Death Where Is Thy Sting

By Luther

Her love lies bleeding on a marble floor,
His sight grows dim as life departs.
Through mortal exodus love endures;
Her love lies bleeding on a marble floor,
Death has no power, no province here,
Love remains in a heart that's pure.
Her love lies bleeding on a marble floor,
His sight grows dim as life departs.

    I like this one. Very dark and powerful! I like the lines, "Death has no power, no province here, Love remains in a heart that's pure." Love is a muthafucka. I like the title as well.

    Thank you, I was using the quote by Dylan Thomas - "Though lovers be lost, love shall not; And death shall have no dominion" as a prompt.
