Letters to my soul;
addressed to a sinner's body
delivered to a loon's mind
recieved by the depressed
dated to my heart
yet destroyed by my pain
signed as the statistic
read by the doctor
diagnosed to the cage
progonosis delivered to my soul
treatment bound to my crying eyes
there is no hope
packaged full of powder
read aloud to the mourning flock
sealed with death's kiss
postmarked december 29th, 2001
looked upon my lover's eyes
understood to be the final episode
frowned upon by my lover's tears
sincerly, 18.3%
dated,december 30th,2001
the phone rang december 30th,2001
3pm
no answer, recieved by december 29th, 2001
return address to the ghost
delieverd by the crazy head doctor
recieved by my lover's tears
there is no more
while everything still exists
the letters to the soul
have vanished along with the
body of the 18.3%
reminded of my lover's tears
addressed to a sinner's body
delievered to my dying wish.

This was a very, very interesting poem. I like the way you wrote it very much. Thank you for posting it.

The only thing that I fear is to die quietly.

This is a really interesting piece. Instead of it making me go "WOW" I'm sitting here, thinking about what you've gone through. It's also brought a lot of others to head but that was the first thing.

It's really creative what you've done and the imagery is quite outstanding. It takes the whole concept of letter poetry and changes all the regular 'rules' around.

Thanks for sharing it.

Wow... this is certainly an interesting one! But kinda sad, isn't it? Everything seems to be pointing towards a dead-end, a 'terminal disease'... Hope you're feeling much better now...
