death stares
steps back
as good-natured life
welcomes me back
from the edge
death promises
I’ll be there for you
when tolerance ends
renewed perspectives
await beyond
pieces of life
falling in cracks of soul
where were the gaps
which stopped me
from feeling whole

Your poems touch a chord, always. Deep, emotional, and thought provoking.

And yet, they leave me restless, as if there is a lot more waiting to pour out.

That’s a good sign, I think, because if you think there is nothingto more say, then stagnation starts.
