Death and the Serpentine

DEATH AND THE SERPENTINE
Death takes all that your life has ever known
to bring an end to what your body feels
in love or hate, together, or alone,
death has no mercy for one's last appeals;

death never fails to bring the solitude
that those who live in pain would surely bless,
though we don't always want it to intrude
death comes no matter what our happiness!

Death's kiss is not a thing to worry of,
for it belongs to you! No other's claim
can steal away your very greatest love,
and not one love in life is near the same!

Death's promise is removing of the mind
to other times that living fails to find.
