An autobiographical poem inspired upon hearing the late news of an unexpected early death of someone special I was once close to..
overcame me by surprise
it rode in on a light beam
through timelessness grown thin
it inverted my insides out
emptied your image all about
for so many years it has been
since I'd seen your crescent grin
and my shadow absorbed the sorrow
and darkened colors in the ray
my soul wept for your brightness
as if your death was yesterday

Timeless Tears
when the news of your demiseovercame me by surprise
it rode in on a light beam
through timelessness grown thin
it inverted my insides out
emptied your image all about
for so many years it has been
since I'd seen your crescent grin
and my shadow absorbed the sorrow
and darkened colors in the ray
my soul wept for your brightness
as if your death was yesterday
