Lady May

Lady May.

Whats the matter
Lady May?...
Did all of your
Daughters run away?
into the Cities with
suitors, and Fools,
who hope to wed
someday?

Whatever happened
to the Light in your Eyes?
That burned like Stars
on a Summer Night.
Was it extinguished
by more Bitter Truths?

(like perhaps the
Coming of Demise.)

Do the Flowers
now seem Scentless
in your State of
Reminiscence?,..
as you toss and turn
(more breathless)
Watching Shadows
Paint the Wall?!!
Or do you find it
safer not to View
 their Art at all?

It seems my sweet,
that in all of
your sorrow,..
Time for you
is Misery Borrowed,
from an Ominous
Script of tortured Souls!

(those shattered
lives
with Hearts so
broken they could
not hope to be whole.)



Either way Cry
not my Lady May,...
for yourself, or
those who Fade Away!

I'm sure
Your daughters and their
foolish husbands are
sure to return someday..

If only but to refresh the
Roses

that Angels
placed Upon Your Grave!!!

(to immortalize
Your Name.)
