Poetry: Suicide

WHAT?

What darkness
Leads a tortured soul
To break the bonds
Which hold us
Voluntarily

What illusion
So influences
A mind once so rational
To plot its own
Destruction

What delusion
That to escape sorrow
Convinces totally
You reach euphoria
By self release

What question
Asked of a soul
Is so composed
That the answer be
Suicide

    ANGELORUM (from Latin: of the Angels)

    Blood, chasing itself in my veins,
    wants to catch up with ecstasy.
