- - - GRAVESTONES BENEATH HEAVEN - - -

What God denies, the devil supplies
Easing hearts sick of lament
I choose not to defy
My Faustian reasons til I'm spent
Decaying in different seasons
What King of words
And tears I've spurned
Who's books I have surely burned
With eager turning of pages
No princess brides of withered mages
Can release me from my plight
At the height gravestones
The ravens atone
For a perch right below Heaven
But I murder the crows
In chasm undertows
I must be the last one in line
To feast on the carcass
A feeling I cannot suppress
I will claim what is rightfully mine

(c) 2015 Frank Green
