sweet decay
everything is
rotting away
slowly
as we sway
sedated
seduced
ever unsated
life and death
eternally mated
time wished away
is oxygen wasted

seethroughme

it's all downhill, baby

Have read several of your poems and comments.  You are doing a terrific job with the connection through your pieces; nothing out of  place.  Crisp and simple.  This one to me is elegant with a 1, 2, 3 punch.

Another great poem, visions of being sedated and locked away in a roof together with someone with your heart.

thanks so much, rob :) it's not intentional. i think my subconscious is at play a fair amount. i'm trying to say as much as i can in as few words as possible. distilling life to its essence, in a way. 

thanks christopher :) it's all about the moment. we're all dying but we're not dead yet. and life is for the living, after all.

What an awesome piece here, liz. Beautiful, just lovely...The hopelessness, irrational and overwhelming passion of love that is beyond logic. Time and life be damned. I am going through one myself and it is no picnic...yet it is, or is it not? You see?

inderdaad mnr. hugo :) ons klou so, doen ons nie?

thanks gary. that's just it. now is now. and it's all there is. :)

just been pouring over your stuff, and potentially found me  favourite one

For some strange way this reminds me of my favorite movie, Fight Club. It must be that minimalist style, which was also employed there with amazing results. Anyway this is some profound stuff. I'm still cogitatin it.
