Undying

Halt now mounted steed

As I survey my lands

So lush with life

As evergreen

My heart beats on

Once ticking time

Away to brittling

Bones so tired

To years gone

By

_

Stealing breath

Once savoured now

Feared as if my last

On now to my spring

Of life

_

Revitalise this wretched

Tomb of flesh

With blood

Of seeds anew

Gorge on soma

As such to enter

Yet to die

So I might live

_

Kestrel's wings eat

Air currents well

Falcons take pleasure

In your deliberations

Consume to exist

As I

_

Elixir to my centuries

Children to my

Continued existence

I shall not pass over

For loneliness

Maybe

_

I care no longer

Ascendancy to all

About, you fall

Before me

So ever will

Hourglass devour

Your composition

Drain your inhalation

As my heart pounds

Stronger

I glory as you

Perish
