His Last Moments

His Last Moments

A Poem by Siddartha Beth Pierce

Closed up in the car

you later gave me-

attempting to inhale

the fumes

yet you gave in

with your intentions-

opened the door

welcomed fresh air once more.

 

An attempt at something

I could not understand

yet you lived on

we were as One

for many years

together.

 

Then we parted ways

on friendly terms

speaking freely

from time to time.

 

You were engaged

to be married

happy once again it seemed

until the call came.

 

July, was your demise

taken by your own hands

this time for eternity

just like your grandfather

before you.

 

May you both

lay at rest

in peace and harmony-

why such things occur

I can not say

yet I will miss you anyway.

 

Sleep well

my dear friend.

Featured Review

The true feelings of your heart came outside into the forms of deepest write. The starting was started with the stunning moments but the ending comes ended with the 'Rest/Relax' of those moments. The moments which were alive at starting become 'Static' at the end of the piece. This poem's written with the true heart. Emotions're well poured into the poem as well, the mixture of love, life and emotions's immensely mixturized with the ocean of words. Flow's good.

Keep on!

It is so sad when someone gets to the point of not wanting to live no more... a very touching poem.
