Elapsing, Eclipsing, Evolving

I’m reaching the end;
intangible seems
more picturesque
than I'd been led to believe.

The Void is breathtaking,
or maybe...just suffocating.

I knew there would be
a vacancy waiting for me
I'm a regular ya'know?

I trust the abandon;
secretly we used to meet
to talk philosophy
and other casualties
over a cup of coffee
under the flicker
of the neon signs
reading "exit this way".

And who was it that said
I had no direction in life?

You bring to light the lingering beatitudes of the exit sign...
Yet I see when I read your heart, an open book destined for more.

Reads like a play.  I was watching this unfold with so many mental pictures.
Very nice.

You have such a way with your expression. I can see you two sitting there.  I really enjoyed this.

... suspension of breath ...
and then in the sudden silence ... applause!

Death what is it? The gate leading to  new plays .... of light!

Love and hugs. Margherita

i promise i didnt write this with a sad tone
supposed to be kinda tongue-in-cheek, blaise' (sp?).....just a little darker humour is all.

I got a chuckle out of MovesInSilence's reply!
