Array ( [sid] => 17611 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Unbound [time] => 2003-05-15 15:05:00 [hometext] => Ever wonder what it would be like to watch yourself die? (Like an out-of-body experience... raptors & vultures would be the medical staff) [bodytext] => Raptors circle my lifeless form
I watch through hollow eyes
Surreal, as if in slow motion
No one hears my silenced cries

Please let me go
Just let me fly
It will all end in the blink of an eye

A translucent wraith watching from afar
Tethered to this earth by a gilded chain
As the vultures fight over my broken body
I realize that I feel no pain

Just let me go
Please let me fly
Let me bid this suffering good bye

The longer I tarry and observe
My shadow turns a lighter shade of gray
The gilded chain grows thinner as time ticks slowly by
I yearn for the severance of this chain, just let me fade away

Please let me go
Just let me fly
This life will end with one last sigh

Release ultimately arrives on wings ablaze
The phoenix will rise again
Lingering, I've become an apparition
The Reaper has sown me, Amen.

Style, style, great idividual style. And it's poetry, not just a jumble of eloaborate phrases. (this is only ther second one of yours I've read. Give me a couple of days and I'll have read the lot.

There's a contradiction in the last line is it deliberate?

I expected
"The Reaper harvests another soul..Amen"
