IconElegies

My husband  gave up his crown and his life for me, but still I did not love him, not as he loved me. I wanted to leave. But when he died, I missed him, I sought him when the light of my reason  was already going out. I was never called Her Royal Highness, but they let me  at least be buried next to my husband, who loved me so faithfully. Poet's note.

Who would have thought that I would die quietly in my sleep, after playing my favorite game, for the last time, just a couple of days after my death sentence, after finishing the tour. Not bad. Poet's Note. Lemmy Kilmister is one of the biggest icons in the rock world.

I had the right to die. I wasn't a child. My father and the judges couldn't stop me. I knew what I wanted. The pain of freedom. My life was pain. I just wanted to get away.

It suddenly came to me. I didn't have time to do anything. I became an icon. Poet's Note. James Dean is one of the first icons of popular culture.

The sorrow of the land. For my sake. I loved America, and they loved me. I was the American dream in high heels. I was more than that. Not a stupid blonde. I was lucky and wanted to give back. What I loved most was my husband, I always loved him, and he loved me. I couldn't have asked for more. I'm with him now, forever. Dolly Parton was a singer, actress, and philanthropist.

 It was my divine play in the mental hospital. The actors were crazy, the director was crazy (me), everything was crazy, and the Parisian nobility loved it all. Of course it had to end. That too was taken from me, the bloated, sick sadist. Oh. All those manuscripts of mine, which my son destroyed. A note from a poet. The Marquis de Sade, was a writer.

My heart did not burn even in fire, in my life it burned, without thinking about anything, and I obeyed. My wife kept my heart for decades, and that was the longest she had me.

Percy Shelley was one of the most famous poets of the Romantic era.

They sold me as the Elephant Man because of my ugly appearance, even though I was born clean, like everyone else. I was really Joseph Merrick, a human, even they though I didn't look like one. I was saved from a freak show, but I wasn't made human. My skeleton wasn't buried with me, it was studied for years,  but never my soul.  I just wanted to sleep like everyone else. Poet's Note. Joseph Merrick was called the Elephant Man because of the deformities of his body.

I was everyone's baby, but when I died I didn't even have hair, the platinum blonde was gone. All those vampstories, I was so much more. I never had the man I loved by my side. Not even in the grave. My mother came with me there too. This was Hollywood. Nothing more. Poet's note. Jean Harlow was one of the biggest movie stars of the 30s.

 Life was a play for me, whose last act I decided myself. Shame was not part of my plans, the soldiers laughed and mocked me.

A poet's note. Yukio Mishima was a Japanese writer who committed seppuku after his failed "coup".

I just wanted to play the guitar, but it was the last, dark night of my life on the Boulevard of Broken Hearts, when I wasn't even supposed to party. It was the night my innocence was gone, and when I didn't think my life would end, but they couldn't hold my heart anymore. Then just a dark night. Poet's Note. Actor River Phoenix died of an overdose at a nightclub on Sunset Boulevard.

A moment before I died, I somehow managed to raise my hand to command, as it was accustomed to doing. They didn't listen, but I had time to see how afraid they were, even though I was helpless. They let me lie on the floor, waiting for me to stop breathing, so that they could breathe freely themselves, when I'm gone. Death will not end with me. Poet's note. Joseph Stalin is still known as one of the most cruel dictators.

I prayed for my unborn son, that he would be spared. I offered myself as their prisoner, but they would not spare me, not me, not my son. Blood, blows and blood... They wrote in my blood... I had become a Hollywood star, but I was murdered, buried with my son in my arms. So sad. Poet's note. Actress Sharon Tate was murdered by the Manson clan in a mass murder. She was pregnant.

I hated my name since I was a child. Little Boot, Caligula, what a name. No one dared to say it to me. I hated it when I was called a madman, never to me. I thought I was God, I was, I could do whatever I wanted. But the one I abused the most, that was the one that struck me first, and I cried blood. How was that possible. A poet's note. Caligula was assassinated. He was one of the most famous Roman emperors.

They call me the Sleeping Beauty. Actually, I was Rosalia Lombardo, I died when I was only two. My father couldn't bear to lose me, so I rest in my glass coffin in the catacombs of the monastery.

I only murdered those who opposed me for whom silver was not enough, then lead. Poet's note. Pablo Escobar is still a well-known drug lord long after his death.

I was Scarlett. I was chosen from thousands and I wasn't even American. I was Scarlett in my life and in my death. If not Scarlett, then Blanche.

Vivien Leigh is especially remembered for her role as Scarlett O'Hara.

It's better to burn out than to fade away. I didn't fade away, I just burned with a cold flame that burned me. I hope I'm remembered as a poet and not a rock star. That was too much for me. Millions admired me and I wondered why. A poet's note. Kurt Cobain committed suicide.

My world began to change into something that I no longer felt was my own. Life began to be a slow descent into darkness.

A poet's note. The actor Robin Williams committed suicide.
