My Mother Diedmy mother died,
i was to die with her.
that was the pact, you see,
my dad & i made together.
while my mother died,
i never left her side;
over & over calling her name ,
hoping to send a spark to the flame.
but still my mother died.
now i'm naught but a shell;
because the day my mother died
i cursed my soul...

The Electrician Without A License
There’s an
Energy tag on my big toe
“Zapped to death:” it says
I’m a “John Doe”
A lightening bolt
Sent my soul a jolt
Into the next dimension
Permanently disabled and
Unable to be grounded, you see
Living life on the edge can be fatal
I don’t even know who I am
I...

Dweller of our heart"The essence in us is the same as the essence of the sun”
Dweller of our heart
A sun went out, a silent, sudden night,
and left a shadow where once there was light,
For in our chests, a solar flame still burns,
A borrowed heat that twists and gently turns.
The essence in us is the same as the essence...

Withering HeightsO breast, broke and bruised, hide your hollows
Tho tears will fall, the night will call,
Calling, calling from the shadows
Beam beckons, bent orb, O twisted smile
Ego chipped, firmly gripped, gripped denial,
Falling, falling far amongst the shadows
Woe, withered, worn, wind whispers
Tragically, torn, torn and twisted,
Wallowing, wallowing in the shadows
White light, a new day born, still, I'm...

The Last Five Senses '1
By~Krish
I opened my eyes
and the air was a still lake
that would no longer ripple for me.
My breath was a whisper,
a moth beating tired wings
against the glass of existence.
They stood beside me,
their tears pooling like rain
in the fragile valleys beneath their eyes,
and I knew,
by the tremor in their silence,
that I was already leaning
across the border...

Watch Me FallI took another pill today
To take the blinding pain away
I drifted into loneliness
The only friend I'll never miss
I walked the line so I could see
A spec dust to set me free
Sadistic how I'm suferring
This night between us, buffering
I took a tab at half past two
Can't you see I'm using you?
I'm drifting into waves of bliss
They...

I would let him dieI would see him die, rather than saving him.
I don't know what his life could be after he dies, or if he would be saved.
If someone dies, that person is remembered, would be praised for his good deeds, or criticized for words he never meant in that way.
But I will have the thought that he...

Milady’s Love
Milady, you were always loved
For twenty-five years, the people honoured you
They believed you were one of them
Not either royalty or nobility
Just the same as they were
But you had someone loving you who you did not know
No one knows anything about it
Just that it arrived on the day you were buried
Milady, it must have...

Death is BeautifulDeath is beautiful if comes after
All the pains,all the downfalls ,
It's beautiful when holds laughter
Of death embracery,conquest on false.
It's very beautiful if it melts
The heart made of stone,
When body embraces peace, lets
Go to soul, life never remain in bone.
When human n't remain dangerous,
When he becomes most calm thing,
The selfishness, when only ridiculous,

Roses are Red, Violets are BlueWhen roses are red and violets are blue,
each is a lovely, sentimental hue.
But the color of blood is also red,
and now my love, as you're gone and dead,
the color of velvet is tinged dark-blue,
and I still cry through my tears for you....

Where the wildflowers growWhen i die,
Lay me by
Where the wildflowers grow
Then as I lay,
You can pray
For my presence to ‘round you flow
And as winter calls,
And the ice falls
And makes my grassy mound rise with snow
Let spring bloom,
Flowers on my tomb
Grow in the sun’s heat and the wind’s gentle blow
As summer rises,
Bringing heat to new sizes
And away my spirit...

As I dim the lights and close my eyes to rest
