Michael Troy Buffo - When Death

2014-11-07 0 Dailymotion

(Yet another early work - one month shy of 17) <br /> <br />When death is coming up your walk, <br /> And you're unaware of his escence, <br />You invite him in, and have a talk <br /> Which reeks of omniprescence <br /> <br />When death is sitting in your home <br /> And you're enchanted by his smile <br />He's been to places like Paris and Rome, <br /> You ask him to stay awhile <br /> <br />When death is leaning very near, <br /> And your house is all aglow, <br />He whispers something in your ear, <br /> You know it's time to go <br /> <br />When death is touching you all around <br /> And he plays within your head, <br />You cannot see, nor hear a sound, <br /> You know you'll soon be dead <br /> <br />When death becomes a part of you, <br /> In the still of night <br />There is nothing you can do, <br /> Until you see the light <br /> <br />When death takes you to the place <br /> Where you'll see the light, <br />You will not find a familiar face, <br /> But you'll be too tired to fight <br /> <br />When death begins to say goodbye <br /> And says you're on your own <br />You watch the light, and then you sigh - <br /> You see how bright it's grown <br /> <br />When death gets up, and walks through the light <br /> (Which feels like half-melted ice) <br />You follow him through to discover your plight <br /> And find you're in paradise<br /><br />Michael Troy Buffo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-death/
