Sunset. <br />A smile catches my lips <br />as I stretch. Rise. <br />Sleep finally vacates <br />it's hold on my limbs. <br />I'm ready. <br /> <br />Outside. <br />The last dying light <br />paints the sky <br />with rose dipped circles <br />of forgotten gold. <br />I'll wait. <br /> <br />Tonight. <br />Dust from my catacomb <br />is washed by night's breeze. <br />You ask - 'Are coffins true? ' <br />Unfortunate, but necessary... <br />and quite relaxing. <br />You shiver. <br /> <br />Eternity. <br />In just one night <br />all I see, smell, taste, <br />lingers longer than love. <br />Heartbeats fade, <br />surrendering life. <br />I smile. <br /> <br />Sunrise. <br />Bittersweet tormentor <br />chasing me home <br />to the earth of my chamber. <br />I dream of tomorrow. <br />With life on my lips... <br />I'm satisfied. <br /> <br />16/6/08<br /><br />Viola Grey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/slight-obsession-with-the-immortal/
