Tribute to my sister
Tribute to my late sister
Like a dove Being chased by dark you left so speedily
As if you'd heard the golden horn to the gates of heaven you marched so briskly
Torn ,torn ,torn were our hearts ,still but never shred as compared to your flesh when the hot metal pierced from surface rushing the soul out like it owed rent
In my mind you reside free of charge yet that brings sombre to my being but forget you I never will
As I think of you still
I have many dull days for my shine was taken away day five of the sixth month you left in a scurry by human act
Pang ,Pang ,Pang,Pang , Pang,
I felt your pain while home & you ,you were alone sorry,sorry that I can't bring you home
to ease your pain & abort my rage
New page they say , but ...what's there to write when the pen too is at it's end this is sad oh God this is sad!
Rest ,rest ,rest I say for that winter's day brought agony upon the Hen
For she doesn't know when to reach the end of her teary days but so am I as I cared
I'm scared,scared that I don't know how to escort the strain ,out of my body & out of my brain but so is the Hen , she's afraid that she too has to wait for her name to be yelled for her to see you once again & to hold your hand but until we meet again though this is sad it's just Tribute to my sister will she ever know what I said ?
