Describe Death. The entity, I mean. And please tag me so I can find your entry!
Broken Howls
She lies on silken throne,
a white gem against black night,
a lifeless shadow on my wall
as I sift eyes through scattered bones.
A roadblock of time has elapsed,
lingering void handcuffs my soul,
faded life lost in eternal bloom,
black ice runs cold through veins.
Dark wolf mourns in broken howls,
silhouettes where life once blossomed,
perfume dissipates into untouched air.
Dittoed clouds lose their silver lining,
black rocks of death signal twilight
onyx rides on ruby bark of remembrance
as she dies in a sob of last refrain.
I touch her name with futile fingers,
ingrain her essence into my heart.
I weep finality of a closing teardrop as
she flies freely and soars high,
last whispers have ticked, silence is nigh.
