She Being Death

Death latch’s by my side,
Like a hollow goddess.
Rendering my speech,
Speechless.


Death caresses my hearts wounds,
Undoing the dusk chains,
And intertwining it, in jade thorns.

She, death moves in closer,
And move I do to.
Only to stare each other in the eye.

She being death sees my joy,
I being her love see her pain.
Mysteries were born and solved in that moment.

For I never knew deaths tarred lip,
Could taste so sweet.
