Death

Death is death nothing more to say

Death To gaze inside the blackened tomb, through veiled, bleak and darkest gloom. Step inside if you dare. Fear no souls, eyeless stares. Ghosts of past departed lives, hopes and dreams cut out with knives. Intrepid are those who dare to pass. He, that is cloaked, will hold death's mass. With sickle in hands of ageless bone, he reaps all souls, each one alone. Your trip into the hell of brimstone and fire, will burn your...

Old No. 666

poem on death. Not my usual zone.

Old No. 666 Mournful whistle. A Hell bound train In the distant fog and the bitter cold rain Bearing down upon the track Billowing clouds from its black smoke stack Clang of the bell, demon from Hell Reddened Monster, I’m under its spell Thunder is its wheels roaring down the rail Passengers of the dead, ghostly, white and pail Beckons to me as I lay in my bed Call of the Reaper, I think I am dead “Ticket,” says he, with...

Death Death you are all around me You visit and disappear so suddenly Why do you come to me laugh and mock me Why do you surprise me and take someone new From the day we are born Each day is numbered You are a part of life This I know I made peace with you ages ago But you still continue to visit and surprise me Until I have taken my last breath Know that I am not afraid My faith and my love are with me always Hand in han...

Carpenter let out a scream of rage as the Princess slowly slumped to the floor with an arrow in her chest. A large patch of crimson was darkening the front of her silky nightgown. He fell to his knees and gathered her up in his arms and held her to tightly. Tears filled her eyes as she found the strength to speak in a low whisper, "This is probably for the best, my beloved," she said as she reached up and stroked his face...

Caller ID

On our day of reckoning, our alter selves will be revealed.

Many summers yes, have come and gone.Countless struggles, but still vigorous. Offerings abound, blessings numerous.67 plus years ago this old man did spawn. Like many who grew up in my day.Memories some good, some bad.Frequent challenges yes I've had.Damaged somewhat along the way. Darkness visited too many times.Demons alive, swim deep in my well.My secrets disquieting, not a hard sell. All color vanishes in those confin...

Stalingrad, December 25, 1942.Winter blankets everything, turning the landscape bizarrely beautiful. If you look carefully, you can make out shapes under the hoarfrost and snow. Burned out tanks and piles of brick and steel that were once buildings litter the frozen battlefield that was once home to over 400,000 Russian men, women, and children. Now the corpses outnumber the living. You can see them as well, frozen limbs...

Farewell

When you loose someone it breaks you inside

Sometimes you have to say goodbye, Even though you don't want to. The sad and sorrow hurts so bad, But it's part of the healing process. As the days go by the pain may lessen, But they will never leave your heart. Acting out and shutting down is part of the grief, But it will not last forever. Drinking and drugs will not help, If anything else it will make it worse. Given time things will get better, Just take it day by d...

Death, As Told by a Dead Person

Death may befall you at any moment. Be careful.

My mind is blank,As I write this verse,though it would be,I'm in a hearse.I was pushed in a stank*,and left to rot,and when I was found,I was covered in trot.A terrible woehas befallen me,and I don't think anyone will come. Not even family.I float around and I see my beau,goodness, it's her!She's sad, but gorgeous,and wearing faux fur.I've left her behind,the only woman who I ever loved,and her tears she's wiping,with a h...

It was not a normal day at school. I knew something had to go wrong. Everything was going way too good. Close to the 3 o'clock bell the phone rang. It was the office telling me I had basketball duty that evening. Great... Oh well, only a couple of hours. No big deal, right? Sure. I knew it, just knew something would happen. Then it did. After I was in the gym for maybe 10 minutes, and the lower section was almost full, I...

let me die alone cover me with your blanket  and lay me in the casket  have no regrets and share no tears  be strong my love  I know you truly care I beg of you dear  go on with your life  there is no reason why you should die tonight,  I loved you in life and you gave me nothing but joy so let me die alone, keep me in your heart and reminisce  on the day we part and how it came to this but let me die alone  so I may prep...

i stood vigilantly as they foughtjust couldn't grasp the terms over which they were fighting, i walked away oh so brisk watching as the crowd grew and stimulated the warriors, these men arelike fiends they tussled primed at drawing blood.i remember hearing the gun go off a chilled moment of silence followed the loud echo, then an uproar of screamspanic and terror in their voices someone got hurt, was it a fighter, I got n...

The sound echoed through the midst of the air someone's dead but who cares just another wasted life remembered the ridicule, the slight glance at the body face down, blue top, black pants looks like a female figure groceries scattered on the ground poor soul, a free dove, a broken home a family lost a love and someone is left without a mom yet he shed no tears, strangers die everywhere concern on the face of onlookers yet...

Kiss me goodnight and say goodbye hold all invitations and laugher cause tonight brings sorrow  as my heart is cold  deaths kiss embrace my warm cheeks as time moves on  the matter is, am I still here  by the rising of the sun  or do I fall like rambling thunder at the break of dawn.  So much was heard but not enough said, as your kiss goodnight  might be a kiss goodbye  cause now am dead  and far away beyond  stuck in ti...

The house plant

A distinct memory and musing from my sister's death.

It lay forgotten in a pile of scattered potting soil, the green spider leg-like leaves splayed across the cream colored carpet. It was the only thing out of place in the room, apart from her absence, the humming and puffing of one machine, and the intermittent beeps from another. Silence. My mother sits quietly in the rocker, staring blankly at the mess. I think to clean up the dirt, to re-bury the plant's roots to keep i...

Die!A bloody battlecry.Kill!A deathly command.Swords clash,sinew, bone, heads shattered,death for the sake of land.Ceasefire!Nobody listens.An eternal battle blazes on.Millions of men, women, children.Dead.No hope for an ending,no thought to how it began.Lost to the battle.Through the years,methods of war change.Warmongers come and go,victims forgotten,though the death stays the same.War is stupid,wasteful,sinful.
