AVERNUS

A Poem by CAPOLAVORO
"

This poem is supposed to be read by someone I know who committed suicide. It is never too late I guess to save a life. Thinking a hundred times is always the best choice. A free verse.

"
Walk into Avernus with great desire
Dance with death in a blue fire 
Do not succumb
Do not depend
Put a thick line in every bend
Until soul searching is done
Never pull the trigger in that gun

Run! Run! Run!
Find a way not to return
There's a path you did not see
Do not listen to Hades
Do not trade it and be free

See crosses
See bruises
See roses and darkness
See rudeness and selfishness
The worth of life is always endless

here you can see i never teased anyone else. only you. bcoz you will understand
The material you've written about is not easy to deal with even now, social stigma and all that, but you've
reached out to your friend with a heart felt plea. Hopefully somewhere they are hearing it.
Good write, C.

Thank you so much for your review. :)
A hard topic you have written about.
"Run! Run! Run!
Find a way not to return
There's a path you did not see
Do not listen to Hades
Do not trade it and be free"
I lost two brothers to suicide. I will never understand why but I learn. Some people can't fight the simple battles of life. Your lines left the reader with something to think about. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

CAPOLAVORO,
"AVERNUS" was a step in the right derection. I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. It is hard to face these things but you have done so bravly. Your poem is such a truth telling voice to this sad commentary to the loss of life in a fashion which is just plain hard! "untill soul searching is done. Never pull the trigger on that gun." Blessings to you in your life and writing..................Kathy

Thanks again Kathy. :)
I'm not a poet or consumer of poetry by any means, but this poem gives me very strong imagery. I especially love "Dance with death in a blue fire" and "Find a way not to return/There is a path you did not see."
I can feel the emotion in this poem.
