Agony Of The Dead

Srividya Subramanian posted under Poetry on 2023-08-06



I rest upon my grave Among withered flowers, Whom I never held close, My only companions Now, who aren’t so morose.  I rest upon my grave In deep, abysmal peace, Although, I would rather Console my little son Mourning his dead father. I rest upon my grave, Dry-eyed in memory Of once a handsome man Parading his presence Before his entire clan. I rest upon my grave A mere guise of myself On a hard earthy bed Sought after when alive, Superfluous when dead.     Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
