dying Phoenix E Nicholson 1-23-2013

Sun rises sneers its lying                 One more chance at gloom

Slowly drifting and dying               Escape more pain than perfume

What excuse explains                     Sweet sadness of birth

Sentenced to life again                   Cost and climb it’s not worth

Not real and not enjoyed               Dirges sing needles pull

Tubes wires pins employed            No chance never full

Life unlived unforgiven life             Candles both ends burned

Float in mud sharp knife                Deep inside sharply turned

Smile at me wave farewell             Greet with sympathy

Mourn prayers sad shares tell       It just had to be

Dying           1-23-2013  Phoenix E Nicholson
