Francois Bergh

where lost words come to rest in pieces…

Checkmate

These ramparts are deserted -
The battlements abandoned -
Wandering these empty halls
Are ghostly memories…

The kingdom is in shambles -
Its castle lies in ruins -
Skyward spires are no more -
The flag is gone for good…

The mighty king has fallen -
Lost along with grace -
Since his queen had vanished -
Lost without a trace…

a heart wrenching truth for so many…it was lovely writing that broke our hearts along side the one written about.
