LIFE

Life 

life once resided here

inside his ticking tocking heart

 now death is taking 

its merciless shape

 all enveloping 

life was hot blood here

All aahs

and warm emotion 

sexual, kind 

 liberated and sublime 

Now
Awkward
Lonely Wanting 

Skinny pale
whilst withering  

Within no love lives
Death dwells inside 

with only the dark blanket
of loneliness

 wrapping his aging skin

As a sorrowed song sings 

 there's little comfort from the fear 

of aging
