A Bath Before Diing

Luke warm water to thin my blood.
The sweet smell of vanilla burning in candles.
Capsuls divine, at least ten.
Sweet wine.
My sharp lover,
Slicing away each layer of pain,
With enduring slices.
The fruit of my labor........................
Everlasting Peace.
Sleep my quiet Princess...
Sleep.

    well that was creepy. had a very eerie feel to it. reminded me of cecilia from "virgin suicides." this gave me chills and a scary impression.

    soft, sweet ???

    with gentle calm you
    embraced an end to dying ...
    the night seems endless.

    DUH??!?? i never wanted to read a suicidal poem from you...but i guess you just made it for the contest

    I like those line saying, "...slicing away the layers of pain...", this was more like a sad poem then anger one...but the sadness seems to be the consequence of your anger...

    take cares and have a nice time my dear friend... just keep it up.... your humble little friend... .... .... .... - vic ( who else? )
