Black morning and glowing night
Wings of darkness passing light
Fluttering with Reaper’s sigh
Whispering a dreadful cry
Behind her beaut hides a lie
Flecks of gold dust in her eye
Under the gloom covered cloak
Warm as ice, and clear as smoke
A star speckled river woke
“Come and drift with me”, he spoke
“To a place where tired souls soak”
Death’s angel waiting at bay
Charon’s palm demanding pay
Dark butterfly, lead the way
Twilight is now turning grey
Cold lips and smell of decay
Whiff of sorrow gone astray
Wings of death, breathe of dread
Black butterflies, eyes of red
Ghostly look obscure tears shed
Withered fearful thoughts to bed
Chained to a thin piece of thread
Cut by fate’s blade of the dead
