Death is Delicious

Tangy and bitter

Like coffee with orange

Sweet yet salty

Like salted caramel

Vanilla with a hint of the sea

This is the life of you and of me.

Thick and smooth

Like water-strewn sand

Fluid and delicate

Like gossamer strands

Spider’s web and oceans free

This is the life of you and of me.

Zenith and abyss

Opposites become same

Sunrise and twilight

Rising up in flame

The beat of your heart is calling to me

This is the life of you and of me.

Delicious regrets

A delectable taste

No forward remorse

As it’s no good to waste

I will flourish and set you free

This is the death of you, but not me!
