and ode to desolation

beasts
they prefer solitude
the desperate souls
seek disparate quietude
the final  
lasting peace
and they pay a great price for that
 
for there is no greater peace
than certainty
and no greater certainty
than death
the destruction of all that is alive
and/or beautiful
 
 
the peace  
when holding the ashes
of love
of life
of your world
after the final betrayal by
your love
your life
your world
and every single person
and object
you held dear
 
there exists no more
the fear
the possibility of losing anything
or everything
after death and destruction
 
her embrace
is grotesque and beautiful
and permanent
she stares not
at you
cares not
what you
are
her name is Mawt
the fraternal twin
of destruction
 
desolation
is her gift she leaves
in you wake

Author's Note
Mawt: Arabic/Hindi/Urdu for death

here the death is both physical and metaphorical:
the personification of the power that destroys life
the action or fact of dying or being killed; the end of the life
the destruction or permanent end of something
