Photographs are blurring.
The air in here is stirring.
The doors become alluring.
Sitting in solemn silence.
My pulse is ever fading.
The walls are now degrading.
In memories, I'm wading.
Walking in solemn silence.
I see them all speaking.
I see her mother shrieking.
I see their eyes are leaking.
Standing in solemn silence.
A rose. A path. A smile.
The only, for awhile.
Two steps could be a mile.
Looking in solemn silence.
Nineteen years was brief.
I wish I caught the thief.
In her veins, it found relief
In solemn silence.
This poem is dedicated to Grace Riviere. You are deeply loved and missed.
