Poem -
Just Thinking (on death)
Sometimes I stare down
At icy water
Feel the cold
In my spine
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 those waters
Anticipate
The rush of death
Existing inΒ its movement
My pulse
Racing
Toward the idea of it
It's so strange
To realize
That I actually consider
These bizarre illusions....
My consciousness
Is not literally
Connected
To my brain's activity
So I taste
The cold in my mind
As I slow into nothingness
And begin to dream
Of nothing
At all
When suddenly
A hand
Touches me
From behind
And I find myself
Standing
On the railing
Of a bridge,
Just,
Thinking....

Hi Tony,
Nice write. Donβt worry though, we do not die, we just move on!

I really like this Tony, when I was young I loved to climb and when I reached the top, be it a cliff or a tree or whatever I would just sit and think about leaping off. The distance and the end of it. I always knew that I would never leap but to contemplate an end by flying was weirdly relaxing. I don't know if you've noticed my friend but I can be a little bit odd.
Great write,
Nigel
My Dear Tony,
The abyss ever beckons
In times of despair
When darkness seems eternal
I oft visit there
.
I contemplate it's solitude
The never ending serenity
The walls offer protection
Echoing "Free from pain you will be"
Love,
Larry xxx
a dilemma most emphaticalay expressed Tony, Β close to my heart to as memories of a friend who suddenly took his own life came back to mind..in the car one minute..over the side of the bridge 2 seconds later so so sad and needlessΒ
This is an excellent poem. I think we all have these thoughts and they cross our mind from time to time. Β And itβs okay to be depressed (as I am), because a lot of people are. Β Keep on writingΒ
incredible write brother
Such a gorgeous dark write. I think everyone has thought about it at one time or another.Β
Oh love this one...being drawn to all things deep and dark myself...thankyou xx
Hi Tony good ink, stick around,
im just getting to know you.
I relate to the intrusive suicidal thinking.
with me it peaks and then passes but always comes back.....was there a Neitzsche quote in the comments some where!
In death we do sleep,
but maybe are not gone.
could we be but resting,
doth the soul move on.
