His Darkened Throne Poem by Patti Masterman

His Darkened Throne



When you become old
Sleep lies much closer to death
Death's angel is always close by
Waiting for a chance to steal your next breath

A few breaths stolen
And he might start rowing you home then
The seas so smooth, you'll never see
His darkened throne under the water.
