[hometext] => It's very morbid, for me. I haven't written anything like this for quite some time.
[bodytext] => I'll fall onto the roses,
Then bleed the hurt away,
Let the thorns pierce my skin,
And watch the day fade grey.
Wrap me up in the petals,
And smother me with scent,
Drop me in an early grave,
My life is almost spent.
Lock the coffin as you leave,
Then bury me alive,
Forget me as you walk away,
I don't want to survive.
So, rid your hearts of memories,
And don't recall my face,
Burn the pages where I wrote,
They no longer have a place.
...I'm almost caught in shadow now,
So wrap me up in flame,
The blood is burning in this shroud,
And I'm dying, all the same.
At least this way I know the ground,
Will be a friend to me,
And every spring above my grave,
Red roses there will be...

Yes the poem is somewhat morbid, yet that focus adds clout and potency to the message you are conveying in the write. The imagery is also very powerful.
Style is very effective for this poem.
Well done,
Will |

Excellent imagery. Deeply morbid. Hope it helps you work out whatever is hurting. Death is macabre and certainly never the answer. Well written piece, Philly.
Hugs,

Feelings of pain and hurt. WOW......this was a differ, write. In a sense morbid, it is. You gave lots of images. Seek deeper, and hope you will find a better answer that over comes.

As morbid as it is, it still ends with hope that you will be remembered, even though you say you want to be forgotten. Though you say:
Forget me as you walk away,
I don't want to survive.
You end it with:
And every spring above my grave,
Red roses there will be...
I like it, it was beautiful, Phil.
Take care.

Burn the pages where I wrote,
They no longer have a place.
Such powerful lines here Philly...This is a very strong and emotionally raw piece. It's full of a dark despair, and there's a finality to your words that is chilling. Love it! Great job here.
Scorp.

This is amazing. I love how you kept the tone at a certain angle until the end, making the final line wrap up the poem so beautifully. The vocabulary and power of some sentences really make this wonderful.
I loved it. This is fantastic. |
