The Next Of Kin

My lips are now just silent,
But eyes speak the pain.
I wish you'd come once,
And wipe tears of rain.

These crystals flowing from eyes,
vapoured up and dried;
Until there were no tears,
But empty eyes still cried.

I still wonder where you are,
And wonder if I can chase,
From the smoke of your sillage
Still blowing on my face.

Are you a tiny drop of dew?
Or a twinkling bright star;
Are you there on lushy greens,
Or a thousand miles afar.

Are you the ashes beneath?
Or a spirit up above;
The flames of a burning desire,
Or a free snow dove.

But I know you won't like,
If I mourn and cry;
I know you are somewhere,
In a heaven beyond sky.

I am the next of kin, and
Death can't do us apart;
For you just left the world, but
still live in my heart.

This poem is the most sensitive and subtle work of mine that comes directly from the heart. There were a lot of overwhelming emotions that I've tried to portray through my words.
