Sep 2017
Lavender fills the air
Whispering winds flow against your skin
roses lilt like a ballerina in the moonlight
A thought stabs its way into your mind
The tired quake flies rampant
While fluttered dreams come alive like a bountiful fetus
Growing and feening for life
You nourish every thought left of its existence
Clinging to hopes and dreams of a past forgotten
Cringe as you gather the combinations of metal
So distasteful to the cheek, yet wondrous
A taste only beasts cultivate in the sparkle of the devil’s eye
Tears flow on the crescent of your cheek
Spilling what’s left of your legacy onto the soil
Your lungs release what air they have left
Magnanimous fears fly away in spectacular awe  
In the time it takes to regret what you’ve done
Death has cloaked you in its womb for all eternity
it dances over you
Watching with a smile
As you decay
Within this stark starry night
Beneath the trees from which you born
Farewell
