Ah sweet. If the end could come for me in the form of a great loving wolf who would hold me in his paws and make sweet gentle (well as gentle as wolves ever are) love with me and just as he tied, nip my carotid with his sharp white teeth..

*gives him a silent hun... and just sighs....

excellent work :)

Thank you again hun... *smiles brightly...

<beams> You got me to a T. I'm chuffed to have a dedication, 'specially of something so pleasing. I will run it by by nearest and dearest and see if they agree or disagree and report back.
And oddly enough, I am visualised as a black-furred wolf.
The End.
<hug>

*laughs and gives him a hug.... I just knew it was you as soon as I laid eyes on it...

Poo hun... your stuff is not lame - it is simply of a different type and genre. Glad you liked it.

Well said.

Uh, if you can say that about a poem. What I meant is that I can relate to what you wrote. Good work. =)

chuckles and gives him a hug. Thank you hun...

V.

Very nice... kinda had a doomy vibe to it, but was nice.

*gives him her gloomiest look.. and then cracks up...

we all experiance a full range of emotions hun... sometimes we smile and sometimes we cry... in this one I was simply being honest with who I was and at the same time looking at life.

V.

Doom doomy doomy doom...

But, of course, poetry serves to capture these moments... and this one was done quite well.

thanks hun...

As Woody Allen said, "I'm not afraid of death...I just don't want to be there when it happens!" Solid and balanced writing on a difficult topic...well-done!

Thank you so much hun... and loved the Woody Alan quote. I'm in full agreement.

Thank you so much hun... and loved the Woody Alan quote. I'm in full agreement.

Love the conflicting emotions I get when traveling through your poem...it really is more like a journey of emotional realization than just a snapshot of one feeling. There's a very peaceful acceptance of "The End," but at the same time, almost a feeling of regret at the very thought of "The End," knowing your passion will go unfinished when the time comes. Love it.

Thank you very much... it was quite the reflection when it came to me - or happened - or however you want to express the writing experiance.

"This is the end... my only friend, the end..."

this made me think very much of that rockin good song. i love the doors, good association there ^_^

good accepting of death/whatever comes after life. i hope i can meet him calmly, and in friendship. i dont wish him forced upon me, especially by others... but they would join me in taking his hand, should anyone threaten me or my loved ones...

ooo I hadn't even thought of that song... way cool... and I understand your other comments and agree whole heartedly

V.

...................... I'm speechless... purely speechless.

*just cuddles into his fur.....

Eerie. Intriguing. Very dark in tone, this perhaps takes the bit more negative view to death. Although, the ending is quite relieving. "It is not my time yet." Very good poem, I liked this.

like your 'Executioner' yes?

The Executioner, the one knight in the service of The White King, who has the power to free other knights from their earthly bond. And thus, I have created an embodiment for the Death. Yup, pretty much like my Executioner.

Did you know that I have another "angle" of death in my prose too? Smallnose the Panther is sometimes titled as the slayer of The White King. His job description is much more grim, though, as he deals with the mortal critters who have crossed The White King. His "customers" aren't usually as willing to leave the world like the old knights who have grown bored and tired.

I liked Smallnose...

A title of 'Slayer of The White King' can be taken two ways. Did you mean for this?

V.

There's often double meanings in the names and titles I have given to my characters. I have told you what 'Osma' means for example. There are stories behind the names of other characters as well, names 'Grigori' or 'Aino' aren't just picked randomly. Also Grigori's peculiar chain/whip/hammer weapon's name, 'The Cat's Paw', has a double meaning. These are some things I would have covered in the meta-textual works/character sheets, if I ever had came to fully edit and upload them.

*nods...

usually a character's name will just come to me for no particular reason than that's who they are.

V.

being death must really suck, hell the hours alone are a killer
makes me picture that black wolf brooding over when to collect our souls, exquisite.

*gives the bear another big hug...

Thank you Gruz...

V.

Nice. Not sure what else to say since I stopped doing poetry after my Foxy Bread thief poem

nice is quite fine....

*hugs...
