PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Hospital bed, stinking,foul-smelling

Odour of decay, disease,urine,disinfectants

Catheter,oxygen mask, saline drip,blood drip

Tubes connecting life to death

Loved ones awake at way past the dead of night

The Night is a curse !!

Pain... intense pain,agony,gasping lungs.....

Gaping ulcered mouth gulping oxygen- the gift of Nature

Forced in ! A shame, the elixir so fresh ,light,refreshing.

So much silence all around !!!!!!

The sick brain--- bursting to talk-- to tell of

All things Bright and Beautiful.......

The soul is tormented, Death waits patiently to take the reins.......

The finely decorated Chariot, jingle bells, Santa Claus......

Muddled thoughts, muddled brain,the Morning dawns

The Chess Game ends, the King quits leaving the Pawns

What is the meaning of this wonderful world ?
