Dying Wish

 The sun set, filled the night with gloom

Stars were crucified across my room

I steal a glance at the settings sun

I see flickering shadows I cannot shun

A wraith drifting in the mortal realm

A devil steering at the ship’s sinking helm

A ghost searching, an ethereal form

A memory forgotten lost in a storm

Hope will be ash, scattered on the wind

Bloody reaping, a wing clipped and pinned

On a crimson canvas, gasping for breath

Gloriously proclaim: I'm the Chosen of Death

No mortal can harness my will to die

I climb the smoke to the land above the sky

In blissful heavens. Mortal, stay where you are

I set my hearth ablaze to warm the dying stars
