Oh Death!

Oh Death!
I fear you not
Darkness silence oblivion
I long to dance in your kingdom
of simple solitude.

Soothing lapping lullaby waves
caresstickle cacophonous coast of battered being
disturbed by whistling winds of wantdesire;
Human longing sunstream rainbow
begins my lifelong chalicequest for wombkiss heat,
tingled soulswoon, a fleeting passion waltz
bleakblack numbpain its tarnished legacy;
years lost goldcoin slaving in a collective desertdream;
searching for wisdom among forests of blackscratch symbols;
Autumn arrives blandgrey empty unsatisfied;
wrinkled withered eventually December's epilogue appears
with a message: Nothing, all For!

Oh Death!
I fear you not
Darkness silence oblivion
I long to dance in your kingdom
of simple solitude.
