Satiety
- - - - - - - -
With every passing breath
Desiccated is my spirit and warmth
Once feeding on
Extolment and distinction
Now totally contented
With a few bites of food
The more nourishment I crave
The less I desire
Neither gold nor silver
Could lure me either
Nor hunger nor thirst
Could I care most
Hearts once happy now pine
Tongues once sweet now bitter even
Am I outliving my life?
That I look upon it with grief
I loath hearts that pine
I tire of all but swift oblivion
I was spun by Clotho
Carried on not knowing her motto
Reached the point of rosiness
Having faith in Lachesis and Atropos
And ingesting a sop to Cerberus
Lest I might fight the potential of menace
Now wish to be carried on
Upon the vehicle of Charon
Bu şiiri puanla
