~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eternal Flame
Zeus' Thunderbolt rips through my heart
Or so it seems
Eternal bleeding
Eternal pain
Not a soul to dry my tears
Where for art thou
You do not answer
You cannot
My soul aches
For your comforting words
Your love
Your gentle arms
Memories are all I have of these
Death is a part of life
I have always believed
Why now do these words
Sound so hollow
Never again to be held by you
Nor my soul comforted
You are the only one
To accept me for who I was
Gave me your shoulder upon which to cry
You were always here for me
When I needed you to dry my tears
The times you would come to me
To console you
Are gone
Never again will my gentle words
Soothe your soul
Never an angry word you had to say
Even when our thoughts differed
A gentle smile was all
You had to say
You respected my beliefs
As I do yours
You listened to my words
Though you did what you
Felt you had to do
I can only hope
Your Soul is free
At peace
Elysium
That in death you found serenity
That which you always needed
Caressed only by a gentle breeze
As I grieve
I refuse to believe that
You are lost forever
I may be the only one
That knows your loving, gentle side
I finally smile
Through oceans of tears
My fears alleviate
If only a little
In time we shall meet again
And cherish each other's
Gentle embrace
As the Soul is Eternal
The flame of your love, gentleness,
Honour, integrity, compassion
Burns bright
As does your Legacy
You who are my love
My friend
My Brother
