Over the hills
nightingales sing
to the chime of bells
ringing across
English fields.
There, the lovers lay,
admiring the beautiful
blue spring day.
Out on the blanket
they roll with laughter,
recalling old memories,
and dreaming of dreams after.
Her beauty, a treasure
one truly adored.
A life without her
he could not afford.
As the sun sets
behind the hills,
his eyes begin to
fill with tears.
He leans in,
for a kiss,
only to feel a
cold, hard cheek.
Pulling back with haste,
a cry, a scream.
He rolls with anguish
recalling same memories
without dreams after.
Dark clouds appear,
her hand not near.
A rose placed
at her head, underneath.
The lovers lay,
separated from her
by six feet deep.
