My death will come someday to me
One day in spring, bright and lovely
One winter day, dusty, distant
One empty autumn day, devoid of joy.
My death will come someday to me
One bittersweet day, like all my days
One hollow day like the one past
Shadow of today or of tomorrow.
My eyes tune to half dark hallways
My cheeks resemble cold, pale marble
Suddenly sleep creeps over me
I become empty of all painful cries.
Slowly my hands slide o’er my notes
Delivered from poetry’s spell,
I recall that once in my hands
I held the flaming blood of poetry.
The earth invites me into its arms,
Folks gather to entomb me there
Perhaps at midnight my lovers
Place above me wreaths of many roses.
Ah, Jams. The peace of the night.
ReplyDeleteThat was incredible, with the picture being an added touch.
ReplyDeleteHow prophetic, since she was so young and her death was accidental.
ReplyDeleteThanks all Im glad you found this interesting
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, and so touching.
ReplyDeleteIt is Dragonstar. I'll be posting more of her work from time to time
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jams. She truly held "the faming blood of poetry."
ReplyDeleteIt was flaming of course.
ReplyDeleteShe certainly did!
