<strong>BEYOND</strong> <strong>THE</strong> <strong>VERSE</strong><br />

HOPE'S EPITAPH<br />

The warm memories that began<br />

On a sweet November night,<br />

Lay rested on the mount of tonight.<br />

While I plant a creeper as an epitaph ,<br />

I sense a weak wriggle inside.<br />

As the pounding hope reaches<br />

To pull the earth apart,<br />

It was but just the humming of<br />

the creature ribbed inside<br />

The untold words of silence spoken<br />

from a far off land,<br />

Heard louder than those uttered with a<br />

Bleeding heart in hand.<br />

As the palms pat the earth in place,<br />

The creeper sets ready to take shape.<br />

Twirl around the entire mound with your vines,<br />

Cloak the cache that lay under your mine.<br />

And when you flower after two waxing moons,<br />

I wish it's emphatic silence<br />

Would grant me a boon.<br />

I would ask it ,<br />

The creeper on the epitaph as it spreads ,<br />

To teach me the craft of the trade of words<br />

For in the bungle of expression and fortitude,<br />

here lays quelled<br />

An entire history of brave certitude.<br />
