Oh hope! Thou secreted peace
Or cavernous anguish
Is there no nomadic course of elegance
That leads away from thee
No circuit sage of all the path
Descried by cunning men
To cringe thee of thy sacred prey
Advancing to thy den
So give me back to death
The death I never feared
Except that it deprived of thee
and now, by life deprived
in my own grave I breathe
and estimate its size
Its size is all that Hell can guess
and all that Heaven was
Still own thee
Still thou art
What surgeons call alive
Though slipping -- slipping I perceive
The destiny of my destined dreams

Bhuwan...the picture broke my heart...the poem brought tears..fantastic writing friend...floria
..the words..the picture..the heart..the soul...all become entwined in the piercing reality that is before us continually..indeed the world does not see that which is engulfed in pain,agony and lovelessness..my heart leaps for joy knowing that ONE young man loves enough to write this most heartwrenching piece..ty Bhuwan and bless you!!!
This hurts very deeply. Brilliantly done. Just wish the subject wasn't there to be written about. But glad people like you still keep the forgotten ones alive in people's minds.
Bhuwan, this is stunningly sad. The photo was more than enough to break one's heart, then the words just scattered the pieces on the wind. Well written. Lisa
