Martha My Dear Poem by Kevin Patrick

Martha my dear I'm sorry to hear
The bittersweet end of your nations song
once there were legions of delicate wings
And a choir of millions in a vaulted horizon
They lay retired performing a solemn requiem
Embodied in you the guardian of sorrow

A legend in flesh from the moment of birth
Just a moving epitaph and a myth that could breath
Convicted souvinir in a gilded cage for tourist
For the carrions desert, for holiday recollections
Destined to reside as a bittersweet lesson
What you never know to cherish or take refuge in

Is gone before the tone of midnight strock

Martha never heard the calls of spring
Or bathe in the rays of the summertime parade
She reigned as a queen to an endless winter
Entomed on a thrown where the sun casts no warmth
Wings impoverished to the chains of fates visitation
Harvested and reaped, bid her grand destination

Martha my dear I'm sorry you were lifes ghost
A speck of dust on the atmospheric crust
Navigating alone on a distant azure highway
Without contemplation of a sibling revalry
Or the tender caress of a symmetrical companion
Forever the world as a hollow mausoleum

I wounder if she dreamed for a saviour
For a phoenix's arrival for a fairytale solution
To pinion its feathers and enfold consolation
To sacrifice tears that shed all her fears
Untying the knot that history had wrought
The unwanted honour of eve to extinction

Martha my dear Im sorry that your gone
Passed without hope of dawns lost rays
Before you emerged from your mothers womb
Life never came to you who came to soon
Let there be a light in a elysium kingdom
Far away in the sight of eternal freedom

You were lost but found in the peace of dreams
So sleep now in the land of the sandmans garden
Where you can soar as a Icarious without fear in the sun
Or the albatross wreathed as the mariners cross
Free from the strings as the reapers paramour
Away in sunlight that never drifts into midnights call

Play forever in the moment of eternal everlasting
Martha my dear, mans painful darling lesson
