Gone but never forgotten

 While in  his warm embrace,

 Her spirit took its final  flight,

As death's cold hand stole her breath

Leaving  him numb.

He held her tight, bereft of words or might,

Her silent form was now still,

Her swansong now strummed.

Their love, a tale inscribed in stars above,

Now fades to whispered echoes in the night.

He clings to memories, his anchor, his love,

In shadows deep, where dreams take flight.

Though parted now, their souls forever bound,

In heart's embrace, they dance in realms unseen.

He finds her presence in each sight and sound,

In every fleeting moment, still serene.

Though she departed, 

never to return,

Her essence in his arms will ever burn.

He knows she's near,

 though gone from mortal sight,

In heart's embrace, their souls forever twine.

Through darkness, she remains his guiding light,

In every moment, love's pure essence shines.
