Mozart
by me

As the black carriage disappeared into the rainy mist,
A sorrow filled me with utter emptiness.
That one soul would leave more than mere mortals,
But music that could move the gods themselves.
It would not be lost-no,such sheer Brillance could not be forgotten.

Untitled
by me

A cool breeze caresses my skin as I look into the blue endless sky
And I wonder,how long will this last?
I take a deep breath of a chill night air as I watch the full white brilliance of the moon and I wonder,how much longer will I see that magnificent globe of light?
A thrill passes through me as I look at his face and long for his body and I wonder,how long will I feel this?
One morning I am unable to rise,a pain so deep captures me and I wonder,how long can I endure this?
The laughter of a child breaks through the Sunday heat and I wonder,how long will happiness surround him?
A beautiful array of flowers,a rainbow of colors,fill my sight and I think,will I be able to see them another day?
The glorious miracle of this world assaults me,in a decaying building,in a bird signaling the beginning of spring,in a person walking,rushing down the street.
In my mind a loud silence fills my head,obliterating all thought.
I want this forever.
To feel,
to see,
to experience,
to love.......
life.
The realization of the reality is,I am dying,and the wonderous knowledge of this universe will never be mine.
