Eclipse

Aa Harvey

Eclipse

 

 

Be gone!  Be gone!  Foul evil beast;

This is not my place of reckoning.

The guardians of light stand at my side

And death is not yet beckoning.

 

 

In foulest stench, I see you drenched,

In blood; I see you dripping.

But I am not for the taking yet;

I am still for the living.

 

 

Come back in time, of a dying future.

The time is not now; we are alive in this state.

In time you can take me to meet your master;

But now is my time to live, so leave this place!

 

 

Do not hover nearby hoping for easy pickings;

This body still stands and is not for the giving.

You are misguided, mistimed and mislead;

Off with your head, if you expect to take me away from this blessing.

 

 

The darkness does not haunt me, as you would wish;

So be gone foul beast!  Back to your bottomless pit.

My soul is still mine and you are out of your mind,

If you think I will stop suddenly;

Sooner than my time.

 

 

You are not my eclipse.
