Death's Door

I sit Alone
At the borders of damnation
No place to call home
No prayers for salvation

The Moon
Bright red and full
The end is soon
The end, so why rule?

Judgement Day
Lay moments away

Phantasm

John Gray

04 Apr, 2014 11:55 PM
You are not human;
you are a poltergeist
trapped in a meat suit.
Tea leave salves,
moonlight strolls,

these calm your restless spirit.
You possess a skeleton
but you are not made of bones.
Cartilage fades without you,
flesh slips away,
blood solidifies a corpse.

Death

nicholas johnson

12 Feb, 2013 08:41 PM
Dark were the world if o'er its gloom
The gospel light had never dawned,
Hopeless our fate if through the tomb
We saw no better world beyond.
 
The smile of earthly gladness fades
Destined to swift and sure decay,
Disease this mortal frame invades
And leaves but cold and lifeless clay.
 
So brief is life--a few short years
Measure this fleeting transient breath,

Disappearing

Kerry Valkyrie Baldock Kelly

17 Jun, 2015 01:59 PM
I shrunk a little bit more today,
My opinions mattered a little bit less,
A little bit more than yesterday,
Perhaps it's for the best!

I shrunk a little bit more today,
No one noticed the agonising pain,
A little bit more than yesterday,
I think i've gone insane!

I shrunk a little bit more today,
The people I love no longer see me,

Brevity

Andy

06 Feb, 2016 07:22 PM
Numbed,
My fingertips glaze across rain-soaked granite,
And a chill sinks into my bones,
To match the petrified ruin where my heart once beat.
For this is the only caress I can give you now,
A distant embrace
That will always yearn for true release.

I place a single, rain kissed rose against the stone,
Fragile red on cold hard grey.
Unbidden memories reduced to brevity
Gouge my every breath with memory’s shards,

Cruel Embrace

Kerry Valkyrie Baldock Kelly

17 Jun, 2015 02:01 PM
Rose from deep sleep by the sounds of a crackling log fire,
Captive in a medieval castle lodged between loney, forested, mountains,
Sunset and dusk streaming through the high window,
A prisoner tenderly kept, washed and dressed in soft pearl linens,
Oak posts surround the gargantuan bed draped with thick, pure nets.

Echoes of nightmarish wolves shrieking in the distance terrify my ears,
A crimson mat lays on the heavy wooden floor, candles glint over the hearth,
Shadows stretch above me and disappear, fading into the night,
I am fatigued, unable to move, held by lustful mesmerisation,
Fear flows through my filial veins, You must smell the blood.

Deaths Embrace

Tom Hanno

22 Feb, 2014 12:43 AM
The sweetest release in life, is also the last
Death's Embrace cures all ills, and eliminates all cares.
Be not afraid of death, cherish it, embrace it, love it
For it is the final cure to everything in this world that causes you pain.
I long for that final release, to feel my hearts final beat, and to feel my life leave my body.
When it does come, and come it shall for we all must eventually face Death, 
I will fall readily into her arms, and cherish her loving arms wrapped around me.

TRAPPED IN THE BLACK

Lance Barnwell

20 Mar, 2014 11:31 PM
I'm so alone, but there's no way back
If you can hear me, I'm trapped in the black
He came to see me, the uninvited guest
And with his scythe he crushed my chest
Then he mocked me with his slow hand clapping
As I lay there, my last breaths gasping

I fell from life to a place called dead
The lights went out, but my pneuma fled
If this is the norm I cannot tell
I'm not close to heaven, but near to hell
There's no ticking clock, no time to gauge

Suicide Spring

Austin Jones

29 Apr, 2015 07:26 PM
The night is over 
The sun is rising 
over the horizon
But I shall not  live 
To see the day

For I have reached 
My final destination
A spring, A lake
My favorite lake 
In my  favorite woods

Disappointment.

Pride Ed

27 May, 2014 05:00 AM
like when I saw them
 falling. 
 Shot out of the sky,
 gun still shooting astral wings, 
 smoke still churning from the barrel,
 and I hate that I see it linger 
 longer than the last breath they inhale. 

A child breathes that air. 
 That air means
 gas to those useless 
 childhood thoughts;
