"His Lady, Her Love"

A child is born with brilliant brown eyes.
Innocence of a thousand stars therein shine.
Yet innocence wanes, withers, and dies.
As those eyes take in the world he's trapped in.

And every minute his heart beats.
He's one moment closer to death.
Aching for ultimate release he lives.
Praying for his last remaining breath.

When will She come to claim him?
Flying frightfully on Her black-feathered wings.
Exhaling darkness, eyes frigid, smile grim.
Dark Angel, Lady Death, in all Her splendor.

How he longs for Her frigid embrace.
Oh, how wonderful it would be!
Giving himself to Her: mind, body, and soul.
She'll strip him of his prison and set him free!

She has a thousand names in a thousand tongues.
She haunts his dreams, as he quietly screams.
Her kiss will steal the breath from his lungs.
He'll weep into her breast as silence'll creep into his chest.
