Empty Grave - I Conquered death
I'd conquered death
twice with the
blood of the lamb,
Death came again
with spikes and
a softy guise,
She fleshed up her
bony tail with her
stinging balm,
I looked at her
eyes and I said
name your price;
"What's your
favourite meal aside
blood and bone?",
My blood is bitter
and can't be spilled
even for a pint,
"Then what's your
cherished Jewellery
aside skulls and thrones?"
So go away,
I am a body of light;
I have no grave,
my place is among the
people of scented lips,
Dig not the hole
that goes six feet
into the land of the hades,
I won't sleep there,
I won't step there,
I won't dwell among it's keep;
My clansmen please don't go
to an empty grave,
Am not there, I've said this...
I won't be in the shadow of
casted beings of death
for thousands years,
Where death icy hands
torment the souls of meekly
Judged that are dead,
I have no grave
though embattled
with those grisly fears;
I anoint my kinsmen
from the darkly piercing
icy hands which they dread,
The dreaded that steals
the sanity of both old
and young in its circumference,
I rebuke you death
be gone forever with
your assassin knights,
My body shall not lie
within your grasp as a hold
for encumbrance;
I have no grave,
I am an anointed
body of light;
(Poem: “Empty Grave Part 2” by Olorunleke Odubote)
