Lethe

Lethe

Partake not lightly Lethe skew
Cast Absinthe, ye poison brew
Necrosis befalls at lethargic pace
Boorish tis audacious chase
Β 
Breathe faint upon mortal reign
Fragile tis an hourglass grain
Supplication afoot a woe to bear
Thee hour nigh kneel in prayer
Β 
Lambent gossamer wings unfold
Safeguarding against Reaper’s cold
Harbinger pitch murder of crow
Fodder tis kin and kith below
Β 
Descend somber nocturne ode
Finite soul tis a tariff bestowed
Devour copious from divinity stein
Descry harmony in glorious design
Β

Lisa this is quite an amazing creation a testament to your poetic talents and vocabulary (had to look up Lambent, Lethe, Absinthe, totally worth it) you certainly don't write adult nursery rhyme tweets, lol, astonishing tone and storyline, a pleasure to read, cheers poetessΒ

Very dark and delicious, though I do like a good absinthe once in a while.

PoetessDarkly;
Grasping that the depravity's of darkness and developing the willingness to go deeper into the darkest night reflects the tolerance of this dark understainding. If a rating were to be issued for this particular type of poetry and the highest rating would be a six than this would be deservingly so for this particular type of poetry. Thanks for sharing and take care and have a good one especially with all those that love you dearly.
