Unearth from the muck and the darkness Straining with white eyes to see Everything that is breathing amongst thee Cold he shivers from the sudden stillness With body so frail Broken collapsing into the position he knew so well Wishing he could remember the smell Of life under the ground Breath is short and lifeless Until it deepens at times passes on Skin beautifully tainted From that which radiates from his soul His words are soft and fluid As they caress the person gently Leaving a chokehold In which the person desires to be He comes to you in passing And you look him straight in the eye And yet you see nothing moving But forever he has changed your life

The Birth and Life
Unearth from the muck and the darkness Straining with white eyes to see Everything that is breathing amongst thee Cold he shivers from the sudden stillness With body so frail Broken collapsing into the position he knew so well Wishing he could remember the smell Of life under the ground Breath is short and lifeless Until it deepens at times passes on Skin beautifully tainted From that which radiates from his soul His words are soft and fluid As they caress the person gently Leaving a chokehold In which the person desires to be He comes to you in passing And you look him straight in the eye And yet you see nothing moving But forever he has changed your life
