    The Queen of Silences

A cruel-Winter wind
stirs the chill morning mist
in a thousand whispers,
and mixes withered leaves
with dead roses
on the doorstep,
under dark black clouds
glowering by legions
in cadent march across
the hills and valleys
of our fears.

I remember her
I remember her
as Lady of the silences
queen of love unsatisfied,
  love forgotten
in her vast, lost land
  of no return
where all love ends
without reason
and I  must wander
  for eternity.

for those whom "life and love" have eluded ... all is 'haunting' ...
