Death

On my lips lies
the bittersweet kiss 
of death

The scent lingers
on my breath

The musty dark
taste stays in
my mouth

Ill fall down south
to halt at the gates
of Hell

I can hear 
Lucifer yell..

My name

It soothingly
tames

My fear

Of being
near

The lost souls
and 
dark angels

Of this hellish
plane

Will i attain

my

black

feathered

wings
