Life wiped from the surface, to become no more. Eyes gentle and shut. Shallow breaths have all but stopped. Eyes still gentle and shut. Hands still, with no hope of moving. Eyes gentle and shut. Legs side by side each other stationary and immobile. Eyes still gentle and shut. Wine-coloured liquid pools around him. A toast to the life beyond. Eyes bolted closed, to never be opened. His eyes remain gentle and shut.
This is one of the poems taken from my Creative Writing portfolio 'Time is of the essence'
