Youth
January 19, 2016
Whisper quiet,
darkest night;
silent riot,
tender light;
Fleshly gleaming,
timeless soul;
silent scheming,
endless hole;
Down he went,
to pay the dust;
gentle scent,
and gentler rust;
Wish and worry,
stopped and ceased;
haste and hurry,
fallen beast;
Sightless eyes,
and silent veins;
in peace he lies,
on crimson stains;
Too blind to see,
too young to flee;
now, is he,
forever free.
