Death

Here in the dark
Alone
With the enduring silence

And 

The warm, strong smell of rain

Soaked streets

Human flesh and soil

Death
I breathe you
Through laughter

And through the roses as of old
In your armour
Things take a shape
Unappeased by prayer and gold
I seek and watch patiently
Long before i tire

Swing me suddenly

Into the effervescence
Of youth and song
Of beaches and carnivals
Oh! Obscure
Calm and into the shade
Solitary light at the end
A gospel of the last land

Death of watching you
I reveal
My innermost self
Proved then go
To greet a companion
