How I Would Like To Die

Rating: 3.6


i would like to die a man
with smiles and laughter
till death in my mouth
i would like to die
in a blaze of glory
and burning light
till scattered my flame
wil go forever

i would like to die
when walk and talk i could
i would like to die at night
when the sourly night as crawl
and my burning sun as set
thus covering me as a blanket of silence
with no cries and mourning
but a realisation that
ive gone with the night
to be back in the morrow
far over the horizon

Achilles made the choice of dying when he was yet young and full of glory. However in man there's also a different feeling, more intimate and elegiac, about this matter.

Congratulations This is one of your best poems Here you express your feelings And you are letting them out That is a good sign Because it shows the You are learning about your feelings And finding out the type of person you are You know what you want You seem to me to be honest You are a happy person

Interesting piece Hamid about an even more interesting subject. Dying young and in a blaze of glory is to immortalise or freeze your youth in the memories of people who know you. Take care
