Poison and berries
His face was like looking at time itself
Everything moving froze in his wake
A chilling daze spread throughout his cheek
As if one had now crossed over his own cemetery
His nose was curved up into a vicious beak
Beyond lay all the secrets of the universe
Under his brow
His slimy stale odor
Leaving a trail of tears behind as he passed
The Awakened has appeared
And death has gripped its last departed soul
Beyond his grasp is a forbidden territory
One not yet crossed
The Dead Man’s home is within sight
The horizon is just by yonder
He shouldn't fail this journey nor falter

I am a Sophomore at Miami Dade College. I love the beautiful outdoors, baby animals are so adorable. And writing for me is a gateway to letting out my frustrations, joys and happiness in life. Granted, I'm not much of a poet I find this could be a great outlet for me. It's been a wonderful year and college experience. I hope and wish I learn more about the beautiful world around me.
