Life

My eyes are bright, as I am young, & see all through the night

My legs are wick & soul is lively, my heart is full of light

My love is warm & I love you, although I do not speak

I am with you as a friend, love, always strong & never weak

My eyes grow cloudy, as I am older, my throat burns with smoke

My body is firm but pudgy, a multitude of times my heart was broke

My love is burning & I want you, now I will speak & be heard

I am with you always, love, as a dove; a pretty pet bird

My eyes are dim, as I am old, I listen to the night

My legs are crippling & soul is tired, my age is at its height

My love is yours & I always have & will love you; my voice shatters thought

I am with you as a mentor, love, to tell you what you shouldnąt & what you ought

My eyes are closed, as I am dead, & darkness is all there is

My body is stiff & soul has dispersed, my heart has stopped its fizz

My love is cold but I loved you, although I cannot speak

I am with you as a friend, love, always strong & never weak
