Best Saddeath Poems
The moon rises to see nothing
Everything empty, with only the wind left
Desolate despair reaches into an eternity
Vanquished 'till death they part in the shadows
The stench of death billows and furls
Suffocating like a blinding fog
Rolling in and out of consciousness
I wander in this desolate I called ''home''
Now I look upon the wasted remains of things once familiar
Love and hatred mix into one
The burning desire to leave and never come back overcomes
Will-power lost inside; buried beneath
The sights I envision are all I have left
Nothing exactly as it used to be
We built upon everlasting sorrow
Making new out of old and discarding the rest
But as I dwell in ancient memories, I stop
Something is missing in the dreams I encounter in sleep
But there, the memory is uncovered in the blackened mist
Now I may lose myself in never-awakening slumber...
Sometimes death it calls to me, like a welcomed beckon in the night.
A way to end all the miserery, a way to escape this stress and freight.
But of this call I do not answer, I can not meet death at its door.
The pain it would bring to all those I love, this is a pain I can not give,
This is a promise that I swore!
Her death has caused us all to pause and think
My husbands heart has begun to sink
into the depths of despair
pausing to catch some air
never regaining total control
his mother’s death has taken a toll.
Eyes so blue, they’d light up the day
in everything she had her way,
Seven children she carried in all
before her death two were to fall.
Her life at times was very bleak,
but never could one call her weak,
she stood for what she believed in,
whether in goodness or a sin.
Daughter, Wife, and Mother to all
although she is gone she is not lost to all
Her spirit resides deep within,
her friends, kids, and grandchildren.
A woman I was glad to know,
for me her presence will always show
in the strength of my daughter as she grows,
strength she gained from a woman, she hardly knows.
Love, the most beautiful torture.
I dreamnt of, the time when you were her.
I'll steal the diamonds, that sparkle in your eyes.
The haunting winds, see through her lies.
You're so blind, for it's my turn to sneak.
Too many times you've whined, now she's too weak.
Laughing at your despair, crying at her pain.
No longer do I care, as you leave your blood stain.
Can't you be quiet, your screams make things worse.
Her inner riot, inspires this verse.
Why the tears, weren't you so strong?
Those haunting years, relive in this song.
I tried so hard, to help you live.
I'm left so scarred, for you're so abusive.
So now I hope you see, that death is near.
You've messed with me, so welcome this fear.
She's not real, for she's a demon in disguise.
So much sorrow I feel, watch the horror in her eyes.
All the things you do, are killing me slowly.
Watch the death through, then you'll see.
We're all getting older, yet you refuse.
Your heart growing colder, for she's left to abuse.
This fire burns, no one can stop me now.
As the tide turns, the pain I can't allow
Two bullets, straight to her head.
No one forgets, for now you're dead.
I watch the crimson, flow from her body.
Now I'm done, with this animosity.
Why do you stoop so low, what have I done wrong?
Am I the last to know, why you've lived so long?
I have no control, time for you to leave.
The demon without a soul, bids you not to breathe.
Time to repay for the heart you stole, death'll help you believe.
This museum is a mausoleum
The stench of decay assaults you at the door
Permeates your clothes, your skin
And sinks into the floor
Clear coffin cabinets
Proudly present their dead
For the private pleasure of public eyes
In decorative death shrouds they sleeping lie
In oak and iron beds
An entomologist’s dream
Preserved and pinned back tight
Neat little labels
Green felt canvas, dim light
An orchestra of exotic insects
Wood, wind, brass, bone
Mouths gape lamenting
In a silent secret moan
The death bell toll resounds
As a widow’s wail, and sings
Of supple breath through tender lips
And nimble fingers on cupid’s strings
In an arid crack-lipped rasp
They chant the cold refrain
‘We are as flame fodder masterpieces,
And worm fodder saints’
No one ever said, I knew the way.
The spinning thoughts in your head, threw me away.
Congratulations my dear, despair has been lost.
We've done away with fear, oh but to what cost?
I can't seem to believe, what happened was true.
Were we so naive, to let sorrow take you?
Deep within my thought, I bleed as you cry.
The fires I fought, help the world die.
Now I prepare, to make death unrelenting.
Why do you no longer care, as my loves tormenting?
One day lovers shall dream, not of the undying pain,
but of the silent scream, of those who refrain.
Before I die, I've seen and angel fall.
I shall not shy, away from Death's call.
I'll not continue to cry, for I will have seen it all.
Dying lights, put out the faltering flames.
These last few nights, have no one to blame.
Please keep me hidden, from the sight of a loved one.
Through Hell I've ridden, hearing as Death was sung.
All the choices I've made, it was never enough.
The fire never should fade, no matter how tough.
Dying is your latest fashion, for we've never come back.
In the heat of passion, shall your wits attack?
I kissed your lips, you broke the truce.
The foothold slips, down comes the noose.
The end comes near, I can hear the tune.
You succumb to fear, for you know the end is soon.
Demons within can't be held longer, as they release their devious howl.
Just be a little stronger, and we'll fight it with a growl.
A withered past, and a bleeding future.
Time moves so fast, as I finally lose her.
You stole my heart, yet I had it first.
If we fall apart, may your scorned heart burst.
I seal my scars with my Fear,
In my Heart I feel so Scared,
Fear my Death with every Breath,
I Feel my Pain within in my Breast,
In my Heart Death is MEET.
Screaming and dying, running and hiding.
Now you're crying, for Death is riding.
God has spoken, I have no say.
Now I'm chokin, this is my final day.
The death toll, grows ever higher.
I've lost my soul, to the highest buyer.
Right now is killing time, can you escape.
Now hear Death's rhyme, for your soul we rape.
I feel the rage, as blood starts to pour.
You turn the page, as I beg for more.
Now I'm gone, do you feel the pain?
Can you move on, or does this drive you insane?
Can you feel the mercy, take you by the hand?
Or do you spit on me, from where you stand?
Darkness, my eyes are forever bleeding.
This wasteland filled with horrid starkness, this pain I'm not needing.
Breathe for me, so I see the sorrow.
Kill me slowly, there is no tomorrow.
Once again the same thing on your mind, hatred...
I can now find, the horrors you did.
Fighting once more, only making things worse.
You left me so sore, with your final curse.
Now all your acts, have finally been repaid.
How do you react, when it's your turn to be afraid.
Your love is ice cold black hate never pounding with the breath of life and love that is so unconditionally wasted by
ignorant human specimens red lights flash you take it away stop breathing say no more you useless scum obsessed
with death Death the man no longer living feeding off the cries and souls of ones once loved but your all the same
love nothing deep down your just as ignorant as the rest self-absorbed useless nothing your nothing but a toy a doll
being controlled by strings of the Mighty One you may so ignorantly say there’s a God but when you narrow it down
it’s Death the taker of life so don’t be so ignorant and waste your limited minutes ticking away with every breath.
There is a man standing in the rain in a cemetery in front of his deceased wife's gravesite. He appears to be crying. Her death occurred years ago and left him with everlasting grief. He is resigned to this fact so everything he sees and hears casts him further into this state of mind.
This day is no different than all the previous times, except this time, the rain, a bird and a sound of bells contribute to his continued descent.
The rain concealed the tears he shed today.
He cried this way so many times before
but always alone. No rain can wash away
his anguish, anxiety... nevermore!
A tiny feathered harbinger alight
her stone and cocked its head. A drop of rain
upon its beak that seemed to weep in sight
of him, a tear; then takes to flight again.
A distant tintinnabulation from
a church’s belfry pealed so mournfully.
He muses: fleeting wings of death had come
and taken from me so prematurely
my lover, leaving only heavens tears
to drench my heart with sadness all these years.
The day momma died.
I held her to my bosom, and then I cried.
Silenced by death this mother I love.
She’s there in her mansion with our Savior above.
She left just a short five months after I had accepted the Lord.
Father she deserves peace for this life down here was terribly hard.
Her and our pastor baptized me in the sunny month of May.
Scared to death of deep water, she climbed into that pool anyway.
And when my head came up from the water, I saw that look in her eye.
She said I’m ready now for my Savior, I knew she was saying good-bye!
All those years that she prayed this was her day.
The joy in that beautiful face what else can I say.
I love her so much and I miss her even more.
As my mind takes me back to that day I found her lying on her kitchen floor.
Without the Lord on my side I don’t think I could have bore that sight.
Momma I can still feel your arms around me, holding me tight.
My wife loved her so their love had tremendously grown.
Like a mother loves a daughter their love truly shown.
You were more than a mom, and a friend, you were also our pal.
The Lord got Himself a mighty good gal.
Love you Mom!
Yesterday is a part of me
That only time can now erase
Tomorrow holds the future
An uncertain and empty place
A smile is easily wiped away
I am proof of this event
I begged the angels to show you mercy
But they simply wouldn't relent
Taken away before your time
Leaving me, with the broken pieces
A heart that aches both day and night
And a loneliness that never ceases
A promise fufilled, "'Til death do us part"
Words, that I took for granted
I said I will but it came too soon
For my heart was still enchanted
A piece of me too, died that day
We never got to say goodbye
'Til death do us part still means Us
I'll love you till the day I die
The demon hides off the corner street
Listening to the little scrambling feet.
Only the purest can fill its need
An appetite for blood, transfusional greed.
Once for love a second for joy
Thrice to end the lovely boy.
The blood of life an ecstatic swirl
Its next victim will be a girl.
Life passes through the devils brigade
Allured to death in silent serenade.
Handsomeness transmogrified the sinister treat
Darkness awaits the children of the streets.
Pestilence in vivo death ensemble
God of Hades sacred evil.
Devils sibling unnaturally defiled
Feeds on the loving tender child.
Once to tempt a second to please
Thrice to rest the heart at ease.
Tonight the little ones feel the curse
Tomorrow to sleep within the earth.
Beware the night behold the screams
The demons tarry on all hallows eve.
The heart is strong the mind is meek
Darkness awaits the children of the streets.
