“When the curtain drops, should we not applaud” ~ by poet age wrinkles the face of youth and dulls its eyes~ in no time, Death is at my door a shadow of a shadow... my ears pretend not to hear His approach gasping in ragged breaths ~ His nails scraping against old bones Death drinks my tears

This is such an engaging write, Emile. Far beyond the scope of most who call themselves a poet.
