To Eva Cassidy With Love And Regret

The devil picked you Eva, a beautiful rose, and cursed you with his seed,
In your blossomed life so sweet grew his evil deed,
Yet if he had known your soul he would have been entranced,
Then instead of causing your death, with your life he might have danced. 

A waterfall of mournful tears will forever meet the cost
Of your mortal body taken and a radiant beauty lost,
Which can be seen the whole world over in your smiling Songbird face –
An immortal image captured of Mother Nature’s nurtured grace. 

You’ve now conquered your rainbow and are now its gold
Singing mediated, harmonious tunes that were foretold
From inspirations to aspirations that hairs can attend
By all who feel and love you – an ever-increasing trend. 

Our hearts are your holy grail, and in our love your vocals bloom like flowers in Spring,
Melodic echoes of high and low pitches resonate there when you sing.
You’re in our veins Eva, permeating our whole being, a pure addiction sold
Where the high is your enchanting, celestial voice singing melodies before untold. 

The air you breathed is still with us, it now rides the gentle breeze –
Whispering through the forests you loved and surfing the waves of seas,
And wherever the breeze may wonder, or the tempestuous wind can roam,
Your voice can still be heard – from the rustling Autumn leaves to the thrashing ocean foam.

A poem I wrote years ago that I've just discovered I didn't post it.
 
Thank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.

    1. Thank you Yvonne, for your kind words. I read Eva's biography, which had me in tears with her demise from functioning life! It was a wonderful read. Glad I've got my followers pictures back! Love love, Andrew. Bye.
