The Faith Not Standing

I never gave a thought to 
how I'd die
Nor live a life of gladness, 
love and peace
As sol'tude spreads uþon 
my slumbers, I
Am forc'd to consider a 
Time's decrease.

Some say the days are 
short and long, the nights
That breath in lasting, 
must be spent as well
Some say there lives a 
home for wrongs and 
rights
For rights, it's Heaven; 
wrongs reside in Hell.

I look onto my death as 
ev'ning-fall
Whenever Time dissolves 
and Fate retires
While wishing loss befall 
that potent call
I look onto my death as 
hungry fires.

Howe'er I die, I pray I'd 
live content
Or leave atleast, not 
minding where I'm sent.

Sonnet 40

Half-gun will travel on the western front,
Beyond brothels...gunpowder of debri.
Myself the man that blissful bulletts hunt,
As he that shoots has lost his wife to me.

From dusk 'till dawn my death deceives the day,
By sun and shadows guns illuminate.
So swift did summer sin a song to pray,
Upon that grave my spurs would gravitate.

Herdsmen and hoarses hearken to the hyme,
Of fire flushed from weaponry with flames.
And as I bled my heart did hold the crime,
Of loving her that shared her heart with games.

Wounded by way of weak and stubborn will,
Dying at dawn, death on this western wheel.

Death

Her head pounds.
The voices scream.
Death starts to drool with greed.
She doesn't want to die, but she wasnts to end it all.
Death is cunning, death is charming.
No more pain
No more screaming,
But death is also lieing.

Acid Tears Kiss of Death

let it rain acid tears let the kiss
of death take the life of anyone 
it comes so swift then goes the
same way the only chance to cheat 
your own death is your will to fight 
and your will to live with your
loved ones when the chains of death 
comes down on some they let 
self pity carry them away and slip 
away into a sweet surrender of 
eternal sleep so makes jokes about 
what they dont understand or are 
scared of what will you do when 
the time comes for your own
moment of truth let it rain acid
tears and burn the flesh right off
your very own bones then slowly 
dissolve bones and brains you have
when it starts let the kiss of death 
come and take away the pain and 
guilt of what you have done to me 
you are thinking when do these 
chains come off and set me free 
but in the mean time the chains 
are rusting and turning your 
skin and bones into nothing

Premium Member Death of Socrates

The Death Of Socrates
What reasoning has brought you to this place
where death destroys your gift of sanctity?
Before the fall of night, and in disgrace
yea, all those hating you, shall make it be;

they'll label you confused right to your end
corrupter of all teachers of the truth
convincing all the world, you have no friend,
and die for untold sins against our youth.

Your good and bad has brought you to despair;
all indecisiveness in what you think,
the crown upon your head, where once was hair
outshines the goblet from which you now drink.

     How can you bear this hemlock in such style,
      almost as if the world can see you smile?

Premium Member Life and Death

everyone preaches about life and death
as death is bitter sweet
bitter as a loved one is taken out of your life
sweet as leaving a memory of that loved one behind
we live learning about death and worrying when that day will come, 
but don't live life to live!

Romance Unto Death

Let’s romance

The idea of death

Pick up your rose

And tango with me among what’s left

 

Forget the living

She’s had her last breath

Let’s romance

About the idea of death

 

In existence all is done

And where the sun shines is a rainbows end

Let’s us now continue this dance

Unto the beautiful music called death

 

One more setting sun

Isn’t death romancing such fun

Forget we were ever Heaven sent

The idea is over now death be done

 

How romantic

The thought “A cowards escape”

Only to hold you now

Within a cold embrace

 

Let’s romance

About the idea of death

Pick up your rose

And tango with me among what's left

 

So romantic

Laying among this cold, cold shame

In a blackness

To the He it’s beauty one day I will explain

The Gate of Death

Once you have entered the gate there is no
turning back. Inside the gate lies mountains
crusted with black dust. Birds with bulging
eyes and unknown sounds that makes your
heart swell with fear.

Crackling of the ground below you with
lava pockets swelling from the ground.
Inside the gate is a garden of death just
waiting for it's oponet. Death awaits
and will challenge you into a death fight.

It will destroy you and bury you in the '
black dust of the mountains. You will 
melt and be tortured by the bulging
eyes of the birds.

Your eyes will be plucked like a feather.
And  your remains will be a prisoner
inside the gate until you turn to sand
and the gate of death will continue
to feed off your bones.
Form: Ballad

If Death Were An Object

If death were an object like a ball would it roll to the highest point and create
  evil destruction.  Or if it were a metal disk that could raise itself to the bitter ends
  of it's final destination. Death can appear in many different forms. Death could be
  like a song that lingers with beautiful melodies. Death could be a portrait with many
  faces and poses. Death can wait or death can watch. It might squeeze the life out
  of every precious opening until there is nothing but a hint of despair. 
                 But a sweet song of death can only wait and be subtle
                 and ease into your surrounding and gently choose you
                 to become the object in which it must collect.

Knowing Remake

Death by morning death by night 
All I know is I die tonight 
death is here death is there 
Death follows me everywhere 
Death is here death is now 
I already know that someone will drown 
I know that it might sound bad 
I know how I die and I'm kinda glad 
I know its comming I know its soon 
I know that it might be you
Knowing the truth and what I see 
weather its you or weather its me 
I guess we'll just have to see
In the morning if I awake 
Than I know it was a mistake
I know it is bad but I'm glad
It was you and not me 
The rest is fate can't you see
You might know in your heart
Of your death how it starts
But when it happens its not up to me
Its all fate can't you see 
knowing this and knowing that 
I am just stating fact. 




Death Lives For Death

He stands there, alone.  Alone, looking out. Looking out across the vast empty lands.
Lands now cold, dark, and void of life.  Life that had once stampeded through the continents.  
Continents that now were as lifeless as the moon.  The moon whose eye stared down in its 
socket in the heavens, at an empty planet that no longer was entertaining.  Entertaining 
now, only death.  Death, he stands there alone, finally.  Finally he has accomplished all that 
he is, all he had lived for.  Lived for, yes Death lived for death.  For death is the only life that 
he contains.  Contains, contains like the vast body of water, the sea, contains salt, cursed so 
it can never quench thirst.  Thirst, like Death thirsts for his own death, yet he lives on.  
Lives on and on.  On and On.  On and on.  on and on.

My Perpetual Fate

A Shadow, I am.
My silhouette is dark, my eyes are gray,
My footsteps; silent and gracefully gay.
I walk among fellow graves.
Death surrounding me.
Pity me not!
For exuberance holds my heart; not despair.
My life is beauty.
I do not lament death but embrace Her grasp.
She who begins new life and nurtures lost souls.
I envy, Her gift to guide the departed, Her beauty.
For in Death we are free & know all.
Death is not fear but beautiful darkness.
I embrace my perpetual fate.

The Bone Riders

Thousands upon thousands strong
covered in full battle armament
the riders most definately frightening
the stench of evil and death abounds
for these riders are of another world
not the living, but yet the the dead
for they dwell in the realm of the in-between.
The mounts upon which they ride
creatures too most evil and foul
throw fear into all they encounter
eerie red glows where eyes should be
a foul steam emits from nostril and mouth
in addition, thunder follows in their advance
with lightening around them ever present.
With every passing battle they lay claim
to more riders with which to further build their army
pour souls whose only wish is to pass
into the light, a most peaceful death indeed
with every ounce of courage they can muster
they strive to avoid these riders and their evil
with voices rasied unto the heavens, they pray
for good to prevail over this un-wordly evil.

Shakespeare Journal 2

a foul stench is in the mist  like from the graveyard foul despair, yearning pasengers dawn 
of the plague cast into a hollow grave  no on can mourn  their death for it be forboden to go 
near deaths closet less you want death to open the door and push you inside forever more 
walking the streets deathcarts in hand sadness leaks through the clumsiest bands of strength 
the families have no wonder why the death bestowes your glorious dome of gold and plunder 
just like a strike of lightning and the thunder to just to dialate the roughness of the dumb
