Death...The Spectres Beckon.

The spirits wake me from my "death-like" sleep,
It is my soul they wish to keep.
These visions, these spectres from the past,
Have found their future in death at last.
And soon I will join them in the world beyond,
To find everlasting peace in this final bond.
For death is but the end of all strife,
And the souls beginning in a new found life.

A Gentle Goodbye

The essence of spring no longer fills me with the ecstasy of life,
The lake no longer reflects the soft images of spring, only blackness lies therein.
Voices in the wind call to me and say it is time, time to become "one" with the universe.
I will be all things. I will be the earth, the air, the mountain stream.
The willow tree will softly weep for me and whisper my name to the wind.

(No, I'm not planning to "go" though the poems were written years ago during a "black period" I was going through). All is well now. Plus, I always liked Sylvia Plath (sp) works as well as Poe but also Robert Frost for balance.

Nicely written even though a tad bit dark but as you explained it was a period you were going through many moons ago.

That was very well written my friend.

We all have dark times in our life. I've had plenty. Right now is dark.

Glad you shared!

Peace and love

Hi SLAYER69, Thanx for stopping by and for commenting. I am enjoying hearing from you. I see you are a writer. Awesome. I like your Avatar picture. Your name Slayer....I used to like a band by that name. I plan to put more of my efforts here sometime. You'll see I balance the "dark" and the lighter stuff pretty well. Don't wanna scare anybody too much with my stuff from my dark period/side. I'll be putting up one soon about the Astronauts. I hope folks enjoy it. Blessings and take care and stay cool, like your avatar.

Beautiful in its darkness
Know that sentiment well
A place we may go at times to be reborn for new inspiration
Like the phoenix out of the flames

Love and hugs

Well poetry are a way to pass through the walls of a 'normal' world
To seek deeper
And to communicate it to others as well
For my side I really enjoy these poems

There are so much other stuff in the different forums here
So I have trust in you to find what you need

Love and respect
