Looking at your dwellings
Houses and farms
Mind wonders
About the lives you live
Full of hope
Amazing skills
Then we come around
Good or bad news
Changing your views
Amending your fate
Habits you hate
Make you believe
Or devoid of faith
Bed of flowers
Mourning wreath
We live eternity
You, a moment or two
Still, that much happiness?
May we have it too!!
Reflections of a lantern
into glowing eyes
questioning origins
of known blatant lies
cause, necessity, a desire, a need
was it dark envy or truly blind greed
cave lit up, muted sounds rise
piercing long whispers, silence demise
logic was castigated, passion ran loose
soul was captured, hanging in a noose
power of persuasion, led to abuse
not long to refuse, final undisputed truth
Affection passionately shown
Shame left alone
Happiness reflected
Jealousy deflected
Pains, aches hidden
frowns get ridden
Envy deflated
Modesty inflated
Destiny reckoned
Knowledge beaconed
Lust utterly weakened
Friends tightly hugged
Experiences pursued rugged
Family immensely loved,
Lovers intimately kissed
deceased dearly missed
Life enjoyably passed
it will not last, for long
