Duality

Poem no. 9 | Birth of Death

"Hello darkness,

Hello my old friend."

Such power you have gain,

Through madness

You descend

And begin your long reign.

Where Shadows lie

Where Angels die

Where Light cannot stand by

You set your domain

Over my soul's pain,

You tie up my heart's broken pieces

With the power of a million kisses,

Kisses of love and despair;

Only death is in the air.

You think you have won

And that my soul is gone,

But when a soul is caged

He fights back.

You, my friend, have been staged

You've turned my soul to black:

"DEATH is my name

And hereby i claim

The throne over your domain

Now, you see,

Forever you will be

A messenger for me.

You will arrive first

And make people thirst,

Forever to be cursed,

With greed

You will feed,

Until you plant a seed

In their mind and soul

You will dig a hole

So i can take control,

Their hearts i will rip

Their souls i will keep

Of their humanity i will strip

Until they will feel my grip

And a kiss on their upper lip

Over Styx we will take a trip

Where life cannot leap

From fire they will sip

To them i will quip,

Forever in them hope will sleep."

And thus Death was born

Out of a rose's thorn

And Darkness became

His loyal friend he had tame'.
