When My Eyes Are Closed In Death
Posted by

Melancholy are the notes-
Of my heart's sad refrain...
"I must remain aloof, remote,
And never love again."I tell myself that freedom is-
No strings attached, nor bonds.
Yet somehow I can't help but search,
My quest goes on and on. Love? a many splendored thing?
I guess perhaps it is...
Yet please don't tell me it won't work,
For ignorance is bliss. A dreamer? Aye, I am at that-
But life devoid of dreams...
Drags on, a sullen, leaden stream,
Forever, so it seems. So let me search, and let me dream-
So long as I have breath...
Perhaps the shades will grant me peace,
When my eyes close in death.
