Death Room Poem by Dave Alan Walker
Death Room
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
By Eric Cockrell
Good style and pacing to a strong finish for a interesting subject.
Lovely, striking, emotional. This makes me think of what it would be like to be on death row. Great brain food.
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.
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!
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
