The inevitable

S_zot,photosight.ru

All around me
pervades the sense
of decay, wear and tear
and uncaring, oblivious
to passage of time
I wonder if
I too am part
of this allencompassing
drama of denial:
everything's fine,
just the way it ought to be.
I know there are
things that
you can never
run away from.
The inevitable
slow death
takes over.
 

..for the Bell to toll...

Image by Iksodas, Model - Lela Rae

As I wait for the bell to toll

I reminisce all through my life

I dance to and fro

as never ever before

I sit at the pedestal of Death

no matter how hard I pray

it will happen, come what may

I had spoken never in jest

-take my life if that's best

ultimately that did happen

you asked for my life in a way

tough to balance myself in two boats

standing still on dancing moats

one means life the other death

but why for me its the last breath
