Hades.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Slowly, slowly, creeps the dawn,

with monstrous shapes,

and shifting form,

‘tween death and sleep,

my soul doeth lie,

this never world,

where hope does die.

 

Alas my sense,

it leaves me cold,

splintered spine,

as I’ve grown old

and weary of

this mortal world,

a waiting hell,

backdrop

unfurled.

 

The antidote

to death

is sleep –

where

Daemons

sneer, and

angels

weep.

I’m hurting and aching

but who do I tell,

my heart’s fit for bursting,

my head feels like hell.

I’m lost and I’m lonely,

I’m feeling so blue;

life’s lost its sparkle,

and nothing feels true.

I’m tired and lethargic,

my mind is a mess;

please leave me alone,

as my nerves are on edge.

I yearn for some space,

and some time to reflect,

to get lost in some books,

and this world to neglect.

Alas it’s a whirlwind,

and life still goes on,

I’ll grin and I’ll bear it,

until this is gone.

Dying Days

Sun Dial
The clock is loudly ticking,

as my life ebbs away.

I wonder how I will feel,

when it becomes my day?

 

Will I be filled with remorse,

for things I never did?

Will I experience regret,

for things I never said?

 

Will I be filled with anger,

for things I didn’t do?

Because the time just slipped

away, before I even knew.

 

Will I think about you,

as I’m taking my last breath?

Will you even be there,

as I walk towards my death?
