Immortality

Joshua Kinsel 1984 (San Antonio, tx)



Sharp the sting of the venom
Cold as it flows through my veins
Lava covers my skin red
Dark my vision is stained
Flames pour outta my nostrils
Sulphur burns my throat and tongue
Black my insides are dying
Death is spewed from my lungs
Dead I rose from the ashes
Alive but cold to the touch
White the red fades from my beard
Gray my emerald eyes flux
Black the blood drips from my wound
Deaf I can't hear through the ring
Sharp my blade cuts with a vengeance
Hardened my soul no longer sings
Blind my third eyes shows the future
Power released from the dragon
Complete my master grants immortality
Now I can work with no laggin

About this poem
