*When Death Comes*

When death comes

I would like to meet her old

Not like the age but like old friends 

Sitting on a table and catching up with life 

She telling me all her stories of time and me mine.

Mine you see are, well honestly "plain"

Yet she, with open arms sipping her whisky, listens

I go on and on with everything I've got!

Eventually we arrive at now,

Having relived all my past and every what if that is not! 

At now, Silence 

In that silence, I sense something 

an understanding that my time is up and her drink is over.

I smile nervously and she with her kind eyes.. "it's time" she whispers. 

Together We get up, hand in hand,

Clear my tab and leave.


**Tears**

Caught in turbulence

Suffocating on air

Everything around a whirlwind

The experience so intense

That words fail.

Then, it seeps,

Flowing freely from the cage of your eyes!

Tears.
