"Words are not for death, only what we imagine it to be."

Darkness merrily looms forever over our heads

a fog of the soul evermore

Death so dark to have a life of your own?

Will i stay me once I pass through thee? 

do you hide in your velvety black robes the answers I seek

or do you use questions like sirens sing to sailors

but nay, they are your servents in the end.

What do you hide from me! Why won't you let me see!

Why must you taunt and tease

I DEFY you Death with my every BREATH!

When my body dies and my soul roams free

we shall tangle and we shall see

if I can wrest answers from thee

but maybe by then we will be fast friends

and you will help my faulty steps and whisper in my ear

words so very clear

but only when it is time for me to hear

Yeats writes that man created death 'Nor dread nor hope attend A dying animal; A man awaits his end Dreading and hoping all' For a dark subject i found your delivery, thankfully, light + Report this comment
