All that remains: here in my afterlife as a 'mainstream' blogger, with what little I know.

Manifestation of Self-doubt...a poem
Something I wrote after watching a music video that I am not going to edit, just yet…




Life, if not Love
By BKCompton

I reach to touch your hand
but it's already gone
I heard your song

Another thud against our window
Unmoved, I know
it's another sparrow
Couldn't pass through here
And will it die?
I don't even know

Your song ended
You were never near
I love, I fear

Merciless, death claims another
Dead in our bushes
or on the doorstep
to be swept aside
when I go out
to search for you again

Why do I fear I've lost
without ever trying
Somewhere you're crying

Autumn came while you sang
Clinging, tender leaves
wet from rain
want to remind me
of loss and all the days
you were alive

Why don't I cry anymore?
Somewhere you hide
I'm dead inside

I only hope the mindless sparrow lives
If not for me,
then for you.
