Things No One Ever Said…

It was a cold dark night…
Sat he near the fire place…
A picture of a girl there was…
Held it with tears on his face…

Nurtured as if a companion-
A tree grew beside his home…
Moments under that shade…
Said never was he so alone…

A story of a man this is…
31 years living all alone…
That night came someone…
An angel walking to his home…

He asked him then…
If there was any last wish…
A droplet of tear fell when…
He looked at god & said this…

“Bury me with your heart…
Not with hands when I am dead…
I wish you read me a letter then
…Things no one ever said…”

The angel looked at god &…
Moments later killed him dearly…
His eyes spoke a wish remained…
As if unfulfilled unknowingly…

His heart beats gave up &…
On the floor he lay all dead…
Wanted someone to wipe a tear…
Something he never said…

The angel walked across…
To a picture kept nearby…
& underneath a letter stood…
Opened He with a sigh…

Buried him in that shade…
As if given to someone else…
Beside his grave the angel sat…
As if a story he wanted to tell…

...
What you read to the dead sometimes…
…becomes...a promise to his soul…
...

The letter-

“A good human being you were…
Your smile was so lovely…
Your eyes were beautiful when…
They dreamt her in your sleep…

You gave her to someone…
But let me tell you this…
He’d love her more than you…
He’d wake her with a kiss…

It’s a promise from god…
Just as you then prayed…
He’ll hold her hands as if…
Journey of two lovers made…

You were born ugly but…
Somewhere beauty was too…
Death wouldn’t be early then…
If all your prayers came true…

After all this while,
With tears you have plead…
God send me here to you,
For things no one ever said…

As if waiting for her,
Your last tear dreamt her touch…
Many years to come now &…
She may love you as much…

There was no one ever…
Who wiped this falling tear…
The last one kissed your breath…
& died in your arms here…

The reason you were buried…
With your hands folded together…
Is because her picture lies still…
Amidst your broken prayer…

The toys you left behind…
Are kept so safe with me…
When…they ever…ask…for you…
I’ll bring…them here…unknowingly…”

…
It was now the angel in tears…
They came as the letter He read…
his grave watched so beautifully as…
Things they were no one ever said…
…

“If god ever fails…
Like you did as her lover…
I promise to keep her happy…
Like you plead in your prayer…

You love her still I know but…
Gave her to someone to wed…
Your promises lie broken with me…
For things they were...no one ever said…

Your wedding ring for her…
I have it buried beside you…
If she ever comes here someday…
Your dreams will come true…

It is time to go now…
I’m leaving some roses behind…
With a hope she’ll come one day &…
Search you in fossils left behind…”

As if a promise made to his grave…
The angel spoke to the dead…
The letter asked him to do those things…
Things no one ever said…

The death angel whispered…

“Your eyes closed look…as if…
You waited for someone…
You died with a belief as if…
You knew she would come…

The pages of your life…
ever touched by her…
still remain the only pages
you ever had…”

He left on a journey then…
To find that girl he knew…
& tell her a man has died far away…
That his love remained so very true…
