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!)
