Sta.sh
Only the dead are welcome here;
To the stillness of ashes and dust,
Our bitter union in the tides of Void,
Without pain, without thought, without lust.
Without pain, you say?
Then scarce know you of the dead.
For we seethe with the throb of loneliness,
As soulless sighs; our tears are shed.
Without thought, you say?
Then scarce feel you of the dead.
Whilst endless days condemn all to misery;
Memories of love are to black fires fed.
Without lust, you say?
Then scarce care you of the dead.
Our weeping hearts beat only with longing;
Though our passion in vile pools bled.
Only withered dreams thrive here;
Cursed with a whisper; engraved with a sigh.
Ah; sleep is ne'er granted freely to our souls,
In fitful rest, blessed nightmares lie.
...
Only the dead are welcome here;
To the bleakness of shivers and ghost.
Though the many may enter: not a soul shall be free,
Never again blissful days shall thy knows't.
Never again blissful days shall thy knows't.

I like to think this kind of thing up at night before I go to sleep. 
And I appreciate that the rhymes are a little tenuous, I don;t usually use them, but, I wanted to try.

Poetry is such a wonderful thing because it can mean so much to each reader. I totally thought of my old, abandoned WoW character, who happens to be undead. And now I feel all sad for him.
WoW and silliness aside, it's quite beautiful and tragic. I hope the speaker finds happiness again.
It is, I always try and write from the heart, and before I sleep at night, my head can travel to some very dark places... Just an attempt at trying to convey my feelings and fears about death and what awaits really.
Lol! Aww, he sounds sweet! Never played WoW...
And thanks so much again, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I see the speaker as the sort of voice for all the trapped souls there, their consciousness in a way. It'd be lovely for them to be freed, but, I think they're going to be spending their eternal days there
Awww, I'm glad you're flattered, hee. But seriously, you're great at this.
I think this stuff could work in the same way that Emilie Autumn did her poetry compilation, maybe you could do a vocal type thing. It's very haunting listening to poetry. I feel like I've been let in on this person's life, and ut very intimate and secret.
Lol, I'm babbling, and I need to go do some work XD
Lol, aww dear. I sound like a twat on recordings, i've a horrid voice
Lol! Workies! I need to do moar inking and the like, yup.
So do I, lol. Awww, EA's poetry gives me shivers. I get all cold and jittery listening to some of them.
Do ya, matey? DO YA!? I'm just working on the bed, thumbnailing some comic crap for uni. Gonna work on them all night, I reckon.
I really liked her poetry, hehe. Her voice is just a bit... yeah. I don't really go for that kind of voice
Ah DOOOOO! UUUUUSE! Wow, all night, eh? Wooow! I can't wait to see these comicky endeavours when you get then finished!
Wellll, I think there are a lot of amazing things that our species does.
Lol, ah, just read them instead then, whoop!
