Poem -
Oh Death
Oh Death, come and take me
Out of this maleficent world.
Bright and white wings you give me,
And rip me out from this curse.
Oh Death, come and hug me
Because I'm cold and alone.
Only your mercy could help me
Destroy my heart of stone.
Oh Death, come and tell me
Is it right or is it wrong
To hate life for being me
And wanting to die for so long.
Oh Death, am I being selfish
For praying to see the sun shining?
For my sadness to perish
And for the world to stop lying?
Oh Death, how much i want it to end
And to feel my lonely soul in your arms.
Our dark matter, slowly to blend,
And forever locket between your palms.

Hello Lorena...
You don't want to take the Journey First?
Obstacles?
The Mysteries?
The WOWS?
The Oops?
Think about it...
Give it one more day and...
Not before you count at least five blessings too...
Great write!
Thank you for sharing...

Hello Sparrowsong
The journey, I'm already on it. Doesn't feel fair yet, nor good, but for one thing I'm sure, all the mysteries and wows will be afterlife as I identify death as the final and infinitive destination.
I will give it not one day, but all the rest of my days to find the beauty of this chaotic life.
Thank you for kind words 🙏☺️ hugs 🤗🤗
As a fellow poet I am fully aware that poems about death and about wanting it are going to be written. Though I have not done so myself I have friends and family who, though not poets themselves, have experienced the very feelings you describe in your poem.
A very difficult write I have no doubt about that. But also a highly charged, emotional read. Among all the lines you have written, and they are without doubt very self exposing, there is one that stands out for me every time I read your poem, and I have done so many times. "Destroy my heart of stone."
I wish you only good things. Take care.
I know that this might sound weird or nonsense for other people, but I see Death as a comfort place.. I find myself feeling peaceful whenever I'm writing about it. Yes, these are real feelings... Harsh, maybe, in the eyes of other people. I respect everyone's opinions about it.
I expressed myself as "heart of stone" because of all the experiences in life that forced me into closing myself... Into crystalysing my emotions so nobody that's close to me will feel them.
Thanks for reading and enjoying. Sending hugs 🤗
No I don't find it weird. I understand. Thank you for your reply to my comment. Your comment about crystallising your emotions so nobody close to you will feel them. Can I just say that this feeling I totally relate to. Thank you for your reply. Take care and sending you hugs back. 🤗
Bravo! Lorena.
It's a huge courage to pen down your heart on internet.
I wrote one on depression some time ago from my own very experience, in the aftermath.
Best wishes,
