Poem No. 26

Whispers of the doomed

POEM Am a coward oh! yes I am

But one day I will be brave oh! Yes I will

And that day might be today oh! Yes it might

Or maybe tomorrow or overmorrow


For long I wished for death

I asked God to send me the angel of death

But that prayer God seems not to answer

Maybe its time to be brave


Each and everyday I wait

Each and everyday I hope

Each and everyday I long for

Oh! Yes I long for a relief


I wait to be embraced

I wish to be cuddled

I long to get solace

In the strangers arm


To lie down in peace in her bed

To sleep with calm and serenity

To worry no more

To kiss goodbye to all my fears


To journey to the unknown

To seek for peace and serenity

To search for joy and peace

On the other side all this I wish to find


Am tired of hoping

Am tired of wishing

Am tired of waiting

For a better tomorrow that doesn't exist


For long I have been a coward

For long I have been weak

Hopelessly hoping for a change

Foolishly waiting for a better tomorrow that exist only in my dreams


If I can't find peace here

Am ready to search elsewhere

Even in the place of no return

Oh! Yes even in the destination of the dead
