sorrows clouds gather
souls breath does envelope me

leafs descend like tears
MdAsadullah Jan 2016
Austere, aged trees standing since years.
Shrubs, grasses and wild flowers abound.
Similar in appearance, grave after grave.
Serenity everywhere, tranquility surround.

But matter is different from beneath the earth.
Serenity is just an illusion beneath the skies.
Let not the perpetual calmness deceive them.
All those who look with their worldly eyes.

Their deeds accompany them in their graves.
All alone the dead ones never dwell.
Grave is but a garden from gardens of heaven.
Or it is just a pit from the pits of the hell.
Nico Reznick Jan 2016
If I somehow
***** this up, and die
in some stupid, boring, clichéed,
romantically tragic way
while I'm still sort of
young and
sort of attractive, and
you are, too,
I hope you
**** on my grave,
howl profanity at the couldn't-give-a-**** sky,
and curse me inside-out
for being
so derivative and
predictable.

Sometimes your choices may deceive you
Don't complain..
They are your choices..
Choices to be written on your grave
Daisy Arcos Jan 2016
Drain my life's blood and let it turn to tar where my body lies
Rip the pale flesh from my bones like a starved creature
**** the marrow from their ceramic casings

Bury me in an unmarked grave where nothing grows
Let the maggots consume my rotting vessel
It makes no difference in the end

Death by any other name would smell as foul
But my essence is that of divine shadow
And you must drown out the sun

This heart will now crave,
For the love which nobody gave,
I'm feelin' like a dead man in a grave.

I carry singly my lonely zeal,
Now this heart won't soon heal,
Except heartbreak nothing's real.

This heart has suffered a wound,
Feels like its clock has unwound,
A baby deep inside wails around.

Green grass and
sunny days.
Overhead,
the squirrels play.
Birds in the sun and
fresh soil dug.
A brand new stone
of grey.

In doom and despair
She smiles as if to laugh
A bulge of fangs underneath
Hidden but in plain sight

A pain felt deep
Like a needle piercing
But yet I am calm
As if in the eye of the storm

Blood creeps and crawls
A song on the surface of my skin
A choir draped in crimson
Singing a melody of crows

Fate can be cruel
A love looted
At the point of a stiletto
She knew where to strike

She drove it deep
Into skin, into soul
A chasm so fathomless
What an abyssal *****

I was butchered
A pine box aroma
I can feel her eyes
Piercing me as she shovels dirt

I think of you while underwater
And it makes me wonder
if this is what it feels like to die
Or if I'll ever understand god in this lifetime
But I know he still chokes
at the sound of you saying goodbye
And the angles still storm heaven
every Sunday night,
looking for the missing piece of your heart
with my name etched into the side
I would have died with you
once or twice
I would have dug up a grave,
fit just for us two
With my own marble hands
and flaccid nails
But you left me for bar fights
and short skirts and quiet sheets,
anything but dirt
*Oh god,
anything but dirt
