Her Death

its part two of "I Feel Your Toutch" th explanation

 

As the casket goes by

As her friends cry

As the women she saved talked

And tears rolling down her face

As if a dam had broken

She placed a rose on the casket

As the man she fell in love with

Speaks to all

As her casket was cared to her grave

As tears roll slowly down his face

As he tried to cope with the fact she wasn’t coming back

He walked over to her casket and placed a flower

Remembering the last few moments

Him cradling her head in his arms

Him telling her that he loved her

As she told him the same

Just before she closed her eyes

Eyes that would never open again

 

Remembering the time

When he finally realized he loved her

He was to propose

But trouble hit before he could

She saved a women’s life

One she didn’t even know

She was shot in the proses

And she died in his arms

 

The flag was felled and given to him

And as her cop friends placed her casket in the ground

As the shots rang out

As all who knew her cried

So young

So in love

And yet so died

[Barry S. Maltese]

What a great piece of poetry. Not only is this very creative, but it flows so well - filled with startling imagry. I am impressed

[James K. Blaylock]

This is such a sad piece, and yet these types of things happen far too often in our world. People giving their lives so others may live, very heartfelt and touching indeed.

The last line, I think it would be better if you changed it to "and yet so dead" really great job. now, if you'll excuse me I need to go find a box of tissues and something to stop me from feeling so attached to pieces of writing and movies and pieces of writing. Good job.
