DEATH IS A WHORE (spoken word poetry by HENRY "Judgebush" AKUETE)

-
 Death oh death, woe unto her
She is a whore; a whore with an insatiable thirst to lay with all men
Standing by the road of profane vanity
She waits to defile my youth
Oozing with the putrid smell of all that have laid with her
She beckons to all with a smile that beggars a cry
With her scarlet robe of gruesome promiscuity
She yearns to foul your coveted virginity
Fat and ugly she opens to bereavement
She has no watch for time is her slave
All through time she has laid with the kings of men
Immortal for days past she drinks the tears of sorrow
Death oh death where art thou arisen?
Where art thou born to haunt my joy?
Taking the seed of young and unborn
She wallows naked in the river of desolation
I fear the looming dusk of sleep
for death comes her cousin within
Life is but a fleeting turture
But death be the undying bride of grief
Yes oh yes, i see and i know
That death is trully a whore
And yes i see that life is her pimp

The sun rises  from the far ends of the east from tired slumber reaching out outstretched  with golden blades of a zillion photons it blinds fell beasts of nocturnal habit chasing the darkness into the far corners of the cold west the mist rises, the dew falls from the blades of grass the lark is giddy as she sings of time and earth it is a new day for life, love, and hope    -- Henry Akuete        (the Undying Poet)

The Never Met

In the space called life lurks beings in the dark and the light those that move and those that touch some come to stay and some to nought  i feel the lot and none is awake i seem like the only one in the day that breaks yet in the last days i found a soul in the dark with a torch that brought the spark its a she! my heart alights i feel the essence that eludes my eyes she connects beyond the physical with a bond akin to the chemical i feel alone no more for another for a kind of another mother out of the dark she came and darkness fled her flame oh i seek no more for one for all i seek is now undone my eyes can now retire for i found what i once inquired: The ONE I NEVER MET
