FINAL CURTAIN
In this life, one thing is certain; One bet you can put your shirt on. However pure a life we lead, We’ll all face that final curtain. A fact of life we all must heed, Whether judged to fail or succeed. It makes no difference in the end. Dying will be our final deed. If good, they say we may ascend To heaven, whilst...

Premium Member When the final curtain softly descends, and the echoes of my days retreat
When the final curtain softly descends, and the echoes of my days retreat, I want to whisper to the wind that all my life, I was a bride betrothed to amazement, In the silent embrace of dawn's first light and the whispered secrets of twilight. I was the bridegroom, holding the world in my eager arms, feeling its...

Final Curtain
Long time I stood In the middle of a crossroad Trying to find my way On the shades of black and gray I found ups and downs and plains And humps as big as mountains I found muds and puddles And I jumped through countless hurdles For the tides of time are cruel Like sickles that rip...

If This Beauty Shall Be My Final Curtain, Let It Be Dropped Slowly - Repost
` Parched and dry, this barren field stretches, I wander, head hung low, staring at the emptiness eclipsing my thoughts Brittle blades of grass disappear beneath my worn out sneakers, black and white crushing beige in slow fashioned footprints of blistered dust “My sanity for some cool water” When upon my shoulders, reddened by solar intensity, wet from exerted energy, comes a breeze as if...

No encore demanded, I stand alone No applause as I hang up my ‘microphone’ But what do they care, for no empty chair Has ever acknowledged good tone I took to this stage in a different age I think then, the Stones were the rage Yet, I’ve appeared here, daily for years And sung like a songbird uncaged But this, my last bow,...

THE FINAL CURTAIN It is appointed unto man once to die --- what then? and as the throes of death o'ertake me, will I enter some celestial place? If so, will I sojourn for eternity or be floating out in space beyond the firmament? Will my body lie in sweet repose...

The Final Curtain
We each seek for solace Amidst a port in a storm Some insist to even curse The very day they were actually born Others listen in silence amidst the violence Sought a peace from two different worlds One soul soars while the other one burns Each of us wanders as nomads Life is made up with little moments We remember are past but forget...

My Final Curtain Call
I'm sorry momma. I'm sorry father. I couldn't be the man you raised. You instilled me with morals and values, from which I chose to stray. I chose to leave those college days, just to be on the streets stuck in my stagnant ways. Little leagues games that I always use to play. Back when you could stand to look into my eyes and...

I will soon forget the laughter that I could give when life felt so right When the last curtain does fall there will not be an encore I stand on my mark Dust motes float in the spot light I curtsy left, right There is no applause to hear No one to see the last...
