Dying Breath
Alone within a mental silence
a tearful memoir
etched upon a face
Celestial wings surrounding
Eternal imagery
Displayed upon the reaper’s mantelpiece
Muted with words
Mumbling a fearful thought
The opening of a lifetime note
Disguised drowning in crimson
The last supper from your bleeding throat
A journal of devils
Appraisals from your earthly bound sins
Mischievous orbs shall gather
The roads are paved in black
Strangulated whispers they call
The welcoming from your dying last breath
