My Time To Die
Father, I wish to sleep so desperately
A long, dark, lonely 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
Cradled In death's mystical rest
Whose sinful fall has split us all
Into this troubled trespass
Where man's duality is woven by the seams
And sex woven into its twist
Where innate procreation's voice
Shames 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, thoughts angelic doves
And nothing is at it seems
Where we are understanding, and God does 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 comfortably
In my time to die...
Tony Taylor

Hi Tony A beautiful write almost reads like a prayer
it brought tears for me this conversation with god
To much to do here yet, before contemplating the afterlife
yet though dear friend
A great write love n hugs Debs xo
A poem of pure quality and reflection which demonstrates a willingness to tackle issues of substance others stay clear of.
Masterful in design and perspective my friend.
5 stars all the way ! Tremendous.
Take care. Hug.
Wow!!....This made me cry...Tony.....God know much we need you on this side....I can feel every word of this poem as it flows and touches the deepest part of one's heart....Nicely written
Lots of love....Rose
Hey, T, wonderfully written poem....I started writing a poem a few days ago about all the things I hate about 'death' and now I see this one, how odd is that?....honestly though, as a reader I don't hear a 'pro death' narrative...I suppose I may look at 'death' different than others here, I see it as a thoughtless sleep, not a destination; a suspension of life.... but I am aware that beliefs on this topic are deep rooted and somewhat of a 'sacred cow' for poets; so, so be it....the poem itself here is mesmerizing, your language is on another lever of excellence; I wish I could speak like this in everyday conversation, it has a Victorian feel to it that I enjoy hearing....this poem speaks to me of a blissful place full of peace and innocence, devoid of dark things; sounds like a beautiful place, sounds a lot like heaven, to me....in your own way you are describing the 'born again' experience spoken of in the bible; John 3, 1-15....I am taking my 'readers' liberty' in the interpretation of your poem, brother, I know, but in crossing the bridge from writer to reader, that is the message I got, in a very layered and beautifully written poem....and as a side note, not understanding why it isn't selected as a nominee for the 'contest' yet, just saying... anyway a tree can only be judged by the quality of the fruit it yields, this is quality work....be well, my friend....loved the pull quote line below, nothing short of profound....cheers
The baby smell with which I was born...
Hello Tony, This is unbelievable. Stirring and emotional, yet warm like a soothing bath. Your word choice is perfect and flows so beautifully. Truly loved this. All stars friend. Glad I stopped in. Hugs and Blessings, Rebecca
Moving piece Tony,

My Dear Brother Poet Tony,
The only problem with your title is that this is your time to live. For your powerful words sustain so many of your ardent followers. The only "dye" we want to read about you, is this spring, as you color Easter eggs for your progeny. We all must die eventually, but your subjects demand that you rule our poetic kingdom for eons to come.
Peace, Love and Rockets,
xox Larry
What a beautiful piece of writing! Well done, T. - Mimi.
This poem was so sad but yet so beautiful, you certainly know how to write and express your emotions, so powerful I loved it. I have felt the same many times, you are truly talented and such a great inspiration to many, poetry like this is very much valued to many, keep up the good work x
