Sometimes I stare down
At icy water
And,
Feel the cold,
I do it so often
I don't think I know
Numb, anymore...
I watch the flow
And combine, my
Quintessence,
With the movement
Of
The waters,
And I anticipate the rush
Of death,
I'm existing in the moment
My pulse
Racing, toward the idea of it
It's so strange
To consider,
That I actually
Consider,
These,
Bizarre illusions....
My consciousness is not
Literally
Connected to brain activity,
I feel
The cold, in my mind
As I slow into nothingness
And begin to dream,
Of nothing
At all,
When suddenly, you touch me
From behind
And I find, myself
On the railing of a bridge
Just thinking.....

Tony,Thats one mind blowing way to put thing. What clouds one's judgements are flashes of the past and uncertainties of the future. A balancing scale that either plunges you into the far beyond or keeps you in this present life.its crazy because it can be chilly and at the same time enticing. its one hell of read. Cheers!
Hey Cleo!!.....it's a VERY gratifying thing to read a reply like this........it's kind of you to take the time...........much appreciated my friend.........have a good day bro!!...........smiles.........T xx
Tony!! I felt as if you were inside my head...wow. You can literally write about anything and it is so amazing how many people can relate to each poem. This one personally touched me as I was thinking about this subject last night when I couldn't sleep...still no sleep for me so I'm a little delirious ha but it is not as if I was thinking about wanting to die...just the concept of it and how much I miss the ones who have passed recently in my life and how much I appreciate the people who are in my life at this very moment. I have to add this to my favorites because it is so powerful. I have a feeling thoughts like the ones you wrote will always be there in the back of my mind until I am able to finally find relief from the pain. I know you can relate to being in constant pain but I pray you are feeling better. :)
With Love,

Valerie!!......I think of you sometimes (knowing you'll understand).........I haven't been sleeping at all for 5 days now.......Doc gave me Trazadone......didn't work!!.........so.....alone at night.....especially in "the wee small hours of the morning" (Carly Simon)........I find myself thinking of the opportunity........that the unthinkable offers.......and then I begin writing........always makes me feel better........so happy you got to read this.......always cool to communicate with someone who truly understands...........love and rockets!!...........T xx
Ahh 5 days?? I feel for you! Being sleep deprived is no fun and I know how you feel and how much it sucks to be awake when it seems the rest of the world is sleeping. I have been on that med before and it never worked...nothing works for me anymore so I understand. Hopefully the doctors can find another med for you that will actually work. Hugs!!
