Poem -
THE LAST GASP
Behind dead pupils
I can see your gaze
Looking so sorrowful I cried inside
As you sat at my bedside
Tubes in my mouth and nose
No blinks, motionless
An accident victim.. comatose
Fainted sounds I hear
Like a distant drum
Humming in my ear
At times, it sounds like
A stadium of people cheering
Other times, jeering
As I lay there without emotions
Straddling the fence
Between earths gravity
And the Twilight zone
I am all alone, sailing, drifting, falling
Endlessly..
No one else but me in this new reality
A reality without sound, no faces or life form
I am comatose drowning in my own blood
Read my tears.. and pull the plug.

Wow! Really powerful stuff Wilford. Your words paint a vivid picture in the minds eye.
An accident victim comatosed and in limbo.
The last line really packs a punch. Begging for mercy. Is it written from experience? Because you descriptions are so good. Pinned.
Very much enjoyed - Syd
Hi Syd.
This is not from my experience Thank God..
or anyone that I know..
just laying here and thinking what an experience like that might be.
A sad one of course, for the less fortunate.
I did one a while back about waking up from one.
But thanks for your support.
This got me 😢 amazing once again x

I must say..
when it's flowing it's very hard to stop my friend.
i normally write one or two poems a day.
but the floodgates are open... my mind won't let me be.
