He is a dead man walking
Therefore he is

B. R. Gowani


He basked in that face

Therefore he was

He lacks that bliss

Therefore he is


He cherished the naughtiness

Therefore he was

He misses those chords

Therefore he is


He relished the playful eyes

Therefore he was

He lost that vision

Therefore he is


He treasured the mischief

Therefore he was

He feels the deadly silence

Therefore he is


He loved the coquetry

Therefore he was

He misses that dalliance

Therefore he is


He smelled the love

Therefore he was

He lacks the life-essence

Therefore he is


He felt the glow

Therefore he was

He senses the cold

Therefore he is


He savored the closeness

Therefore he was

He misses the nearness

Therefore he is


He teased and harassed

Therefore he was

He has tears and sighs

Therefore he is


He was blessed with joy

Therefore he was

He is cursed with pain

Therefore he is


He saw the real world

Therefore he was

He lacks the paradise

Therefore he is


He was the prophet

Therefore he was

He lost the Goddess

Therefore he is


He had the Persephone

Therefore he was

He is drowned in autumn

Therefore he is


He had the companion

Therefore he was

He is all alone

Therefore he is


He was with the heavens

Therefore he was

He is in hell

Therefore he is


He was full of life

Therefore he was

He is just breathing

Therefore he is


He was an agile paramour

Therefore he was

He is a dead man walking

Therefore he is
