~ Tragedy ~



stoic and gray
slowly it stayed
made this his home
uncurling, unfurled
surreptitiously it lay
marking its own
territory and death
casually it came
to claim in sleep
all that i owned.

it has been a while
since Life lived here
its now a dwelling
of Devils and Banes
it has been a while
since Smiles slept here
its now a memory for
tears and stains.

Light up the charred candles
unleash the prayers
exhaust the archives
of goodwill and dares
challenge the Lord
bask in forgiveness
reclaim a final win
and survive this stillness.
