The chill awaits
my soul tonight!
A sinister emotion
of death and spite.
Foreclosed
are the heavens
to mankind\'s delight.
The misery of time
has devoured the flesh
as an awakening of age
calls me to accept my faith.
I can no more pursue my will,
as I fade each day,
for the years, they flow,
towards a relentless kill.
My God given reason
will not believe
what my eyes conceive
a bitter reality.
My life will truly leave!
Death will rise!
Oh horrendous truth,
oh smear of creation!
This the gift of Adam,
so some same,
for a forbidden fruit
I have not savoured.
My mind has stopped
on a cold blooded toll.
The years have flown,
but where did they go?
In my world of heart,
I forever see,
a youth I have not lived,
nor known extensively.
By the gods in heaven!
What has become of me?!
Now my body weeps
with aches and creeps,
as the clock ticks and ticks,
towards eternity.
I despair:
\"Oh come back!
Come back!
My years, come back to me!\"
My eyes will close
on one last day.
One final breath
and one last tear
shall bring my time away.
I shall be no more!
I shall speak no further!
I shall bare no will!
Hands tide to rest
and rot with me.
I shall mumble no more
reason or word of love,
nor hate.
But what will truly be
of me?
Alas my knowledge,
my dreams, my light
and darkness,
shall truly end for me!
And there shall be
no more torment,
no more hope,
no more passions,
no more love!
Oh love....
Time!
Man\'s enduring enemy.
