This despair drowns me, <br />Like night smothers the light, <br />Yet still like angels eyes stars promise, <br />Promise relief in my final measure, <br />The poison tears my throat, <br />Like acid eating my flesh, <br />Hope enevolpes me in its light, <br />The smell of death creeps to me, <br />Reminding me of a summer nights breeze, <br />Enticing with it thoughts, <br />A night in my lovers arms, <br />But death now is my lover, <br />Hope amoung despair, <br />Despairs only relief is in deaths unjudging care.<br /><br />Holly Heron<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/despair-9/
