'Elusive Extremes'

[Asphodelle13]

I wrote this real quick so I didn't edit it much yet, and I think the title doesn't make much sense...but anyway tell me what you think of it.


Why must peace play on elusive
Love and death prove both a mystery
My eyes ease to brim in elated extremes
If its earth or beyond that I’m meant to be

The clutch of death upon my heart
I’d foretold from a removed spell
Was all my youth knew of extremes
Demanded more will then I had to quell

The taste of love’s life-giving dew
It tempts me here throughout the years
Yet at one time no one but I
Cared enough to subdue my tears

Of love or death I’m torn amidst
From two offers that I must decide
One to hide encased in lifeless clay
Where doom molds insecurity
Or venture still another way
And release to an unknown sea.
