Nullity

Suicide
|
On a glistening beach with sands too white
Where the gulls swerve away out of fright,
(How easily sharks can be seen through crystalline ocean!)
And flowers wilt, tinged black from erosion:
There am I, a fixed audience of only me
Watching your inchoate fall into the sea.
As you flicker in and out of existence I know
You'll explain facilely with your matchless flow.
I find I've been mesmerized by your endless guile
The sun is pale, and so is your smile.
Wintry whispers hover on your breath
You hint at life, yet you speak of death.
I say you are pulchritudinous and I am plain
The intensifying gibbous and I still wane
Truly believing we have the time
You teach me how to be ephemerally sublime.
But, too erudite to love the world that will one day dissipate
You leave me, ignoramus, to meet the sea and conjugate.
Savage incarnadine waves swallow you whole -
You're driftwood to their patterns, as is your lovely soul.
In your last words you'd obfuscated
Mentioning euthanasia in passing; you were vitiated.
I omit you from mind, discredit your words,
And with steady rain and mottled colours fly the birds.
They circle overhead, their feathers gravitating to the sea
Molting you.

| this is an incredible poem, that must be read over and over again...appealing to our intelligence yet diving deep into the human soul...this is incredible, reminds me of poetry that is published and famous |

I wish i'd have been here when you posted this, because it takes everything i've always loved about your poetry and raises it past perfection.
Not since reading "Rainy Days Remind Me" have I been so moved.
Keep writing (and write to me if you see this comment...),
