Baby blue skies
ruby red blood
Body left lying
here in the mud

Blinded by a life that
once seemed so good
All of it now but one
deadly falsehood

Life’s mirage showed
I was on the right track
As the reality of it all
stabbed me in the back

Hurt beyond measure
with no sane way out
I lay here in anguish
any future is in doubt

I do not know if I have
the strength to go on
to rise from the mud
before life is all gone

I tried to write a poem today.
but...

I could pull no words from the
jumbled recesses of my mind.
So...

I tried to find some in my heart
but found only hardness there.
So...

I search my soul and found
only darkness and despair.
So...

I won't.

I wake suddenly with a start
knowing something is there.

Out of the darkness there is
the sound of mighty wings.
I can feel the air stirring
around me at their beating.

Suddenly, in the room, there
is the smell of rotting meat.

I am afraid..

A feeling of utter finality fills
the room where I lay and I
fall from bed and to my knees
bowing my head in acceptance.

With certainty I know that
he has finally come for me.

Samael..........Death's Angel

What could possibly
be the point of it all?
Surely not the painful
bitter tears that do fall.

Where is the joy and
laughter seen from afar?
It may be all an illusion
that they keep in a jar.

Would it be better to let
go and just give in?
Opening that door into
darkness letting it all end.

Are there those out there
that even give a ****?
Maybe the last they hear
is that open door slam.
