The last breath

The night is longer than i expected
The silhouettes of men long forgotten whisper in the language unknown.
I am laying on the side of the enormously big cliff,
watching the waves as they splash against the rock...A powerful hand of nature

The fire is sparkling in the darkness
howling of wolves makes me shiver with fear
on the horizon a speck of light
a ship, or a visage or apparition ?
Am i saved? these chains are made of steal, unbreakable..i can hardly move

Oh, my sight is abandoning me
it tricked me like twice in the night
no God is there to show me the way
no angles on my shoulder to tell me right from wrong
.

Maybe it's time to change, to leave my thoughts behind
Let me forget about the salvation and let me stay where i am
away from the light.

Soon the darkness will take over,
it'll swallow the last heart beat.
And the smile of hope on my wrinkled face will evaporate into the air.
I'll become the ash of life, and the wind will blow me into the ocean,
with the first beam of the Sun.

Alone, lost in space and in time,
chained for eternity without a way to escape,
No comfortable life is awaiting me at the end of the rainbow.
No green grass and running waters will i see or taste again.

The hope left me with the speed of light,
there's no point in me kicking around - the chains are double-plaited
haha, there's no destiny written in the stars,
haha, there's no even the thing of us drawing our path of life
We have been lied to for so long!

I am all alone...
The darkness is coming to get me faster and faster,
It is opening its huge mouth and i can see the red tongue twisting...
'HELP ME!HELP ME!' - no use of shouting for help,
I am all alone...
Soon there will be no me any more
my name dies with the first morning Sun

Farewell
Farewell

One who expresses their words through poetry can hope that the reader can live and maybe feel the writers expression and I think this one did it for me. Excellent poetry.

Hi Maya,

These moments however lonely and despairing can be the stuff of very powerful poetry. The emotion in this piece really jumps out at you. I'm sure you feel better for getting it out there. teddybear wine

Mayasupernova! Clear, bright words. I agree we've been lied to, but we do control our own future, the paths we walk! There are stars in the sky which are yours & no one elses, they shine just for you, they will come to you when it's darkest.
