My Time To Die

My Time To Die

I wish to sleep, a long dark sleep
Where there has never been
Such a silence, devoid of violence
Haunted by my every sin
Oh great creator, what is it in my nature
So depraved and deathly forlorn
That haunts my ugly sleep, where I fight to keep
The baby smell with which I was born
-------------------------------------------------
I need to dream, a most irreverent dream
In deaths most mystical rest
Who's sinful fall, has divided us all
Into this troubled trespass
Where man's duality, is woven by the seams
And sex woven into its twist
Where innate ideas on procreation, pains my selfish aching
And my bid for God's congress..... bleeds
---------------------------------------------------
I wish to become the light, on the other side
Where life becomes the dream
Where blood is quantum love, and thoughts cherubic doves
And nothing is as it seems
Where we are understanding, and God does all the planning
So I can finally find that sleep
Filled with blissfulness, without life's painfulness
Where all is precisely as it should be
With no need to cry, I wrap myself ever so comfortably
In my time to die....

Tony Taylor

Hello Tony...

This brought my mind back to a conversation my Mother would talk about often with me and when she died It was hard, but she was so beautiful and the scent she left behind was like the sweetest perfume and my family asked me what did I spray?

I didn't spray anything, and there was such a peaceful feeling when you walked into her room and the beautiful scent just lingered in the air...

When my Dad died, the scent was so disgusting and no matter what I did I couldn't get rid of the smell and the feeling I got whenever I would have to go in there...

I was in and out as quick as possible no one could be in there for more than a few minutes...

I ended up having to destroy the house for a couple of reasons...

That was the main reason...
​​​​​​
​​​​Great write!

Thank you for sharing...

Hugz and Smiles!
Love and Rockets!

My Dear Brother Poet Tony,

Oh powerful God, great Morpheus
When my time comes and I die
Save me from the River Styx
And take me to the sky

.
Purge my sins, and bring me sleep
Let me dream eternally
Release my Soul to distant stars
In this sweet Death you give to me

.
Peace, Love and Rockets,
Larry xxx

Dear Tony,

No.  You told me yesterday, but that's okay because it was enough to last me for a week.
