death finds you and me

 

i save my tears for sadder days
always at the edge of hope
we live.

i refuse to see you dying
thinning out your skin
like snakes.

i live
forever in the spring
you know, just know
age doesnt mean a thing to me.

the young are elsewhere in their dreams
the older asleep at three
times over the speed limit im free
swearing onto ditches, the irony.

Ageless

 

RUINED CASTLES
SITTING ON THE EDGE OF MOUNTAINS
ON THE CLIFF WHERE MANY COMPLETED
ARE BROKEN.

TOO MANY TEETH SPEAK OF DECIEVING
USING WORDS THAT VIBRATE MARROW.

THIS DAY, AS ALL OTHERS,
MUST END WITH US IN WAITING.

THE NIGHT LOOMS AHEAD THE CRIMSON
BRINGING WOMEN, TAKING CHILDREN.
