Death

poems by quicksylver

nothing too graphic, just....final.

16 candles

sixteen candles
around my death bed
everyone a year
of the life i've led

their light consoles me
in this time of need
so warm, so bright
please don't dwindle, i plead

they show me the way
the path to heaven above
first i walked with sadness
now i walk with love

Final Thoughts

they told me that the time ws near
i was to be no more
soon, a memory in thier hearts
forever to endure

it saddened me to see the sorrow
on every one's face
don't they know i'm on my way
to a far far better place

i cling to my past, my life
every regret i savour
every fight i've ever had
everygood deed or favour

my inner self cries to me
i do not want to die
so i try to reassure myself
and so the time goes by

sorry that i've put you through
all this pain and strife
i know that you''ll remember my death
but hope that you also remember my life.

Choices

there are no immortals
in this worlld
everyone is to die
condemned or not

where do we go?
after we are in the ground
after salty tears bring forth
scarce, sacred foliage

our decision is clear
bliss or brimstone
wings or tails
the choice made in life

a choice stated in death

long ago a man of virgin womb
died to wash us clean
to clear our slates
to give us the choice

seventy two hours later
he rooled back the stone
and branded a way for us
with feet of angels

conquerer of death
saviour of life
he is our guide
to eternal happiness

life is short
and we have to live it
to the best of our ablity
whether we want to or not

I rise

then i knew
i knew that i would never
be the same again
everything had changed

hot sun pearl
shining on me
around me, through me
warming my soul

bourne on air
with wings of down
clouds to be my bed
harp to play for loved ones missed

i hear the voices
of those who weep
their salty tears
wet my ground

embraced in bright joy
i rise
into welcoming arms
i rise

Love
Angst
Just plain weird
Local flavour
Misc.
