 ~REFLECTING MOMENTS~

A good death


angel Pictures, Images and Photos

The battle remains
and I will not surrender
I will not lie down
inside that wooden sleeve

For it is not yet my time

I am not ready for my death
nor for that absurd burial
for I will be lucid and burned

Abandoning all madness

My eyes will be peeled
and I will breathe

To the very last pull and push
of my fighting breath

Life has not yet eluded me

Just I feel suffering
that plagues the masses
I was and am tormented

I was shredded to pieces
by many hands of destruction

They were not forgiving

I gathered twigs and stems
for my coming end
for my fire of purity
as budding flowers were not giving

Would these please me
undo me and perhaps set me free
not just now

Too premature
I thought and made way

Give me brief emancipation

To know me is to understand
my internal Apocalypse
which I express inside
these passages

These words cannot be undone
and I weep knowing
that the chambers of my heart
have just found you

Carpe Noctem

Even if for just a moment
`neath a majestic cloak
lay me down

Hold tight the memory
 
Regretfully
yesterdays wood gatherings and I
will be tomorrows ashes
