Final Memory
A Poem by
Jack...
When
death on darkened skies
through my window
flies
My
wish in pleading sighs
is that before my
eyes
Your
face is what I see
of this last breath I
breathe
So
nothing else shall be
my final
memory

Rita, always I enjoy your visits to my poetry. Thank you so very much.
The desire to see someone's face one last time... Well-articulated. A poignant piece.

Thank you so very much Diana
It would be nice to have someone to share life with, until death. I'm sure it happens all the time right? LOL

I guess it does somewhere my friend, at least in poetry. Thanks so much.
This poem was haunting and beautiful - but there is a sadness to it I can't articulate. Perhaps it is in the knowing that everything ends.

So succinct and so loving. Let death not be our final journey for the energy of love exists within us and I hope beyond us. It's a beautiful poem Jack.

Thank you so much my sweet friend.
What a wondrous poem. Am thrilled reading the poem. It's a poem with Rhyme, of deep thoughts, of deep imaginations and of course a poem that's written in a very harmonious way. Beautiful work.
