After Life

 

If I were to say my world

Would end this very day

 

Would your love remain sincere,

Remembering a past, not so clear

 

As melting time stills the start

For this, my hesitant ashtray heart

 

Nothing left but remembered regrets

Eyes closing weakly as death besets

 

Memories of life’s unpaid toll

Blacken already darkened soul

 

Suddenly, light falls upon me

Radiance of purity, no others see

 

Shining so brightly it burns

Fear of this new reality returns

 

Falling onto beggar’s knees

Wishing to end this nightmare dream

 

Evoked through the mind’s acidity

A place in hell is my eternity

Wow! Amazingly powerful. I especially liked the last two stanzas, they are brilliant. Great writing!

"For this, my hesitant ashtray heart" powerful line...tells of being used up and burned. This one is a fave of mine adding to my "list"!

[Shingo]

Um. Well... I liked it. A lot. I turned of my music and read it through again in silence. The first four lines grabbed me, and drew me in...
(I think i suck at reviews... sorry)
