He sits quietly, sickly glow of monitor, casting face in death's radiance, wondering how he will survive. Her death was well deserved and long time in coming, evil demon of lust and greed, who passing from this coil, will give life to this heart. He places fingers on keys, to begin his life anew, painting portraits in rhyme, sculpting statues in prose. the very life's blood again, that once made him a man, but which she stole violently. He taps the squares of the muse, watching verse flow before him, feeling the power of creation, in his abiltiy to pen joy. Somewhere, in labrynth of thought, he senses her soul stir, the soul of doubt and fear, the soul of the mute, the numb. He feels her seethe deep, weak, not quite as dead, as he had prayed for. He races with poem, trying to put down each line, 'cause he understands, with the certainty of the dead, that she will come back to him. for like sorrow, and the misty ocean, all things shall return.

Nothingness begats nothing. A poem based on the loss of a love that never was, reflects the reality of a pain that never existed. Hey wait... I started to make a reply and now I think I've started a new poem! Be back in a second..... P.S. IDNVFT (I Did Not Vote For This)  Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn.
