death in a noble kind

by I. Afriza - Aries

DEATH IN A NOBLE KIND

"I look to like,
 If looking's liking move..."

Fear,
Scrutinizing yellow manuscripts for some answers
When eternal bliss has shifting shape to mere annoys
When years no longer teens but not yet forty-five
And ink of blood is no longer a prive
Mass consumption creates a ruling demand
Making creation clumsily run by errand
There,
Some welcome to contemporary longevity
Where old scraps is praise without deep thought
And excessive hopes enslave the present
I stay
On holding to where I begin
Squeezing the truth from eternal sin
Learning that true lord break free from lords
And embracing death
As the birth announcement of fresh gaseous material
From anguish to hollow, only
Eternal memoirs would serve as the only light.

Reason for writing:

    My experience on the other side.
