Tell Me

Tell her, what is death?

Pray, tell me,

What is death?

A reason to part,

Or one to nestle you closer?

For I know you still lay next to me

And send your sweet kisses my way

Should I lose faith

And stop doing the same?

 

Pray, tell me,

What is death?

A way for you to leave,

Or one to hold me forever?

For I know you still hug me when I cry

And rock me to sleep.

Should I lose faith

And let you fade away?

 

Pray, tell me,

What is death?

A reason to forget you

Or one to remember you forevermore?

For I know you still hold my hand

And hug me when I’m cold.

Should I lose faith

And leave you all alone?

 

Pray, tell me,

What is death?

A reason to shed tears,

Or one to smile?

For I know you still guide the stars to me

Just to see me smile

Should I lose faith

And stay stuck on the bridge

Between us?

You seem to do a bang-up job with/without sinpiration... So... Keep at it, the stars shine sometimes wanes, but it comes back for the faithful who wait... This expressed that beatifully... Inspiringly penned...

Not much to say, just,
Pray, tell me,
What is poetry?
Is it what Vasilees write?

This is beautiful, really very impressive. Keep writing!

[Vasilees Sybissyl]

Very flattering, dear. Thank you! Love ya'!

This is actually an amazing line: "A way for you to leave, Or one to hold me forever" regarding death... But the whole poem was stunning... The concept of it was great, good structure, the the question "what is death?" is an age old question all of us can relate to. Well done, thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much for your constructive words! Yep, I really like those lines too. Thanks again for your time.
