Eclipse
Eclipse
Be gone! Be gone! Foul evil beast;
This is not my place of reckoning.
The guardians of light stand at my side
And death is not yet beckoning.
In foulest stench, I see you drenched,
In blood; I see you dripping.
But I am not for the taking yet;
I am still for the living.
Come back in time, of a dying future.
The time is not now; we are alive in this state.
In time you can take me to meet your master;
But now is my time to live, so leave this place!
Do not hover nearby hoping for easy pickings;
This body still stands and is not for the giving.
You are misguided, mistimed and mislead;
Off with your head, if you expect to take me away from this blessing.
The darkness does not haunt me, as you would wish;
So be gone foul beast! Back to your bottomless pit.
My soul is still mine and you are out of your mind,
If you think I will stop suddenly;
Sooner than my time.
You are not my eclipse.
