Silence

Beyond the eyes and beyond the arms 

There is a space beyond the grasp

There is no noise, there is no voice 

There is no coffin, there is no pyre 

It's just a wet quagmire 


A never ending silence

With no screams or violence 

There is no hope or desire 

Just darkness, not even cold fire 


The world becomes beautiful 

Silent without a heartbeat 

A calm chasm has no fear 

No one will come near. 


No blood, no bruise and no broken bones 

Nothing to shred, no ash, not even a smoke 

There is joy in death 

When nothing grows, nothing wilts.


"Oh! Why didn't I die earlier, Eve?"

"I am glad that you finally did."
