~ DEATH'S TONGUE ~

~ DEATH'S TONGUE ~

There are corpses
Alone sometimes I see
Alone sometimes, I hear
The inkling of an invitation
Bleeding, 
From death's tongue

As in a song of purity
A simple whisper singing
The creeper cometh
As he withers the garland
Upon my brow
And exalts in the idea
That I am coming 
To his gray tomb
In his own time
And in the cold dust
Be equal made
Through cool intimacies
Softly whispered,
And by
Death's tongue,
Malevolently,
Considered....

Yea...life gets to be burdensome Tony...ungrateful bitch that I am.
Can't pick a particular line ...it all does it for me. Patience indeed!!! What lies beyond?? ...freedom, peace, weightlessness, bliss??? Home maybe.
Yes...patience!! Great write, sincerely. Excellently penned...hugs 💕

Tony another great write as expected and maybe it's just me but I can interpret this in way that says be aware of oncoming death through old age.
I dunno maybe it's me looking either too deeply between your lines or through it, or option number three I'm losing the plot!🤣
Anyway, whatever great poetry kudos to your good self for again writing a wonderful piece and for me very thought provoking also.
Full poetry honours bestowed and I wish you well my poetic friend.

Hey SHAUN,
Firstly, I don't think that you could ever completely misinterpret or look too deeply into a piece ....it's obvious how much you truly love writing and reading poetry.......To be able to write poetry the way you do....you have to have some appreciation for poetry itself......and I think everyone here would agree with me......yours is a VERY insightful and appreciative sense of pure comprehension when it comes to the poetic....we ALL look forward to your
replies and thoughts on our stuff.....secondly, if you ever try to leave this site we will all collectively arrive at your home to spank your poetic bottom...big smiles.......stay groovy brother.....talk soon......T xo  : )

Tony a thousand apologies I mentioned giving full honours and forgot to do so yesterday. Also I choose never to leave here, for there are so many members, who like your good self inspire me  through their wonderful poetry and uplifting comments. 
Now made amends good sir and... 
The shame! The shame!
Poetry shame of course, the finest and most unforgiving in the world!!
Thanks Tony and kudos to you my friend⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
