Constructing Catacombs

Constructing Catacombs Desirous death, a submersed breath, the walls in a carious crumble Living life, a surgical serrate strife, as we stand surreal and stumble Baneful blood, a feverous flood, the temerarious towers will tumble Terranean tears, fertile fermenting fears, a famished fatalistic fungal Corpses mounting high, Angels in the sky, reuniting dead and divine Perpetual praying, love’s lost laying, as we build their sacred shrine For we question why, we deceitfully die, within the abortifacient vine Blue clouds of clay, casually chip away, as the minstrels drink their wine The new Babylon, do we belong, beyond death's door is still unknown Faith be quick, do we get to pick, a heaven or hell that we have sewn Odious obstruction, of deaths destruction, mankind comes to mourn Caught in oblivion, a denunciative delirium, and thus we are reborn.

A melancholic poem my Dear WW with such a deep meaning, culminating in the oblivion of the unknown but then hope rising it's wings out of the ashes - In a rebirth. Your choice of music is also so moving and your verbiage is impeccable. Well worthy of taking first place in the Contest - Bravo and a Fave from me...Maria - many hugs :)
