Precious + oh so frightful Are the memories of a friend Precarious + oh so lovely Are the memories to which they attend Moments that have past And moved on down yonder stream Moments that would be lost If not for their memories For this they are so precious And lovely beyond compare And for this they too are frightful And precariously beyond our care For just as the stars that light the heavens So too are their memories beyond our reach We may gaze upon their shining But still the night's shadow it does creep For in the night lay darkness A darkness we wish we held alone And in the jewel of darkness So too has our friend made a home A home that holds different memories Memories all their own A home that keeps tales and sinful stories Histories never to be known And in home's dark hallways Things lay twisted And light forgets to shine As the candle light of love's first gleaming Gets lost among the cruel dreaming Of one too many unfriendly sighs

Loss of someone close is hard to bear, must the pain be so intense...though not always possible to avoid.

I like it, first poem of your I recall reading. I don't relate/understand all of it, but very well written.
