Death clings tightly
to unbleached bones.
Bitter soul ripped
from its home.
Craving sustenance,
cardinal dreams.
Left with nightmares
fractured screams.
Hungered sockets
weep decay.
Hoping death
has gone astray.
Hidden deep
in dark confines.
Pulsating heart
now declines.
No more power
do I hold.
Ice filled soul,
feels so cold.
Chills encase
mortal sin.
Reaper comes,
bloodshed wins.

Frantic in its melanic void,
focused in its free rhyme.
I felt each word tagged the next
and the whole related seamlessly to the image.
