it was fired
by accident
it doesn’t matter
the poor rabbit is dead
people need to be careful
if you are going to own a gun
the first thing to learn is safe usage

Calling Death
Calling Death
Just sitting in the room. Cold air comes from the window
Dawn woke me up from the cemetery. Great early lights
Calling the eternal life. The clock has stopped. It’s time
The heart is still beating. So fast. Pain and pressure inside
Need to change, change the time. Passed years. It’s global
All this life has gone away. A

Life after death
Death strikes with its wicked grin,
Deep grief and sorrow it brings,
Flights to heaven then begin,
When our souls fly without wings,
Each saint bears a halo ring,
They reign there as queens and kings,
With Angels near a calm spring.

No life, No death
Oh death
The fear of countless souls
I adore your kiss
I need you close
When will we meet?
When shall you come?
It's too long a wait
Please come tonight
I don't know you
I know life is a tsunami
Perhaps you can rescue me
Where shall we meet?
Oh life
The lover of the lifeless
I've honored your presence
I gave you my all
Why

The Colors of Nothing
In our universe so vast, life and death is an interpretation.
In our life, we hold dear sadness, and joy is an imagination.
Our life is full of colors, or so we assume,
But there are no colours — just the product of our brains.
Reality is beyond what we imagine.
What we see around is just an illusion.
Nothing is

I'm often asked if there is life after death
I'm often asked if there is life after death,
I say yes, there certainly is, like a secret hidden in the woods,
Death after life and life before death, an endless cycle,
Everything continues without stopping, a river of time that cannot be dammed,
We live forever and die forever, spirals of existence.
As for heaven and hell, they are

THE WAKE OF MANY LIVES
Take a look at what we see.
Out of mind, past the dreams.
A cataclysmic path to roads.
That carries secrets no one knows.
Like skin we shed all we dread.
Replaying lives once we’re dead.
Watching the air as we breathe.
Following madness into the sea.
Silence tells us don’t turn around.
Lest we see what’s heard in sound.
All connected, forced to divide.
Eternally

Corridors of Quiet Chaos
Blinding lights, the smell of chlorhexidine
Green colored scrubs, white coats and the strange red of povidone-iodine
A place where chaos and calm coexist as two sides of a coin
A realm where anguish and hope align, a balance between both cruel and divine
It’s a glimpse of hope for some, for others it’s a livelihood
It’s a place where

Life and Death
It was to be expected at some point
but when death comes it is still a shock
we wish that person could live forever
that we do not have to say goodbye
once they are gone we wish again
wish we could talk to them
wish we could still get advice
still have them in our life
but life carries on
one by one

Life and Death
Staring down your enemy, conquering your fear,
Shadowed by death, by cruelty and despair.
The sight before you; is the same as before,
Walking alone, down the same dark corridor.
The beauty of the world is reticent to your eyes,
Your worst nightmares are reality; you NOW realize.
Dazed and confused, you make for the tunnels end,
Only to find you’re at

Life and Death with Strangers
Mother, father, you are the strange migrants who arrived before me, I see you moving away, for no home anywhere could complete us all, and strangely, now I am before you. Sister, brother, child, we never did know which way to go,
or from where we arrived from. A family history is no more nor less

Simultaneity of life and death
The simultaneity
Of life and death
May appear as
A timeline of life..
This is simply
Just a story which
May tag time as an
Illusionary veil of
The simultaneity...

Of Life and Death
Of Life and Death
Before death's ominous thunder clouds appear
to steal all the glory and fill us with fear I shout to the heavens in a request to sustain one man's life to live another day
Inevitably high waters shall rise and slowly fade as I gain momentum to see another day
Of survive I
