Come to Me

Reaper calls to me
Sings to me
“come to me, my love”
Fading in and out
Like a painful memory
Until nothing alive is left
Of a soul that can’t be free
Of a past that hold me prisoner
Blind to it and blind to love
While seeing a world
So distant and cold
Marvelous and painful
Full of promises untold
Silly school girl with a rose colored glass
As everything around her
Burns and turns to ash

Reaper calls to me
Sings to me
“come to me, my love.”
Sound the trumpets, lead the way
Bring on that sublime darkness
And eat the light of day
Dance with distant shadows
And feast with calm repose
For how you managed this long
Is something no one really knows
No sense in trusting a heart
That has long since rotted through
Giving in to perfect stillness
Is all there is really left to do
So call me mature decedere
And sing softly as I burn
For the joy that I have found
And the rest that I shall earn

Beautiful poem. The emotions of the poem are well-felt by the reader, which is something not many poets can acheive. It's beautiful, in a way I can't quite fully comprehend yet.

I am so honored that you feel that way. I think that you are absolutely one of the BEST poets on here so thank you

The reaper spins a convincing spell in this dark tale. It seems the protagonist has made up hermind, but the open endedness of the work leaves the possibility for a brighter outcome. Very atmospheric.

Wow, I never even thought about that. I wrote it late last night and posted it right away so I wasn't sure if it was very good. Thank you for reading it

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
