Welcome

A Poem by M.Kilani

Take me eternal sleepiness

To the land of no horizon

To the edge of oblivion

Take me where no one can see

Where no one knows what she did to me

Not even her

To a place of no air

And leave me to age

A victim of my rage

And leave all hope aside

Sweet death and pride

At the land of sleepless sun

Where all her deeds are undone

And take a glance, a pause

The thorns that hide the rose

The beauty beneath agony

And ominous destiny

That leads me to my end

The honor I defend

All what was unguarded

And fools I disregarded

All to try to live

Forget and forgive

Oblivion and solitude

And a touch of disbelieve

Where the eyes none deceive

Tonight I willingly grieve

Tonight I’m willing to leave

Take me welcomed stranger

Left me as I bow

Take me to the land of the free

For death is the way to our awe

This sounds slightly similar to a combination of a Haiku and a sonnet.
'Take me eternal sleepiness
To the land of no horizon
To the edge of oblivion
Take me where no one can see'

These lines pulled me right in. Isn't that what we all want?

'The thorns that hide the rose
The beauty beneath agony'

what a strong, beautiful stanza.

The feelings that I interpret within the author are of nausea caused by hurtful memories, the longing to set the spirit and mind free from these memories. I also liked how flexible and free the rhymes were. Thank you for the read request. Keep writing. Salam.

No place is free. We must pay something. I believe we must return the gifts of love and kindness back.
"And fools I disregarded
All to try to live
Forget and forgive
Oblivion and solitude "
A lot of good questions raised in the poem. I like the ending to the outstanding poem.
