Death Rattle Darkness by Kenneth Vincent Walker



Death Rattle Darkness

 

I have seen both sides;

 

Now, I cannot close my

 

Eyes amid this freezing

 

Cold kiss of Death with

 

 

Her frigid lips clinched

 

Pressed tightly to mine.

 

The viciousness of Life;

 

The last heartbeat of a

 

 

Diminishing survival are

 

At odds and are rivals to

 

The bitter end, Alas, this

 

Viscous drip from veins

 

 

Now collapsed while my

 

Mind slowly slips into a

 

Subconscious state with

 

A mammoth embrace

 

 

As pumping ceases to

 

Exist, the thumping now

 

Leaps from my chest, a

 

Lowly bellow befriends

 

 

My last shallow breath

 

Has come to its end as

 

I fall from my saddle

 

Halted by a death rattle

 

 

Silenced forever Amen.
