i dream of slow death
through suffocation
i dream of slipping, softly away
dangling from a rafter
leather strap 'round my neck
lungs, constricting, spasming
feeling the warm rush
as my body tingles, and goes numb
the blunt pain on the back of my skull
saliva, dripping from my mouth
pressure in my eyes
feel something pop, and i go blind
in my head i see the Blue world
the overlapping planes of non-existence
feeling the atmosphere swallow me whole
hearing, in the distance
a sweet siren call
like a haunting flute played only for me
i feel a great burden lifted from my shoulders
and i know that, in the physical realm
i have died
a grating, buzzing sound tears the air
and the sky splits open
revealing yet another world
heavy hues of Grey oppress
the air, thick like molasses
my dead lungs labor, flailing in some chaotic dance
as they struggle to produce what i no longer need
on the cracked Grey floor of this world
i sit, feeling the unfamiliar sensation of peace
cascading through me like no pill ever has
eyes ever closed, i wait for Nothing
and Nothing never comes
but, i won't mind waiting longer
soon (or not) the floor cracks wide
and another ethereal form ascends
i stand, ready to meet my new friend
we walk the planes of Grey, like old friends
talking of our old lives, our old fears and hopes
and finally, of our lifelong Dreams of Asphyxiation

it was a little surprising reading this, this is such a calm relaxing way to die that i really wouldn't expect this from you, but still it was a great poem, the poem as a whole just seems so peaceful, i wish death could actually be like this, the imagry was wonderful in this work. ttyl ~Apryl |
