When The Bell Tolls

They fell upon a midnight oil;
A gold mine; heart and soul.
They joined a passion so deepest heart,
Until the iridescent bell rung and toll.

They sang their song; each other's words,
Actions blessed in unity.
They embraced their emotions and with their mouths,
Promised love for eternity.

As time went on, the lover's held,
Sweet embraces o'er years.
Love and peace sank in their hearts,
Eyes so filled with tears.

Beneath the blackened yet starlit sky,
They whispered nothings so pure.
They overcast a wistful song,
Each others overture.

Deathly banishment came and sought,
Unwilling volunteers.
One last embrace, one frightened word,
Wished living of long years.

Pain and grief tore the heart,
Heaven shed its tear.
Whispering sweet nothings to,
A lover, yet gone, still here.

Alone, afraid, cold to the bone,
Hardened by one death.
Still seeks calm in times of trial,
On a lover, which dying wreath.
