destined to lose

Please listen as you read



could it be that death is waiting..
by the door?

to unlock my tangled heart
and receive my troubled soul?

Am i ever to see that light?

or would i be thrown
into the darkest abyss of all.

don't get me wrong....
my wish isn't to die!

It's just the path we've all chosen
something we cannot control.

we're all going there someday
so why bother let it take so long?

But still we stay...
hanging by a thread
to the life we so firmly hold
so scared to lose the fight
though we know
destined to lose
we are after all......

I think the music threw me off, but I don't know. I felt like my chest was crying and I wanted t dance with you so badly.... so badly!! The music is STILL playing and I find myself still wishing these things that I do not own; my feelings, my thoughts on poetry and your beautiful page, and why I write... What a beautiful touch, my Aurora has when it seems that so easily you tempt the very thought of what births our dreams and simple tasks to avert them for selfish reasons. One should think that by listening to you in poem, that we ALL feel Loved, and are transported to walls with no borders, and borders where there are no rules to apply to all. I get to drift in these places with you, when reading you, and I find you to be of a most ageless and romantic heart, far beyond your years on Earth!! This world cannot be that cruel that I am not able to meet you in the latter years of my life. It CAN'T be that cruel to meet a poetess I LOVE in poem past the very words she performs across her pages... The music still plays and I am with you in this poetic dance, and selfishly wish it not to end..... Forgive me, Aurora. : ) So precious are the few that we come to know, that hopefully in this life on monsters and angels... ones will peek and gather our interests to hold and keep us in their forever if we are to be so lucky!! Can I be such a person to be allowed to know Aurora in her future?!! : ) Beautiful poem.... my goodness. I had freakin' tears in my eyes and I didn't DARE wipe them because you put them there. They were yours....

knowing some one through their words is some times deceitful my dear Mark ;)
be careful of it, lol i'm just teasing you.
i started the song and felt myself dancing with you selfishly too XD it felt good
i'd never put tears in your eyes, never even try to put in anyone else's it pains me, wipe them dear Mark, i want to be remembered for the laughter not for the tears :)
truly,
xoxoxoxoxoxoxo- Aurora

All that "emotion sharing" and I forgot to tell you how I reacted to your poem. lol If we are destined to lose, and feel such a way wash over us, we are doomed to fill such role... I know a lot of what you write is exaggerating certain moods and fantasies for telling a great story or setting up a really great question to ask ourselves, but that is the mystery and the Love: Aurora!! Hope springs another day; the days where we let down a guard a bit, and enjoy the energy of those who surround us. ....I am still dancing with you and wish to for as long as you shall allow, Aurora!! xoxoxoxoxoxxoxxooxoxoxo My "xo's" are longer!! *sticks tongue out and giggle* ...great poem. Beautiful Aurora.... -Your Mark

So perfectly worded! It's so true how we desperately hold on to every second of life, even though we know in the end we will die. You took this common truth and turned it into something beautiful. Great job!

The most alive I ever felt in my life was in fire fights. Great poem and a beautiful song. Outstanding job Aurora.

very good...Of course we all know of our mortality....We are living in the wrong age if we want to live forever.....

I suppose it is what we do with this limited gift of life that matters

[Salar Majak]
