DEATH Pictures, Images and Photos






death confines in wizthom


 


wizthom why do people fear me so,


i am not right neither am i wrong,


i am just a Porter to the great beyond,


 why am i so misunderstood,


i am neither bad,neither good,


 


i can come like a thief in the night,


or be that angel,


 who sets things right,


 


i am there from the moment ,


u take Ur first breath of life,


 i am
there when Ur candle burns out,


 


so why am i so misunderstood,


in this world of physical,


 


so misunderstood wizthom,


i need a miracle,


i can't touch angels,


i have no power over spiritual,


 


i can greet you in many ways,


and you are always free to come thu me,


 


i answer to no-one in physical form,


only God can undo my work once it's done,


 


some say they saw me riding a pale horse,


others say they know me as Gods angel Gabriel,


 


wizthom who am i ,what am i ,


when the devil uses me to strike fear,


when commands me to do his will,


 


i can not lie, and i know not truth,


wizthom tell me what am i to you,,??


 


i turn to
say death ,to me you are death,,





peace

She dances, or at least
graces my thought and
sits heavy with a light smile as
a discovered contradiction.

What is this?
I often mutter.

It graces old desires and itches
like something that
has been out of reach.

And yet
fingers and hands still
stretch for a touch.

Guess I will hang
out for awhile.

one tear falls
and the world is healed

one tear falls
and your love is sealed

one tear falls
and the layers are pealed

one tear falls
and your beauty revealed



one tear falls...

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... 

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog): 
TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001 

Where traditions are not so rare; 
    Sea, country and works scent the air; 
A multitude of monuments, 
    Planted tubs and patterned pavements. 

The longish pedestrian malls; 
    The remnants of defensive walls; 
Historic buildings are a gauge 
    Of the respect for heritage. 

Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; 
    Estuaries guarded by shields; 
Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; 
    Romantic-ruin go-betweens. 

Rivers in parts licked by trees, 
    Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, 
And crossed by practical delights - 
    Varied spans, forming pleasing sights. 

Fine churches headed at Durham; 
    Football kits ad infinitum; 
Kept castles - one for study; 
    Masonry behind masonry. 

And, with moulding-works out that way, 
It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

       all i need is a female friend

in my loneliness i stare into open space
as if i can conjure up your lovely face,
time passes so slow when missing love,
like a nightmare i can't seem to wake up,

whenever i do it seems i had  no sleep,
oh mystery lady i am in need,
my soul bleeds through my pen,
all i need is just a female friend,

whenever i strobe through the world,
i always see couples rather shopping,
or at the movies,everyone has somebody
but me even that blue bird singing in the tree,

oh how my heart aches through my pen,
all i need is a female yes a lady friend,
standing in line lady takes my order at the counter,
she smiles so do i ,can't help but wonder ,

could she be interested or is it i just want her to,
i pick up my bags say thank you as
the line behind me,
grows impatient the vibes are so revealing as i begin thinking
 if she only views me as another costumer ,

oh well somethings are not for me to know
as i head for the door i see the vision of her
coming like the gentleman  i am i open the door,
she smiles says thank you and i wonder ,

in this hustle  bustle world hurrying to and fro ,
no one has time to hold conversations any more,
always in a rush to hurry up to wait,oh what a waste,
tomorrows another day to began the dance again,

how my spirit seeks the company that my pen bleeds,
in this world i just want someone for me,
a female friend to  spend sometime with,
oh how my life never fails to recite it,

tire of being alone in this big old world,
i need lone for someone to call my own,

 peace

The Blood

Many thanks for the add. Hope you enjoy the music and message behind it. My mission in life is to fight Human trafficking...understanding the individual pain of others is sometimes to painful for an other individual to touch and that is frightening ...
what i mean is that someone whose life is not traumatized and brutalized as a regular sequence of every day events unconsciously seeks the camouflage and shelter of apathy and banality from the reality of such devastating anguish and terror ...but the spirit of young people who are used as sex slaves in the systematized global industry of human trafficking is now reaching out to the human fellowship in hope and desperation and through technology ...

it is scary when humanity turns a blind eye to this horror ...its like ignoring genocide whilst it is happening ...

what i am asking is that if you hear the cry of these young people who are existing in an environment of torture and brutality each and every day that you then please do not turn away from them ...

please reach deeply into your heart and soul and join a movement that challenges modern slavery in the 21st century ...

-Colin
