ANGEL OF DEATH Am I the Angel of Death? Death does not follow me, but pushes ahead, destroying the ones I try to love. I used to think it coincidence, but it has happened far too often, far too close to be such. Now, I can even predict it. I can see death in faces…..and I know. And yet, I can do nothing to stop it. I am always there when death comes. I fear love now. What I once thought wondrous and beautiful has become terrifying. Why has this burden been visited upon me? What did I do to deserve this? Is this my punishment for sins long past? Am I to wander this earthly hell, forever condemned to watch those whom I love suffer? I don’t belong with people anymore. I cannot love anymore……I cannot. And no one must love me…..not if they are to avoid the horror that comes with my return of that love. Will my end come soon? Will I run forward, embrace Death as a comrade, and be enveloped into that never ending slumber to which I have sent so many? I have no fear of Death. I have met Death, looked it in the eye and saw nothing. No glimmer, no hint of what lies beyond. Death and I are partners, in some twisted menage-a-trois with life. So interwoven into the fabric of existence that one cannot be without the others being also. Oh how I long to be free from this unholy alliance, this ungodly bond. Free me now, Death. Embrace me. Set me free. Hardrock 10/19/99 |

Hardrock, this pulled at my heart hon. Is this made up or do you really feel this way? No one on Earth can be the angel of death in my beliefs, just bad timing. Sorry if you feel this way for punishing yourself is awful and never ending, though you should end. If you wanna talk 'e' me hon.. *hugs* Damned good writing though  I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn..... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |

Thanks Isis and Cat for your concern. The date at the bottom may reveal something. As for the question as to whether I believe I'm really the Angel of Death? Welllll.....let's just say I don't date much. (PS....To all who sent e-mail, thanks. To the guy in Pittsburg, NO!! I will NOT come visit your mother-in-law) Hardrock |

Excellent poem Hardrock! I think most of us have this one-on-one with the death creature. Best part is.... we are still here! Good Work Peace Once there was a darkness Deep and endless night You gave me everything you had Ahhhhhh you gave me light |

some call me strange cuz i say i welcome death. but then i will be done with this world and its members that play games. no longer will i have time to kill wondering what it was all for. excellent introspective work here, marv. so since you wrote it last year, may i ask why you posted it now? kynder Across the gateway of my heart, I wrote "No Thoroughfare!!" But love came laughing by and Cried "I enter everywhere!!!" Herbert Shipman |

I think we all play with death, or the idea of it, at some time in our lives. In our darkest despair it seems the only way out. Perhaps the posting now was to let others see that, despite what we may feel at any given time, there is always hope. I chose to not use a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Besides, Kynder, I would never have met you....and all the others here in Dark Passions. And that would have been a very big loss to my life and all I have left to do. Thanks...Hardrock |
