All I need...


from the ABC set Dark Work

All I need,
And my life,
Is a word I heed?
My love,
Is at the edge of a knife,
Is waiting from the above.

She is beauty,
She is death,
But my love is bloody,
The water is sins,
And I take my final breath,
A new life begins.

Had I cursed?
Had I sinned?
Beauty comes to me on my hearse.
Fire of my desire,
Blowing in the wind,
Will lead you to inspire.

Hate conquers all,
Love conquers all,
Death conquers Love,
Death conquers Hate.
Life conquers Death.

I like deep, dark poetry. I'm not hugely clued up on poetry but I liked the dual layering of this one. Nicely done.
