Death

Death,
Feasts on souls and spite,
Like a lake swollen with bright moonlight.
Ravens whisper a silent scream.
Pooling like a bloody stream.
Crawling, slithering like a horrid dream.

Eyes hide the mysteries of the soul.
Dreams leak out through a bullet hole.
Sleep flits across the mind.
Darkness and fear intertwine.
While silence lends a silken shine.

Suddenly, light filters through,
Colors appear in vivid hues.
The shining sun caresses me,
As tears flow, cascading freely.
Finally, now I can see!
Now, finally I'm allowed to be free!
