Death Is Knocking At My Door

What is this, What is this--
A Barrier to me!?
Why, something so silly--
Don't you know
Living is a Tease, Life is pain
I am the Ease.
My message is one of release--
Don't you know...
Wherever I go,
You will follow


               Death is knocking at my door

                                           5/24/'13


(For all those who lost their lives in the tornado in Oklahoma
 City, I pray their end was quick.)

Madelin Barton June 9, 2013 at 6:52 PM Hi Gabe great poem my friend. Gabe Shelly June 9, 2013 at 9:40 PM Thanks again. It means a lot, coming from a person whose poem I have also critiqued. But don't be afraid to throw some criticism in there.

John Posey June 1, 2013 at 7:59 PM Gabe, this one is special.... Any poet can recognize one that came from the heart. You had no choice. I believe this was one you had to right. Great Job, my friend.... Jake Gabe Shelly June 1, 2013 at 10:20 PM Thanks, and you are right, it did come from somewhere deep-- please keep reading. gabe
