Swallow

Death is the swansong

Carried in the talons of this dread dark falcon

Gliding on the winds of living vicissitudes and rank scars

Summer gails and Winter frost

Dead eyes that see forever dreams squashed

Paralyzed mouths solidified into eternal scream

Wishes of the drowning for one more gasp of air

I love you

Always

My darling

In the dark of day

I love you

Silence

Echoes of feelings

Frayed and purged

Nothingness remains

The shadow of a storm.

With each breath exhaled

Counting the smiles with the pain

In rebborn misery

Washing your mouth out with peppermint kisses

Swallow

And

Repeat

As the ghost in the mirror fades away.
