Dust to dust

sorenbarrett

Love has been gutted

Tender tears hemorrhage from weary wounds

The ashes of a dream have heaven butted

Memory's rain washes the tombs

Names from marble are eroded

The sun raises on a beggars world

In an eternal spring the queen of hearts is corroded

Out of a glass house a stone is hurled

Silently smashing the mirrors of time

Under a locked jaw the tongue does wilt

Prosecuted for a nonexistent crime

From broken glass raises the dust of guilt

      My dear friend, powerful words that hit their mark. How often have I thought "If only I could go back". I can only regret what might have been, when death closes the door forever. Wonderful verse that touches such sadness.
