Lyriel

Elderberry and lavender
yet in full bloom when we first met
In your eyes such a blossom
oh this beauty I'll never forget
Sepia-coloured memories nailed
like butterflies in a neatly row
And yet preserved for the sweet day
When I hear them crying
Help me! Free me!
You left me, sweet, two legacies
A legacy of love
A heavenly father would content
Had he the offer off
You left me boundaries of pain
Capacious as the sea
Between eternity and time
Your consciousness and me
On and on, love and sorrow
like a laurel crown on your head
Have you seen that little photograph
