Dame Death Lamenting

                                                                    DEATH,                                                                 returns, again,                            in                         sabled                     reggae,                   but              an            actress     in       a    paradox               way,                     to      dispatch         a        youthful             one,                          a    baby, into     arms   of heaven’s           God,                            not maybe; she             internalizes           plan,                         paternal, to do homage to belief, eternal.                          Her                      arrival, duly noted daily, fated by eternity so palely,                          sets             a play, despairingly repeated, with enabled encore, ably meted.                          With       her scythe, aside, the reaper rages, axing rye on rye beneath the ages;                          sent at midnight nightly, midnight, ending, Death refuses  rest with duties pending.                                  Slash!    The reaper taps on scythe serenely, for a    millisecond so routinely;                              then,     again, a slash cross field, betoken, but, again, another     tap not broken.                          From                                the morning, dewed, to night’s detention,                          into                                twilight’s moonlit trough, through mention -                          in a                smitten motion, frozen wryly, Death abets ascension, be it dryly.                          Dark       recesses, writhing long, relentless, focus on their duty bound, repentless,                          for,    beneath Death’s covered shadow, vapored, lies beginning life, forever tapered.                          None escape, for long, these silent sightings, told in tales of grief and bitter blightings;                          many  march toward destined day, demented, with misgivings matted and lamented.                          What      does matter most, does matter little, under God’s design, a bargain, brittle,                          half a  promise, half, demand, with passion centered on Cartesian plane’s compassion.                         But,  she wearies, not, this Queen, enchanted, being strong at heart by seedling planted,                  though she does lament the timeline, gapping, conscious of diminished moment, tapping.
