Gusto

in memoriam

your racing heart wakes me
outside is respectful and gray

a call to arms - awake!
now there are two to fret

brothers pose in concern

a caesar's name
a flowing mane

long you fought
how long
we can never know
know us 
it was bravely

to love you the most
was it just?
my penance now
my (lion)heart is gone

then there were 5

as you went
you never seemed to leave
your touch 
soft,  warm, calm
so calm 
under my kiss

heaven’s rain
marked the event
soaking the dead below

your boyfriends seeking  our comfort
your girlfriend mourning alone

like them
I pace
I look
waiting for you

only your ghostly remains
are in the silence you left

a chilling thought forms 
you are trapped here 
no peace for you
as I cannot forget
time is both a
blessing and curse
it shall do 
what I will not

your memory whispers to me 
share my love
