*the Suicide Window* Poem by Mubeen Sadhika

*the Suicide Window*

Rating: 3.4


The apex of that tomb
has a very big opening
thousands can descend
within seconds to that
valley of buried dreams.

The fatal gift of life
thrown to totter of grave
brooding obscure enigma
the large void succumbs
innumerable phantasms.

The marvel of being
fantasizing the thirst
to separate the vivacious
pulsing of the beat and
the dumb to slid.

Chasing the carrot, till one breaks through the glass, into the fall of reality.

A very striking description of the thought of suicide. Why is this thought so tempting? Maybe we have to draw out the possibilities of life to its limits, before we can really live? Unfortunately far too many grasp this thought as a solution...

very moving...i am not very religious but i still believe that this earth and the whole humanity is not for us to destroy and that includes our own very life no matter how difficult it is.

A beautiful and insightful peek into a dark and difficult subject. The mind is a very strange thing that it can convince us that suicide is romantic, (as in Romeo and Juliet) or is an escape is fasinating when you consider that we are accepting escape to the unknown over a fear of the known, --10
