You have died countless times

Yet only to commit more crimes

In your stead, I would be the one grieving

A tapestry of life you have been weaving

Listen as I sing another ineffable lyric

For your actions had been nothing but pyrrhic

Through your ephemeral thoughts and dreams

All I see were disasters in incomplete seams

May you be no longer the darkness that binds me

Rather a penumbra exists only to preserve duality

A shadow to follow my unfathomable lead

Yet without you, I will always be a moiety

Let eloquence be your deadliest sin

Burying you alive in a sea of grin

Now, ravel your murmurous regrets

Because this smile is as furtive as it gets

Rest, brother, to your eternal slumber

More thoughts are here to outnumber

Let this demure soul be victorious

And your ethereal mind be diaphanous

Good night I say with deep condolence

My desultory days shall see dawn anew

The scintillating lights be chatoyant

A halcyon self shall pull through

one is all, all is one,
