Lure it isn't hard, to be honest it could be just a bit of (forbidden) doctor pepper a cookie a smile that says hey, you seem nice and the likelihood is i'd follow through Hades' gates and say you seem nice, too #vss365

"Lord Byron (1788–1824)". From "Last Words", a sequence of poems each starting with the last words (sometimes apocryphal) of a well-known person. #poem #poetry #skypoets #blueskypoets #poetsofbluesky #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #lastwords #byron
                         Now, I shall go to sleep.
             Alone, for once —
                  and that is as it should be
                                    when one fears no wakening.

                                                              Of late I have preferred
                                              my dreams to waking life:
                    my limping swallows
                                fly to nest,
       and cease their restless soaring,
              swooping,
    skimming placid lakes.

           I know I’ve done things
                     that the world calls mad
                (I’ve done things even I call bad),
                                   but there is more to me than that...
                                                     I promise there is more to me than that.

Buried twice, yet denied the quiet dirt,
they pace the corridors of their own decay—
hunting a pulse they cannot feel,
forever starving for the warm, red feast
they can no longer taste.
The exquisite malice of the grave:
dying of hunger,
though already dead.
