Poetry Day!!!

I recorded a poem I had written some time ago. I've wanted to record my poems for a while, and I sorta like how this one came out, but I need to figure out a better way to record them. Any thoughts on how to go about that?

Anyway, here it is:




Here's the text of the poem:

Ode to Death

To The Gatekeeper of Immortality

A song to dearest death, the one for whom we wait:

Oh sister death, how I long for thee

Gift of my lover, you care for us so

Like an ornate frame, you circumference our lives

Granting definition, delight of the artist


Oh sister death, how I love your coming

Bringer of life, slender blood-soaked virgin

Cause of fear, author of delight

Infinitely complex, beautifully simple


Oh sister death, how I pine for your embrace

To fall into your arms, enveloped in your shroud

To pass beyond your veil, giving up my breath

Drifting into sleep, tumbling into darkness
