He buried
In the rolling hills of his birth place
The one that was his home
His life and his will to live
He thought it to the now ever dark sunrise
To keep his beloved warm
And to keep her in its frail light
That now never lit his day
But was shining brightly
Only to the rest of the world
And for that he was grateful.
He kissed
In his loneliness, and memory
Gently, and lovingly the earth
That he knew she walked on
He carefully, slowly touched the grass
That surrounded the lonely grave
That reserved this entire land
For her big soul and silent embracing heart
Which trapped him even after its last beat
Taking him with it into enclosed silence.
He prayed
On and to this ground
Pleaded it to keep her safe
To embrace her as she had embraced it
When, still warm, and in his arms, on these lively grasses
They sat and dreamed together
Of what may grow on that very place.
He prayed to be able to bear
The loss of those dreams,
Seeing that they came true without him wanting them to
And he prayed for his heart ache
To never stop, but increase
Without limit, to scar him and his memory
With her undying love.
Forever.

a wondrous poem that sparkles like stars in its atmospheric sorrow, ah love, yes, eventually it causes pain, the heart will ache if love is taken, such is the way of the world though, i like the imagery here of the man sighing and waiting to see what grows from his love's grave.

Dark and yet romantic - a very clever piece if you can combine the two together, which you have managed to do very well.
The wording is perfect and fits exactly. I loved reading this piece.
