our dead end lives...

in and out of consciousness
wary of death
door closing
short breath

your fingers
embrace mine
comfort and hope
life's divine

troubles forgotten
no thought of dying
this aura of peace
drowns the crying

with my last breath
i say 'good-bye'
wipe your tear
...at last i die

~and dead sucks~

blah,
jason

I'm not a sinner
I'm just trying... not to get thrown away

IsGonna:

I liked this one. It's quite similar to the way I sometimes feel about life's being mundane. I know this sounds soooo cliche[or at least in a world filled with "New Age Self Help Mania" it is becoming so], but life is what one makes of it.

As far as critiques, your spelling in this piece could use a little work. For example, aura is not spelled "ora".

I liked this......I thought it was ok. Not even as close to the stuff I have read from you, but it wasn't PURE CRAP.....it wasn't even a bit of CRAP. So no worries there.
Nicely done.


I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Wow, this one is like a perfect counterpart to one I wrote. OMG, I'm gonna send this to the same girl I wrote the other about. Thank you, this is wondeful for me!

Fractal ~ noted. Change made. I actually meant to look that up, because I knew I was spelling it wrong, but then... ahhhh... I forgot. Anyhow thanks for the reply

Dopey ~ Thank you for the reply. This IS border-line crap but I think most my poems are so what the hell do I know. But lately I have no creative energy and this is what you get when you write just to write and hope for the best... haha, but yeah. thanks again

Jason

Jason.... borderline crap? Uh, I don't think so. Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's not borderline crap. Maybe not one of your best, but if you're writing just to write, and hoping for the best, I think it's pretty good. I think it's pretty good anyway, whether you're writing just to write or not.

Nice piece Jason. A good display of emotions that were easy to identify with.
