Breathing Death

'Breathing Death'


Atavistic air of love entombed
Awake aware of fossils fumed
Dragons breath a fatal fire
Sleeping death poison for hire

Eyes wide shut awaiting dark
Restless rut as demons bark
Descending stench clouds of gore
The reaper shrouds the whore

Now trapped within I sleep
Intoxicating mortal sin I weep.



note..."whore" representing death

Maria Williams Date: 3/15/2018 8:34:00 AM A chilling end with eyes wide shut awaiting dark. Though we must take comfort that Death is only a transition to a New Life, irrespective of the persona of the grim reaper,male or female. A well thought out poem in spite of the competition restraints. All the best for it....Maria :) Login to Reply

Susan Ashley Date: 3/13/2018 8:09:00 PM Powerfully expressed Winged Warrior with deep and dark imagery of the ultimate destiny fulfilled in life.. such a chilling vibe permeates every line of your deathly gripping poem. A hellish end. So much intensity and emotion despite the contest restrictions. Funny, but I wrote and posted a poem today with the word 'fossilized' in it. What are the odds that we would both post a poem today with a version of the word 'fossil' in it? Interesting.. Warmest wishes for a win my friend! ~Susan Login to Reply
