Each day and each night
Lying buried under the monting height
I die by living
With every single breath I take to live.
With all the shades of blue you've colored me
Still I can paint in the dripping silence only the face of thee.
I have seen my life walking away leaving me behind
I have seen my desires being starngled
I am living the death.
I have let the tides take me away
I smell sorrow in the gray
With every smile that lingers
With every word of my heart that falters
I cry without tears
In a motionless state I am surrounded with fear without fears.
I keep living in the death embracing coldness of life.....

passible i thought you could have stirred in a little bit more death seasonings with a touch of your pepper hatred and this would have been good ~ lady enthralling ~

This is a good sad poem.

Death accompany us like a shadow dear Shapla. You are right, ultimately death walks away leaving life. A profound poem indeed from my sweet sister.

I liked it, but it was a tad bit hard for me to follow. I had to reread a couple of times. -

This is a very chilling poem. I like it, a little too dark for my taste, but it's a well written piece. I give this a 7/10

very dark and powerful.
i can feel your energy coming from this write. you show deep emotional pain from the knowing that with each breath you take to be dead would still be like being dead, thanks for sharing...
