Death
I stared her down in the arms of a stranger
Collected, calm, fascinated and fearful
Once where my child dared to tread
Dared to be steady and faltered
Mixing thoughts, mixing moods, mixing tracks in the backdrop of surrealistic
Danger destroying my ego
Anger destroying my cause
What pause shall we take this day?
Excellent ideas and fascinating proposals
Intertwined
Entertwined
Entertained
Contained and rectified
Clarified
I remember to breathe
I recall taking steps backwards
A shadow across my face
Eyes penetratingly defiant
Staring
Captivated and aware
Staring at that ugly, cold-hearted bitch of a universe
Daring it to end what it never had
Why can I mind-fuck with Death
Her lustful guise drips from the senses
I can smell the gunpowder plot
Taste the bounty-driven rage
I hear my heart undulating the beat of the earth
I see a reality I never truly understood
What do I have to show for this?
Bliss?!
Ha. So easy, yet so distasteful all the same.
Blame games were never my strong suit
So I took responsibility
Swept the tide out to sea
Replaced the fears with curious whims
And danced with Death’s curtain in the deserted darkness of my soul.
