Climbing down

I've carried time like a coffin — an eternity.
Feels heavier than dark gravity
Devotion that cruel peculiarity;
in me, it shattered — clarity 
now it's just deathly polarity.
Structured, then... infirmity
Silence bloated with verbosity!
Thank you expendability
to reach low generality;
close my chest cavity
With immensurability,
blessed by fate's absurd 
decree I kiss the 
edge of certainty.
My unthinkability —
death offers no pity,
It's just a bullet 
labeled tragedy.
To me...
Finally

Death is but the vehicle that takes us home. Only your body will die, not YOU. Trust, you will feel 'heavenly', better than you ever did inside your body (pardon the heavenly pun.) For me the sadness is the thought of leaving my son and possibly my beloved man here without me. It was healthy for you to spill your issues with death, therapeutic and your fears are certainly very 'human'. A deep emotive write, Scorpion man. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Someone told me once the best self therapitizing you can do is writing. Her word not mine, but she is absolutely right! I appreciate the hug :) A.S.

I would not take kindly to death chasing me down, but to it's end I cannot claim neutrality. Great use of ending sounds, Scorpio.

Certainly not a desirable race to lose, the finish line might be at a different location, but every single one of us will cross it. I appreciate the kind words very much. Thank you Lin! A.S.
