Will I not stay a
Moment without
Mourning, and craving
...

I have lingered long in doubt,
And in darkness, Whispering to
The walls caged around me in
Chain,
...

O soul survivors,
Listen to the voice
Of a plagued poet,
For the days of my prime,

Victims, crying beneath their

It has been established,
And accomplished,
The little lamb finally

Silence,

This were the poetry of
A broken page,

Student to pour out my
Poems on the podium and

And sweetest day,
That silent night

At the eye closure of
the skies it comes
one brief moment, the eyes open
and here it comes again

Thoughts and tents of
My heart in torture,

With sad, and sighing

A black day for
a dark man, was
the last of a poet,
yet in his agony
