Epitaph

Here lies a soul in peace,
brow rife with old crease.
Had shoulders to cry upon,
when his life smiled upon.

Here lies a soul in agony,
buried inside a mahogany
Bled himself dry for his love.
she repaid without the above.

Here lies a soul in longing,
around wilted tulips, hanging.
Survived at the mercy of a promise,
but Reaper got to her with his kiss.

Here lies a soul in euphoria,
breathed his last in Korea.
Desire of the ONE fulfilled,
right when he was killed.

Here lies a soul in obscurity,
infested by maggots’ purity.
Devoted himself to a world of art,
but life overran with chaotic dart

Here lies a soul victorious,
with a cavalcade uproarious.
Enemy’s blood, his addendum,
bruised scruples, his conundrum.

Here lies my grimy soul unclaimed,
shards of desires and heart maimed.
All the world’s misery, just my whit,
and now the damn casket won't fit.
