Murdered with tears of mercy
love unveils an imposing death
My suffering slowly slain
leaves the bitter aftertaste of love bereft
Terror lies on fields of slaughter
blood's agony drained and gone
Death offers sweet release
with no intention to do harm

Those last two line are so meaningful to me as I was at my wife's side when she passed and it gave a release for both of us.

Thank you Andy for the review and comment. Yes sometimes death can be a mercy.
A fine write SB.
Thanks so much Orchi
Meanwhile - why, yes, this is what I beg, what I plead, from KP (you know about KP and I?) but she always wants more botox! lol.
I could never deny how much I love your poetry death is not the enemy 🤗 wonderful powerful and truly a pleasure. ❤️
Thank you so much Teddy for the visit and comprehension and understanding read.
Death is so often mislabeled, while we here suffer a a loss, the one who has passed is no longer suffering. I saw that with my parents when they left this world. Their suffering was finally over. THank you for this reminder.
Thank you so much for coming by and for your comments. They are appreciated.
(I so relate dear cherished Poet
truly, a great questing write)
tears can cleanse
or claim new victims
pulled under, drowning
in remembered hurt
I like
distance, between majority
for I recognise how tightly
my life tiptoes
on that rope of calamity..
but there is comfort
in ending's, in our finality
there
can also be a promise of mercy
we know we're counting down
our limited time
so it can help us shake loose
those shackles, wasting
our precious breath
death is guaranteed, to all
now
what are we going to about
life?!
Thanks friend, words of wisdom that are deeply appreciated and an understanding of the message to its core.
