Another one of my...sad, dark poems...

Awakening of Death-

As the winds howls across the pavement,
Leaves dance about in an eerie blunder.
My perfect world reforms to shadow.
Decimated, my happiness bleeds from me...
Each drop, more valuable than the last.

No longer amongst the living...I'm gone.
My ghostly spirit wanders the darkened world.
It's looking...searching. Looking for a place to die.
Or am I still alive? Am I the one searching?
They say all is answered at death...

I pray for the day that I'll wake up,
The day that I'll wake up from this Hellish nightmare...
But, yet again, to my dismay...this isn't a nightmare...
It's what they call life...

-------

Blunder- The move without guidance

There's no point in living, if you can't feel alive!

This one was nice. I know how it is to be thinking about death. It has ran through my mind more than once in my life. Good job on the poem

A nice eerie feel to this...kinda Poe-ish, in a way. Good work Alex.

Here's one that is doubtless
I will love you always Jess
Never think I could love you less

Alex, very cool piece. You did a really good comparison between life and the idea of death in this.
"It's looking...searching. Looking for a place to die.
Or am I still alive? Am I the one searching?
They say all is answered at death..."
They say but is it true? Hell, if you knocked at deaths door and said, 'Give me an answer, damnit!' What do you think would happen?

I like this piece for unexplainable reasons. You've done a good job with this.

Your poem was very good. Had a nice feel to it. The description of the setting was awesome. The vocabulary was intersting. Perhaps a little more strength in the stanzas. The flow was done well. The image project was very profound. SO keep writing!

PS...I hope your not offended with my opinon
