The moon has fallen
tonight a plum blackened sky
dark, this starless void

Carefully she sowed the seed
of pretence
Nurtured, fed, exposed to light

Inhabited root and branch

And it became her reality
Her skeleton

And she wondered
where have all the good men gone

but still she had her music
at least

She lit a candle
to the dying
and the thought sustained her
that maybe
she was the happiest person she knew

And where were you lost...  
( It was the point where I went to far ahead..)
And where were you found..
( It was the point where I found you..)
So may strangers stare at my heaven..
( Not enough people I know..)
Underneath the waters where I drowned..
( Could ever guide me home..)
So I choose the direction toward the dark corners..
( I walk into the waters in the dark..)
And lose my footing yet again..
( What is up and what is down..)
Falling through free darkness..
(Panic assures me no right direction)
I finally see where light begins..
(I will swim till I drown)
Both of us are trapped here
(Both of us are trapped here)

When a diet
Became a way to lose weight

When calories
Became a negative word

When 130 pounds
Became overweight

When skinny
Became positive

That was when
All the little girls started *dying
Including me
As I go to bed this night
getting up early
to get ready
for my day's work

I wonder
how I will feel
as I need to deal with people
all day at work
trying to keep them happy, well and safe
for tonight I am not myself

so as I go to bed this night
I do pray
God for give my sins
make me feel right within
make me whole
tomorrow
take the shadows off my eyes
write within the words
I will need today
and together we will be whole

True story    P@ul.
Why die a thousand death everyday
when you've the option to choose the easy way
of dying the one death faster and supreme
slipping into a blissful sleep sans the bother of dream..


Her voice tried to be uttered from mouth horribly agape
but words had sunk too distant to take anymore shape
the horror shadowed her eyes like when death is too close
mocked by his hand's syringe now emptied of overdose!

He smiled to have accomplished for a cause another ****
help a life escape the pain of a grinding mill
by being a stoic missionary out to achieve a goal
decreed by heaven's will to cure a tortured soul.

He would now record his notes on her physical state
the stage had reached terminal death was natural fate
so her people would be convinced to bury her peacefully
and not approach a coroner to perform autopsy.
Harold Shipman (1946-2004), the doctor who murdered more than 200 of his patients.
