Wow. Death of the Verse Writer. An eloquent fall into the struggle of his own demise. Hmmm, did that even make sense? LOL Not really but it sounded impressive and all PHILLIsophic...haha
I'm sure all poets fear the impending death of the muse...I say milk it for as long as its there and cry not for words unspoken and what might have been but for those already written as they hold steadfast in time to touch, mould and change lives.
Nah, I'm bullshitting. This was great. LOL I really loved the lament in the last stanza...

This is beautiful and graceful poetry, Jaq, which captivates from the outset. I love those last lines which are so poignantly sad. I really "felt" this one.

Och aye the nu.

Kindest of regards,

Julie :-)

Beautiful, so lovely, the way you embrace the ending of a chapter. So painful, that I hope that person reconsiders and decides to stay in this life--that life is worth living, and it's better to face life than to be weak and face death.
Whoever this person is, someone needs to help them stay in life, if it's not to late.

Comment from Dean Kuch
Exceptional
This work has reached the exceptional level

Those last few lines are what warranted you this six star rating. So terribly sad. Unfortunately, when it comes to those who decide to take the pain away by ending it all, it's an all too real occurrence as well.
Eerily written, sad and cries a longing, mournful; wail...this piece has it all!
If I have your permission, I'd like to post the following lines on my profile page. I'll note you as the author of course

God bless

but not for what

been

Hi Jaq, a powerful work and release. Strong emotion and imagery it holds the reader captive and yet begs me to ask is all ok??
Thanks for sharing it.

With a few words, well chosen, you paint a beautiful poem,
with profound words, really touching and moving.
This is a very creative and original piece of poetry well written.
The artwork is perfect!

Friggin hell, Jaq - pack this up!

I was terrified thinking it would be bio till I read the category as 'general'.

We all have downers, some terrible ones - I KNOW, but we must carry on for the sake of family and friends we'd leave behind.

'it's time too ['TO']close'

Now, cheer up...being a Jock can't be that bad. :-)

Luvsya, Ray xx

    Whew! That's a relief, Jaq.

    Yep, but at least you know I read and think about every word, you 'Northern Savage' (as opposed to 'southern softie'), LMAO.

    Anyway, to prove I'm tough, I just shouted at my goldfish for blowing me kisses. Haha.

    Ray xx

    Whew! That's a relief, Jaq.
