Death Room Poem by Dave Alan Walker

Death Room

Rating: 4.3


As I lie
in the prison room
of death
I feel
The sweet pleasures
of forced suicide
going through my vains

As I close my eyes
and take a breath
I know
it will be my last

I lie here
I die here
an innocent man

Then I hear a knocking
on my heavens door

The crow
She has come for me
To take my soul
and set me free

As I fly through
the valleys of peace
I know at last
My soul is free


Inspired by house of stone

Dear Dave, the meaning s of your words are really so great also it can has a lot of symbolics meanings.The room of death can be the world where we live.Yes really somethimes we feel that we can't easlyy breath, we are imprisoned.We all looking after a peaceful place where we can be free happy.Well done dear Dave. By the way the only thing that i hope you don't mentioned it is suicide, this feeling never gives any pleasure it always be with a great doom and gloom.

no one can take away a man's true freedom... we are imprisoned by our bodies... much as they often imprison our bodies wrongfully... you cover this subject with a thoroughness, and with insight. very good poem. thank you!

I heard Bob Dylan singing 'Knocking on Heaven's Door, ' in my mind, while reading this. It forms questions, and that's what I like... Food for thought.

accepting one's fate in such a situation is the only way to be free. there is no mystery in death only in life and that is the prison in which we live. nice write
