Seems it's a story
Of a girl always near-death
Through every attempt,
The loveliest metaphor,
A lie even I saw through.

Love Birds

Sparrows fluttering
One on top of the other
Uninterrupted

By the passing cars
In the middle of the road
Near death, unaware

Forbidden lipstick;
Detrimental to the soul
Powerful than any sword
A near death foretold;
Changes in lifestyle took place
Thanks to God's amazing grace

Beautiful Women Are Razor Blades

Beautiful women are razor blades 
They cut my heart into pieces
Yet they know not
how to stitch them together
But leave it bleeding
to near death each time

Near Death

Age, catatonically passed between
In its thinking processes
Doubt, and the most ghastly, Fear.
And will no angel edge up, to whisper
Death's so called realm, down-winging:
"Death is but heavenly near?"

Delipadated and Ill Fated

Delipadated and Ill Fated

Home I did see was so dilapidated,
To go into inside of it had hesitated;
Dog was near death
Taking a dying breath;
He died an the results were ill fated.

Saw this on a YouTube video.

Wilted Flower

Like a wilted flower in a field full of daisys
I stand alone, near death but still hanging on
I hang on so others can see my beauty and still be happy
but every flower has to die
and without love, care and attention
some die young

Jonah and the whales

Jonah, praying in the great fish,
with putrid slime on red eyelids,
has the sudden faith
of near death -
sings on the beach,
fish-vomit in his beard.

Whale-songs drift,
doubts echo, 
luring a pod to sand spits
where waves throw up  bones.

Will You Suffer At Your Own Hands?

Will you suffer at your own hands?
A disfigured figure, a broken body
All 206 bones exposed to my eyes
When you lie in your bed,
Do you visualize your casket?
You need nourishment as you near death
So, fill your body with life
And fill your mind with worth

Premium Member The Leaf

Do not mourn the leaf
nor seasons
mourn not starry night

everything sleeps

yet retains glitters of light

as it came to rest
on the forest floor,
speckled and brown
retains mulch appeal

near death, yet a fertile feel

Spring will bless

Winter will rightly regress --

Living Near Death

If I died right now who would know
Lingering slowly 
Slowly I would fade
Blackness consumes my conscious 
Sad everyday 
Lonely feels cold
Unreasonably cold and dark 
To feel another breath would create a story
If you could be mine
I would build a sandcastle with you
And live forever in it

Premium Member Near Death Experience

Moment of death, life force sucked out, that it’s the end, we have no doubt, being offered no time to think, for it’s over, in but a blink. Having survived this happenchance, what’s the way we now choose to dance? Are we as yet not overawed, that each life breath’s a gift of God? 11-June-2022

Premium Member Risen

When I was near death,
Though my mind was unaware,
It was then He had resurrected me.

When I died in another lifetime
Though such memories were soon forgotten,
It was then He gave me a rebirthing. 

When I die someday, yet again,
It will be then He reveals all my memories
Which were once many times left behind and forgotten.

Lakshmi

I see Her in the busy street
a glimpse, just the hem of Her light.
Once near death
I watched Her arriving our of a darkness.
In the park She bathes me with Her sunshine.
Lakshmi is not Her one name,
she has endless titles.
She named my tears, each one She named,
they glitter now, I see them at night
recreating Her beautiful face.

Premium Member You'Ll Belong

Stick around
Long enough
And you’ll belong
No song though
No set in stone
Alone so

You’ll find it here
No near death
Breath is all
Along you go
No show up yet
No neat next now
But how
You’ll belong
And long after
You can leave


Believe it or not
You’ll long for it
No fit no neat
Near nor
Just “or”
“You'll belong!”

Xenon Cry

Xenon cry, reverberator night It's either wounded near death Or calling out, the blurred lines Between hurt and lonesomeness Why it felt so cold Like the world face, turning to its fate? Where the ominous black pulls back its shaw Showing us where we will all end up Like the xenon crying out in a reverberating night

Premium Member My Heart and Soul

I love the way you look into my eyes,
As if you can see into my soul.
I love the way you kiss me as if you,
Can reach right into my heart,
Saving me from near death.
My life is a new given this,
Second chance to be with you.
I love the way you take me,
Into your arms making me feel safe.
But most of all I feel that I am finally home.

Premium Member PASSING STORM

Mysterious circumstance
Mature birth
Near Death
Number 7
Doctors had given up hope
Prayer saved the day
From Heaven being the way
The Lord himself
Clear and simple
No question about it
Thee himself
Doctors were misinformed
Thinking their own understanding
Life sustained
Fulfilling future that remained
Passing storm
Fruitful life.
