Death's Embrace

Death's Embrace sometimes seems so sweet, so warm, so serene... But there is more to it.

D eath's

E  mbrace

A  tender kiss of passion

T  he sweet deliberation of pain

H  ot relief of misery

 

 

The tears blind my physical eyes

All that is left in my view

Is my soul, lain bare

Before me.

Before me...

There is the despair

That has brought me here

And threatens to steal my reason

 

Death; a serene pool of peace it seems

An embrace of pure love and calm

Insanity blinds even our mental eyes

To the fierceness of Death's truth.

 

Only, oh, if only

We would make the effort of contemplating

Further than the barriers of our despair

We would visualise the beauty that

This world holds as well.

For Death is the relief of the physical body,

But a burder for our lost soul.

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

Spontanious words that I often think of- how do you feel about Death?

[The DuchessPoet]

Young lady, I'm a young poet because I haven't been writing for very long but my earthly presence exceeds you by 45 years !
Let me be more specific... I'm approaching 50 and you are 15 years old!
Back in my youth I taught high school students but it has been a long, long time since I've read such insightful depth in an individual that has only lived 15 years!!!!
That has only had a short span of experiences, let a lone the comprehensive understanding of life!
Your mode of perception is more than amazing to me ... it's fascinating!
You have an incredible talent and I hope you will continue to pursue your craft! I know that your parents are beaming proudly!

****Me too, because I'm proud to have an opportunity to witness a young mind function at it's BEST!

Keep up the GOOD work!
Though I don't know you I'm very proud of your talent!

Very good write!
Awesome!!!

Sincerely,
The Duchess...

Deeply moving and profound, viewing death so differently from the fearful appearance of so many. Brings about a more mystical world of existence... Brilliant...
