Death and Grim
Death and Grim
I ride the winds of red and black
Look into the pale eyes that beacon
Into empty skies where it rings
The deadly grasp, I cannot escape it
Skies rain blood while vengeance sings
And though I do not answer the call
I feel the connection deep within me
See not flowers that surround my home
Only darkness of death, He and I
Blackness takes me. In emptiness we roam
Because I am shadowed by death and grim
My only hope is burned in ashen chance
Vision of Life? Just as I had hoped for
“Is my life so frayed?” I whispered once
Limited by razor fate, I hope no more
By letting go, We’re One, He and I
The only thread here to hold, I cannot
Definition and all knowing, I go
Of sweet Lilies and sage, my end does scream
Life achingly lets go. Pain no more? No!
(Read the first word of each line alone...then read the last word of each line
alone...THREE POEMS IN ONE!)
