No Longer, No More

 

Life beyond this moment is no longer mine

Days not torrent, The thick sun resigns

Seasons have gelled & years decay

Silent eyes have fallen prey

 Cadaver russet it no more bleats

Hearts stoned no longer beats

 

No longer spirits are stirred by tears

No more demises cause any fears

Smiles and laughter no more swarm

Cuddles & touches aren’t any warm

Mute speech, the conscience whines

Grey clouds no longer shine

 

Through parched lips is conscience sold

Egos flushed, silent whispers behold

I am cold to warm embraces

Raised eyes, cause no phrases

Waxed eyes are now dumb and sore

Rains pour no longer, no more.

 

Fallen shoulders and fallen crest

Wander about to steal some rest

Blisters and bruises fail to heal

Nails and feathers no more feel

Parched lands await heavens to pour

Alive am I? No longer, no More…!
