How it feels like, when some beloved one leaves the green world...

Her death, her departure

Sitting by the side of my beloved,
I weep, tears of blood I shed,
On her lifeless bosom, in eternal sleep she be...

Her limbs unable to embrace me more,
I painfully gaze upon death's dark door
Through which she went forever away from me...

Like the wintry snow, she's serene and still,
Rosy lips lacking smiles that could kill
Deepest of my worries, my sharpest pain...

My tears fall on her cheeks, drop by drop,
Won't she anymore, with her kisses, stop
My cries, my tears, my sorrow again?

Winters of death come and end,
As springs's fair winds arise and lend
Life to the lifeless trees everywhere on earth..

But no winds of spring can bring her back,
I sigh, with my strength's evident lack,
I wait for death to stop my heart...

Thanks, me neither. :) But to be honest, we all must die.

Nice poem, good language use. The ryhming scheme links the stanzas well, and its clear people enjoy it.
If I can make a couple of minor observations:-
a. In the second line, tears of blood doesn’t make sense - one could say you were just trying to find a word to fill the void. There is no metaphorical link, nor is there a physical injury discussed.
b. The last two stanzas break away from the rhyming scheme, which is a bit of a shame as the rest is so consistent (referencing heart and earth.

Hope you don't mind the critique - after all, without critiques we can't improve.

Certainly, thanks for your time in reading my poem and suggesting further improvements. You're very right, about critique, and it's nice to know how a fellow poet feels about what I manage to write.

Thanks.
