UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCE

Unforeseen circumstance
By james a. galgano

Did I hear you drown in your one-boat town miles from nearest sea?
Or was I mistaken to have read they found you dead without one memory?
Of your dear life and unmarried wife who all the same divorced you twice
For all your time unspent together found written forever as one in unread poetry
Which had no rhyme or reason to declare it was more than perfunctory lies?
Spread like wildfire upon an endless field of grain as far as the eye can see
Though never seen or shed from tearless eyes which forever cried from bed.
Your lifeless body found with smile upon face where scent of seawater was traced.
Smelling of seaweed and brine fermenting still over vast expanse of misspent time
Leading untrue detectives to scene of crime where your love discovered with clues
Aroused long list of motives to your demise in bed of tears your drowning pool
Which made one at last realize you had been left for lost mere broken-hearted fool?
Who had given his heart to love one who cared little more than he sacrificed imbued?
In paled colors which no longer reflect your lifeless carcass within coffin viewed
Within funeral parlor of unimagined obituary never read by loved ones who cared
No there is nothing which remains do justify any disdain for your love never spared.
Such endless list of deception which led you to take your worthy life into your hands.
Misbegotten obviously forgotten a victim of circumstance drowned far from land.
