*~A Prayer to Death's Angel~*

Oh, the other side is cold...
I hear tell.

My lover,
You are...
My favourite cage.
You are the soul that waits in Winter's wizened womb
And your Prophecy will be your tomb.

Rid me;
Of the father's blood that haunts my veins
Of the crumbling kiss of youth decaying
Of the ghosts that stand beside my bed
As I sleep.

A light, on my horizon
My sight slips off into infinity;
Where destruction and revelation meet and join, like lovers
The heavens descend, all bedraggled with stars, folds of swollen rippling billows
White
As a drowning bride.

Let the pathless ocean swallow me, swallow me whole!
Drag me down to dark Neptunian depths;
I'll pepper the hunched Necropolis with the pearls of a thousand wasted, shimmering summer days.
Burn my dreams in effigy and scatter my soul with the ashes
(Feathered footsteps
Soft and swift as a heart's red pulse
Into the night)
Naked, pale and shriven at last
Clawed raw by a screaming feline breeze
I felt the mellow golden wings of dawn unfold inside me
And make me whole at last

Alone now,
Let's lay down the ghosts of tomorrow, before ever they were born
Let spill your final tears
Death may spread its dark wings about you; may bind you with its ageless chains
But while there's love
While there's love
Life and death are only passing shadows in the eye of Infinity.

Now sit down beside me, love, we have an eternity to waste
Whoever knew tomorrow had a taste?

the quell,

But while there's love
While there's love...

Very romantic and a beautiful expression of eternal love.

You seem to be a very accomplished writer. Your poetry is so rich and meaty. The kind one can really sink there teeth into and the kind that fills one up after they've digested it. I enjoyed your descriptiveness and reading your poem very much.

God bless.

Leej and Bob - thank you both very much for the support and kind comments!

You've gone wrong! You've gone wrong in your mind-tank!
