"My Lord, Why?
Each time you see promise...it eludes you
Each time you find hope...it dies, before it is born
Each time you find love...it metamorphosy
..........................
"Peace,
Where are you?
I call for you...but you are deaf
I chase you...you escape
I cry for you...you scorn me
I hope for you...you deceive me
Peace,
...are you here?"
..........................
"Oh Lord, why?
Love anything and your heart will be wrung,
Give it to no one,
Wrap it carefully with little luxuries,
Lock it up in the casket of your fear.
But in that casket,
Safe, dark, and motionless,
It will surely change
For love is life
And it is for the giving
..........................
"My beloved,
You were truly loved,
But now you have disappeared,
Into that unseeing, unfeeling and silent world,
Awaiting the ultimate union of the rest of us,
Your journey of desire and fulfillment
Cruelly overtaken by another journey,
Snuffed out in one fell swoop.
Unduly, untimely and unfairly.
But one thing remains constant,
You'll never be forgotten,
And your memory will never be forsaken,
For it is now engraved in the Ultimate Love,
For to live in all our hearts...
Those who love you,
Is never to die.
Sleep peacefully, till the resurrection
You hearts of gold.

Melancholic verses but brilliantly worded!
