e-Paper Poetry of Vinx

On your sickbed

Wish I knew tricks
evading the demise
before it knocks,
it is you I will hide,
breaking shadows and scythe
right here on earth.

I wish I had 
firsthand information
of He who baked
all breath, and the oceans
I would come proposing 
on your behalf…

I wish I had
powers to control time,
I shall rewind
timelines right on my palm
solving your health issues
will be my aim…

I wish I had 
power to heal the sick
and not just shed
tears, through the thin and thick
watching you go
grey there on a sickbed.
