Only Death
How sweet tis the evening
with the silver moon alive,
along with the dancing shadows
among the sins of an apple tree.
The branches that swing
its evergreen leaves,
trying to touch the black sky.
Wishing to harvest the moon
on an October night sky.
The winds that sings a sickening lullaby.
So unique it stings the air
with a bittersweet scent of death.
Clawing the night with open
claws,
only to clasp what's not yours.
The spirits that scream to hope,
by morning their souls to keep.
For when the bells toll,
No one but death, shall know.
