This is the first in the collection. It will have new poetry after the older one. Hope you enjoy it.
Life unlike Death
The garden lies in disarray,
Untouched by your beauty,
For so long now I have been dead,
Even though it is you that lies beneath,
The Orchid at the end of the cracked path,
The flower you loved so much,
Now dried, withered and decomposing,
Like the flower I loved so much,
My strength could not heal your weakness,
It vexes me so that I was so useless,
That place alone soothed your soul,
It claimed you in the end I know that now,
You wrote to me,
Words of life from your dead hand,
Unchanging, undying love in my heart,
The Orchid revived,
Listen for my footsteps in the silence of that town,
Look for my shadow in the endless fog,
I know that you wait for me,
In our special place,
No impostor could replace you,
Your beauty shimmering from under the water,
Your breath still haunts me in bed,
I gave up hope too easily,
My mind is in torment,
Where do you wait for me?
I have seen so much pain,
I come to save you from yourself,
Wait for me my love,
I will be there,
Though monsters tear at my body and mind,
Wherever your spirit is I will follow quickly behind.
