Death

Cyanide
Sarin
Valium
To each his own poison
When death seeps in
It doesn’t matter
How you embraced her
What matters is
Her kiss,
Which turns the lips deep blue
Your breathlessness
Excites her
Your pounding heart
Tells her of your love
Your pale cheeks
Will glow under her gaze
She is your beloved
You better go down on your knees

would you come by

If you could see
How our love slips through my fingers
Even as I try and hold it tight
Would you come by
To put your hands beneath mine
To stop it from trickling down
And being lost for ever

If I told you that I was forgetting
How your skin feels against mine
And your smell that wafted around me
Is becoming a fading memory
Would you come by
To embrace me once more
Letting me breathe the aroma of our love

If you saw me
Today
Roaming in the garden
Alone and lonely
Would you come by
Just to say hello?
