Departed this Lifetime
Jamie Tierney 1991 (Cardiff)
Expansive love flames heart,
Unceasing agony engulfed since part,
Memories etched aloft it’s motte,
Impregnatable fortress would only fall from inside rot.
We swore to embrace with every lifetime,
Unparalleled lover of beauty, truly sublime,
Enchanting gaze that melts away drizzling rain,
Absorbing surrounding reality, beginning your reign.
An Empress of elegance and grace, reflection of her kingdom,
Showing kindness to all, leading by example with wisdom,
Inspiring her subject to better oneself, ruling with justice,
Never abusing her power, her legacy living on endless.
Searching for you through long journeys of lucid dreams,
Heart full of your love but physically falling apart at the seams,
It’s hard not to blame universe for taking you on adventure,
Now I must remember your love, longer than we spent together.
