Eternity by Richard TrotterSomewhere the soldiers
still walk into cannon fire
while others lie in agony
wrecked by deathless pain.
Infinity's flashing blade
hangs above the chorus
of the screams on the sinking ship
that sinks and never reaches
the thud of the ocean bed.
A billion ghosts are walking
there's more of them each day
in black and white and colour,
the pair of ascending lovers
in unbroken ecstacy 01/02/2003 Posted on 03/16/2004 Copyright © 2025 Richard Trotter
