams
come true.
cry when in pain
laugh when happy
live in the

and then
move on.
death cannot be fooled
you can't hide
but until it
knocks
at your
door
you
can
live

The fragile flower
lying still
on the green grass bed
the petals
dry
wind blows softly and
it flutters gently, weakly
motionless
it remains and
at
rest
changing colour
fleeting fragrance
on the green grass bed
lying still
The fragile flower

longing eyes
distant gaze
destitute heart
craving love.
face woe-stricken
tears ceased; dry
tenacious aching
unrequited love
that splendor smile
resplendent its charm
crimson lips, petal soft
luscious love
sorrowful sighs
forlorn feelings
dilapidated dreams
loveless love

frail the flower, that she held
her hands frailer still
when touched, a grody cold
a winter morning's chill
frail and fair, her skin felt
eyes closed; asleep
at life's wicked plan
how could I not but weep?
