The Death of a Sensate
Can you hear it? Listen gently,
As it whispers so intently,
Murmuring of darkened lore.
Do you see it? Watch it closely,
As it tiptoes so precisely
And moves to close and bar the door.
Can you touch it? Feel its texture,
As it pours the acid mixture,
A toast to you, and so much more.
Do you taste it? Drink it down,
A bitter draught, without a frown,
As it burns you to the core.
Can you smell it? Vile decay,
As Death’s fingers gently play,
Upon the rudder to Styx’s shore.
