Trepidations

In my golden sunken eyes In see the future of my life Fraught with uncertainty A name without sanctity I made a world of desires. Lost along the line of fires A dreadful isolated life, Where I had so long survived The showdown begins with the start The ray of hope falling from my heart I pray for the grave which death promises to take The life that my destiny gave The endless voyage ended with despair Oscillating between hope and despair Now I sleep in complete silence A soul free from turbulence… MY MATERNAL AUNT DIED IN YR 2003 JUNE OWING TO LIVER CANCER. I LOVED HER SO MUCH AND I WILL NOT HESITATE CONFESSING THAT I LOVED HER MORE THAN MY MOM....I JUST PHRASED HER WORDS .
