Rest In Peace

by Idiosyncratic   Oct 23, 2005


Stolen identity
No longer myself
Twisted serenity
Rest in peace, in health

Dark granite
Heavy stone
Pressing into the dirt
Sealing my final home

A coffin stamped
With hopeful demise
Lid slammed in fury
Of learning my lies

Dirt piled
In happy heaps
Grins smiled
Beguiled heart leaps

Grass trodden
Flowers bent
Cheeks sodden
Uncommon consent

A crack in the earth
Where I will awaken
Question my worth
Allow myself to be taken

To rest into peace

    It was smooth and well worded, and all in all, beautifully written

    I am not sure if this poem is about you, or about someone else, but either way, I really feel this poem. I have lost someone extremely close to me. I also have felt this way at times. You capture a wonderful, melancholy mood here, and the sorrow resonates off the page! I love it!!

    Wow, very dark and depressing. Great flow and wording though. I can actually picture this whole poem in my head, creepy. 5/5 Great job!
