Death Comes But Once!

Dying. It strokes subsequently pleasant.
Every bravado within my essence tingles
And burns. My last few breaths point
Toward the doors of Hell. Only God, knows
Heaven will hurt me.
 
Cast me for longed into the bowls of Satin’s
Oath. Watch my skin bleed, Blood and  
More blood, just open up and let Hell
Eat what is left, what is not yet dead.
Sins, sex, pain, hurt, and dirt, will

Bury my body over the flames of
Uttermost chaos. I was a tortured man
Trying to live on Earth, Heaven sent me

Out, hell took me astride and
Now sadly I know, Death
Comes But Only once.
Eternity shall give me peace, Death Comes But Only Once.

whoa, reading this made me think of so many meaningful and deep thoughts of life. This poem is magnificient! Definately I'm quite impressed! =)
Death does only come once but this made me feel at peace yet it's so moving at the same time. The pain...the agony of this poem... it's just.. so.. I can feel the ache! this is truely a wonderful poem that's quite powerful. Sometimes being a hurt, tortured soul can have so many experiences that no one can see nor even imagined a person going through such things. I loved it. Splendid write!!!

- ... just open up and let Hell
Eat what is left, what is not yet dead.
Sins, sex, pain, hurt, and dirt, will ...

i can so much relate to what you have poured out.This piece can only be created by tortured soul whose depth have reach the unlimited black hole.
Thanks for sharing.

Rather too violent for me, but I´m sure fans of this genre will like it.

third stanza do u mean Satin or Satan....small oversight if i am correct, or maybe u meant it to be that way.

Hell is everywhere, on Earth, in our lives, our minds. Love the line, "Only God, knows Heaven will hurt me." Dark and intriguing, great write.

[Amila Jay]

death may come once but in reality we die every day, like the end of the day, we are gone, and tomorrow is a new day.
This is a great poem:)

[Margaret Marie Hubbard]

Very dark, but true....I like it!

Your words are true. Death will come once. I like the way you described the journey and the possibilities. Thank you for the outstanding poem.
