Ashes

The ashes we leave
Distant memories
Glowing embers all that remain
Scattered by the breeze

I hope in death you find peace
Overcome with grief
Pray for those no longer here
Enamored deceased

Your warmth -Your heat
Lost to me now - Forevermore!
Your kiss - your caress
Was a feast - of the flesh

Dust to dust
Ashes to ashes
My soul is filled with sorrow
Dust to dust
Ash to ash
Scattered petals fall on your grave

Your face - fading now
A loss - from my memories
A broken heart - no longer whole
A broken man stands before you
