Death Comes But Once!

Dying. It strokes subsequently pleasant.
Every bravado within my essence tingles
And burns. My last few breaths point
Toward the doors of Hell. Only God, knows
Heaven will hurt me.
 
Cast me for longed into the bowls of Satin’s
Oath. Watch my skin bleed, Blood and  
More blood, just open up and let Hell
Eat what is left, what is not yet dead.
Sins, sex, pain, hurt, and dirt, will

Bury my body over the flames of
Uttermost chaos. I was a tortured man
Trying to live on Earth, Heaven sent me

Out, hell took me astride and
Now sadly I know, Death
Comes But Only once.
Eternity shall give me peace, Death Comes But Only Once.

whoa, reading this made me think of so many meaningful and deep thoughts of life. This poem is magnificient! Definately I'm quite impressed! =)
Death does only come once but this made me feel at peace yet it's so moving at the same time. The pain...the agony of this poem... it's just.. so.. I can feel the ache! this is truely a wonderful poem that's quite powerful. Sometimes being a hurt, tortured soul can have so many experiences that no one can see nor even imagined a person going through such things. I loved it. Splendid write!!!

Impressive write from the perspective of being condemned to the well-deserved tortures of hell. Dark, but well-written and enjoyable. :)

[Rob Santana]

Deep, dark yet it reads beautifully. At least for me it does. Nicely done S. D.

"Bury my body over the flames of
Uttermost chaos. I was a tortured man
Trying to live on Earth..."
I like how the last part repeats itself, it gives this piece a certain spark, and extra dash of drama.
Well done!

I really like this one, it's dark and deep and it flows incredibly well. Very good work. I look forward to reading more.

Ya know, I've always thought: When you die, die well--you can only do it once. :)
