smile Universe smile

Death shook my hand in such a feminine way
Lied to slip like faith across the universe
A mass smiling in that decedent way
The clock strikes its finality like hammers to the anvil
Waking the universe for a blinking second
To mourn that passing of another labored soul
Born to rush, unabated to death's bosom
I grunt in that forget me not way
A soft epitaph to hide a deficient legend

I am death's sweat upon the blasphemous hands of man
I am the last song dyeing on your lips
I am the deadly beat of every liar's heart
I am the sweetest taste to hide this sour consequence

Did you know the hands that burned The Body?
That sat upon the forested artifact
Clasping hands in folded reverence to lay bare
Lies that scorched the counterfeit dogwood
Another idle hand grasping an idol calf
Here to make mockery of a noble gift
Sent to deliver the crying universe

Lies breathe smooth as truth
Pushed across the good intentioned tongue
Smiling as you hold that dainty hand
Sent to forge deceit within the hollows of slow hearts
Along this beat the hearts shatter
Challenging hope within secret chambers
A careless stroke brings death by love
And oh how the universe wept
