John Lawless Poet Free verse

In Grimaced Glee

You wait
In chortled glee
Time’s ticking toll
Sharpening itself
‘neath your dark robe

And I
Poor fool
Fear not your sting
As naught is left
But tatters
Of past now’s

And you
Life’s dark companion
Have counted every step
Held sway
Lest I falter
Seasoned my errors
With adrenal angst

I wait
In grimaced glee
Enshrouded
In an endless
Thinning veil
Awaiting
