The
silence
it is deafining
i can hear a pin
drop,
all
but for that breathing
oh someone make it
stop!
From
behind these wilting walls
i hear it night and day, the sound
of death's incessive breath it never goes
away.
I
feel
it getting closer
more and more as i grow old,
i see the shaddow
of a corps
waiting
to
take
hold.
I
can smell
it's rotten stench
i feel it's evil touch,
my
bed's become a casket
with my body in it's
clucth.
As
if that wasn't
bad enough seducing
all my fears, relentlessly
it moan's to me deep
within my
ears.
Stalking
me within my sleep my voice is paralized,
my nerves inside like bugs they creep eating out
my eyes.
So
this is
what it come's to
as they invaid my bed,
i am but a legacy so
something can be
fed.
The
price we pay
to pass this way
but for a moment's
clout,
mother's
womb is now
a
tomb
marked
either n or
out.
Ben
the
artist
formerly
known
as

Uh huh,
You been hiding this side of your talents under a bushal.
Great work, my friend.
Death can't have you yet as we need your help in the writing.
I'm happy to see you letting it all out.
huggs, big smiles,

Excellent write It draws this reader on ward hanging on each coming word. It made me think of getting old and how each view its differently.
