    Death of a Poet

    One knocks on the window
    Another pounds on the door
    Just like the pounding in my brain
    Bringing me to the floor

    The storm rages inside
    As is the devils delight
    I crumble and plea for mercy
    As voices scream through the night

    Cloaked now in sorrow
    Beginning to cry
    Unwilling to let others see
    As I curl up and die

    As my body shudders
    The pen shakes in my hand
    Writing these last few incoherent words
    Before leaving this land

    Life is what you make it
    As I could not see
    The drugs lying beside my corpse
    Told you what killed me

    Riding this chariot
    Taking me straight to hell
    Pain and suffering burning through me
    As the words I tried to sell

    A powerful and emotional verse. Very direct and to the point. A serious look at a sad and tragic loss. Another Great piece!

    I'm not sure it's worthy to take it that far, for the simple reason the poet could not get a just read... Then again, Vincent decided one of his ears didn't need to be there, else he be doomed to hear painful words in stereo... A good story of pain and sorrow for self though... Good write...

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
