Last Words

Write the words upon the wall

the forgotten poets final piece

tragic is, the poets fall

in which his heart did finally cease

Those most melancholy of words

which still linger and haunt us all

"live let live, let love, let die

from birth to the last rattling breath

I was a writer since my first cries

so here are the words i leave at my death

Forget me, for i am gone

but keep beauty alive

let stories, poems and play survive

cherish them for what they are

An escape from the wretched scars

that haunt the writers mind" 

And as he exhaled his last breath

he succumbed to the darkness and the death

and the poet was no more.

Author's Note
