Ah, Life! Sonnet Vi

Ah, Life! VI My Life, we both know I was born insane to love so much the face of coming Death, but He has sat with me when self-contained and chantingly he counted out my breaths. I cannot dine when hunger’s always sour and gorge myself on someone else’s heart, this time I’ll ride behind the darkest hour and bid the burdens of my mind depart. Fool Life, I'm sure you'll find a new someone to treat you as a greater, blessed prize than I who've never sponsored laughter’s son and scorned the forked lights touching, night-paused eyes. Ah, Life, I never loved you from the start and yet you stalk my heavy, haunted heart!
