tempest

A poem from one of my favorite movies.. as it has been rattling through my head these last several days. Somehow, I feel as though posting it here will release it from it's trappings in my skull..

the Death poem from Cemetary Man aka Dellamorte Dellamore

Death,
death,
death
comes sweeping down,
filthy death the leering clown,
death on wings,
death by surprise,
failing evil from worldly eyes,
death that spawns as life succumbs,
while death and love, two kindred drums,
beat the time till judgement day,
an actor in a passion play,
without beginning,
without end,
evermore,
amen
