How Delicious, Death
How delicious it would be
To leave the shadows with a knife
To be re-baptized
In the blood of a strange passerby
To taste of death
And comprehend
The enemy
------------------------------------
There comes a time
Where I'm tired of being alive
How beautiful
To drive the gallows road
To slip the noose
Down, down, deep into
The black of hell
--------------------------------------
Someone is waiting for me
To leave the shadows
And escort them from their pain
To become the hand
Of exhausted
Human winter
Digging the hole in the ice
--------------------------------------
How delicious it would be
Like a blind man
To stumble into darkness downstream
The way that leads
To nowhere
And drink from the bloodied waters
Of nothingness
--------------------------------------
How beautiful
To collaborate with the pale souls
Who've vanished violently
Set fire to living
Torn the jugular from flesh
And bathed in the vitriol
Of numbness....

I'm thinking here can death be mirrored by life .Feeling the loneliness of isolation wanting to be around others.I too at times feel this way.even in the presence of others.
That's one powerful statement S.S.!!......." even in the presence of others.." says so much about the path you walk....a path we all must walk alone....... personally, I believe Death is a transitional thing...... not to be feared!!.... but that's just me......thanx for this my friend!!....... later.......T xo
How Dark is death,?
I found this a fascinating read,Tony’ thank you for sharing, As Death is an angel in disguise, for some.
And the devils disciple.. for others - poignant thought provoking poetry.
