A Life Unvarnished is a collection of poetry I have written throughout my life. It exposes the good and the bad. My failures, my regrets and the redemption I found through love. We never know how, where, or when true love finds us but when it does you feel it's strength to the core. That it was meant to be. And through this I have found an inner peace that inspires me everyday.

The Mourning

02/06/24

When the crows come down to mourn at the behest

Of this tortured poet you’ve laid to rest

Remember the tears of sorrow and happiness that poured out of my pen

For those words are my whispers of “I love you”,

I leave in the end

Soon the shadows will leave you and a new day will come

Find me in the breath of the sparrows, and in the rays of the sun

I loved you with all my heart and here, I will patiently wait

Until I feel you near me as my eternal soulmate.

Thomas Michael Pico
