Deaths Tears
I stood at the door on twilights eve For an instant I turned, my head looking back I staggered at the knowledge His hesitation was clear They rocked the way in which we stood Our eyes did linger upon each other
Julie
Looking at deaths
face
His eyes dark and brooding
Sorrow etched in lines
Mapped
his face
Realizing the
countless times
I'd stood and greeted him
Differant ways in other
lives
By my hand or anothers
From young to old, from disease and
war
And felt deaths hand comfort me
I
looked upon him again
My hand reached to trace
His beloved face
As he bent his shadowed head
I closed
my eyes
As his lips touched mine
And felt his tears fall upon
me
The world slipped
And
the stars tipped
As his tears continued to fall
And he released me
to the other side
As he faded to my view
And
I was left
My hands cupped together
Holding deaths tears
To
life
