~~~ Brazen ~~~

In darkness of the night
I spied him behind a tree
Sat I frozen by the sight
He was staring at me
Right in my eyes
The summer's heat became a chill
The messenger of death at his kill...

My heart skipped with an unknown fright
Couldn’t blink my eyes
Glanced back with all my might
Parted he my company
My chest was ferociously pounding still
To see the messenger of death at his kill...

I did rise and take flight
The fear made me to flee
From darkness into light
To free captivity
Unbinding my soul from his will
Coz, it was the messenger of death at his kill...

Many years since that night
Gazed I on that brazen be
Memories’ of still incite
Fears of my slavery incinerating
Existence of him makes me ill
As the messenger of death at his kill...
