Love Beyond the Grave
Eyes, blind to my ghost
Your ears, to me, deafened
Your mind perceives not
The love letter I’ve spoken
The tomb, a cold chamber
Deep darkness about
I scream in the silence
Yet, you hear not my shout
Decay’s setting in
To the dust is returned
The body, ransomed
The ash, in an urn
Captive not to the curse
Yet my love; unrequit’
As you move through your life
Don’t you see my spirit?
A soul void of peace
You are prisoned and chained
“Arise, Lazarus!
Come forth from your grave”
