Death is but an absence
Of the mind’s activity
While held in captivity
Of the depreciating body
That it used to control.

The Unexpected
It is cold
Dreary damp and dark
Nothing to keep me company
But the absence of
Your smiles as a tickle touches your sides
Brought from unexpected fingers
Your eyes as they stare deeply into mine
Telling each other secrets of their own
Your hand grasping mine
A lifeline holding me next to you
Grounded in our world
Your laugh as it sings melodies into the air
A tune I would often long to hear
You. Only a memory
That I can’t hold on to
Beyond this journey
From life to… The unexpected.
You’re alive while I’m here.
You are lost to me
But I”ll be here
Waiting for you to join me.
Greet you with
All the joys we once shared.
You will find me
And we will
Never be lost again.
Fade Away
Cherubic smiles
Pinched pink blossomed cheeks
With springy hair
Amateur limbs
And inhibitions.
Slanted smiles
Red rushed rosy faces
While taming tangles
With experienced limbs
And imaginary invincibility.
Frowning
Gray
Lifeless
Flaccid
And Deteriorating.
Faces fading
Along with memories
Until nothing precedes you
And your soul succumbs.
