Death Day

A somber night once more

Only a star showed light to my path

And my feet started to sore.

While everybody climbed to their beds

I found the dull place for my head

The sordid space is soothing

And created tranquil pleasure in my ears.

As I walked through the path I kept on thinking

What has happened after all these years

A looming shadow appeared

And the shrieking of the trees a cry

Along with lonely souls wondering, asking why.

I continued my walk

Until I came to my destination

My peace, my peace, my calming ocean

I slipped my body to fit the hole

Which is six feet underneath

And the ground was soft but was never moved.

How can a soul touch the ground?

The gloomy clouds rolled and cried so many tears

And the droplets fell to clean a granite rock

From which scribbled words appeared

A name of a girl and the date of her birth

And her death day is ...

Today


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Death is supposed to be peaceful .. so we shouldn't be afraid of it. But should we really wish for it?

i really really like this poem... its seems dark but peaceful at the same time if that makes sense... and i bet the poem called screaming you wrote is really good because all your poems are really good
