Burial

 

Cemetery
Funeral
Burial
Of the Mind
Life's
Silent strife
Solemn denial
Or bitter reprisal
Monuments to memories in the Souls landscape
Sad flowers paid to lost loves
And homage to unrequited ones
Crosses erected to dead dreams
Mausoleums of half lived lives
Petitions for another life
To a god who seldom hears?
Because he is so near
Somewhere beyond the ear
Blinded by Self hate
Unable to hear life's chorus
Heaven's hymn earth bound
Listening only to the whistle
Of hell's larceny
Dark prosody of logic
Beckoning the Soul to plunge
Into the cold abyss of endless reduction
Regardless of Season
