poems by rabin When I nose-dive into the oblivion
Trembling,
her hands were,
when she found the suicide note on my bedside,
grabbed my lifeless body,
hoping that I shall breathe again,
hoping that I shall annoy her again,
hoping that I shall lover her again,
She was trying to remember the time I came to this land,
or should I say, when she brought me
Now that I am gone and rest in peace,
she cannot live, let alone rest,
In the vast emptiness, I am happy,
leaving her sad and mourning
But, I won't complain,
mother, my maker,
for this silence is better than the chaos of the cruel world,
I am sure I'll rest in utter peace,
for I know that we will meet beyond this land of sorrows.
A Poem
Suicide note. Leroi Jones wrote book of poetry called : "Preface To A Twenty Pound Suicide Note". I memorized parts of it. It was fabulous! To write as if dead - I am rejoicing in the light of living and breathing. So many of us (those I grew up with) did not make it. It is awful yes, but there is pretty and lovely and beautiful and etherial too. I choose (4 me) the brightness! - be well slc
