Death Sprung Sudden Bitter Sting Poem by Terence George Craddock

Death Sprung Sudden Bitter Sting

Rating: 3.7


by dawn's grey light fading night
still waxen body ghosts waits...
shade when will you need spent
in clay broken rent husk release?

thou art not an aging mannequin fashion
sense dust lost in display shop window...
vacant gaze staring once handsome gone
soon must rest long upon another pillow?

face memory dances a familiar sight
yet not; death sudden altered sting pain bite;
unique soul essence trapped before flight?

soul essence gone dissipating fading leaving
behind broken; body mask once wore worn grieving;
without spirit animated soul is leaving outer casing?

this poem and style is not one that I thought would strike a chord many would readers, disjointed juxtaposed images beyond the mirror conveys meaning I want impose and it was fun to write
