Premium Member In Her Eternal Sleep
The river flows, carrying her
Away from earth  out to somewhere---
Bird-music groans as  harsh wind blows-
Carrying her, the river flows.

The gulls above cry ,that for now
My fingers shake like leaf to bough,
Beneath the melancholy sky
That for now. the gulls above cry.

This eternal sleep, when...

In Eternal Sleep I Will Find Thee, Julia
As fiery beacons 
Blaze
And cut through the
Night;
As restless sleep
Doth so tax and
Trouble me;
And I hang upon 
A promise:
That my love
For thou
I did most fervently 
Swear unto thee!

As icy comets roar
And sail against
The galactic tides, 
Their streaming tails
Lingering upon a
Solar wind,
I will grasp
This one last chance...
To...

The Eternal Sleep
I will close my eyes
and a last more sigh
now no more dreams
just the truth will gleam
you will be with me
and I will be with you
till the nights are dark 
and oceans are blue
let my heart shout
and my lips be sealed
let my emotions burn
and my body...

Eternal Sleep in Peat

At least a thousand years
since he lost hope
His features spoke, not of
the strangling rope
that robbed his breath,
but of a sleep, as deep as death
And peat preserved
is evidence, far sharper 
than a photograph,
not yet invented,
his face, the same as one
who rested on his...

The Road To Eternal Sleep
It enters one's life quietly; as silent as
the falling snow: the need for a few
additional hours or minutes of sleep.

As the years progress and the hair takes
on a silver sheen the bones and muscles
that sprang into action so readily in one's
youth now yield to the...

Premium Member The Pathway To Eternal Sleep
Death is the pathway to eternal sleep,
where souls slumber in everlasting peace.
Gatherings of friends and family weep
when earthly connections suddenly cease.
And memories cause tear flows to increase
as broken hearts honor the soul's release!

Death is an angel, not an ugly thing;
you'll never feel thirst or hunger...

WAITING FOR ETERNAL SLEEP

The journey began with sunrise promise
On the garden path of beautiful life,
The flowers bloomed, destiny in disguise
Brushed calm colors on the drab times of strife.

The path at edge of horizon unclear
I traveled for long, exhausted and thirsty,
The music of the setting sun...

Eternal Sleep
Eternal sleep! cozy and might,
the morning in Eden's bright,
canopy of happiness, sieving joy's light.

Touch of freedom, kiss of esteem
pumping all back , fair redeem! 

Sweet,sweet sleep,
never on this land again, to rise and weep.

Slit on throat, kiss of blade
A garland around the nape,
driven by sorrow,poison...

Eternal Sleep
Sleep comes to her as she closes her eyes
 From this sleep she shall never wake
 Peace she brings to those she hurt
 Happiness comes to those whom hated her
 Pain comes to those whom loved her
 In this sleep she dances with her father

Eternal Sleep
I hurt so badly
The pain is deep
I cry at night
I cant sleep
my stomachs knotted
I cant eat
my chest feels heavy
I cant breath
I feel desperation
I feel despair
I feel im slipping
No one cares
I take this blade
the cut is deep
I rest my eyes
eternal sleep...

THE ETERNAL SLEEP

On the meandering course laid on the landscape of life, 
journey began with promise to reach the vale of flower.
The voyager chasing remote butterflies in dreaming air 
flew elated on the feathered wings of ecstasy awhile.

On the uphill path at the edge of...

Gloriously Luxuriating In Eternal Sleep
Gloriously luxuriating in eternal sleep

Forlorn; bereft of golden
(slippered) opportunities I weep;
Three score and four years
replete with mailer daemons,
hence mindset adrip
with self denouncing expletive filled bleep
unwritten expressed recriminations
wielded upon figurative head of wimpy blip;
decades elapsed at light speed clip
as the world turned days of mein kampf

predicated victory videre licet lunatic
if Trump trumped Kamala Harris
and stole 2024 presidential election,  
(whereat Musk bribed 
significant number of voters
handing out wads of cash)
courtesy underhanded modus operandi
and devious and sinister schemes.

Forlorn; bereft of golden

Eternal Sleep
Written: by Miracle Man
12-19-2019

Twas not destination that he pondered deep,*
As he lay supine upon his bed that night.
But journey that would take him to eternal sleep,
This alone seemed to trigger his fright.

Some feast on life leaving hardly any waste,
While others face death with plates...
