Poem

death is near-
a fading out    tomorrow will never be-
gone away        an empty shell will dwell

birds    and butterflies    come fluttering
on gossamer silky wings

wings soft as       a spider web
and the curtains stir               in the open window
death
 comes 
       like a bird of prey

drifting    silently
and hummingbirds hover   in heavenly     harmony
her
  hair
    streaming down her shoulders
the clock of time stops      the end has come
deep blue is the sky beyond this realm

birds   and butterflies    come fluttering
on gossamer silky wings
and hummingbirds hover   in heavenly     harmony

blue birds are twittering      in the trees
she breathes
   a long breath
        pauses
           and then
the moment of death    a heaviness descends

death comes
               like a bird of prey
drifting   silently
she hangs
  her head like a dead flower    the mind dies
a peacefulness    a light that fills the room    her spirit leaving

and on the bedside
    a beautiful bouquet of red roses     dulcet  full of scent 
oh her life was fleeting
     infused with happiness    beauty   laughter

the dream has ended   the final curtain has dropped
farewell my beauty  I kiss her lips    her still warm hand
     outside a gentle rain has begun
                 falling on    the weeping willow tree

my weeping tears
      dropping    soaking     her blanket

I am proud of this poem because I wrote right after the death of my friend, 
she died of cancer and I was with her at the end witnessing it through the eyes
of a poet.  It is my most viewed poem and I was able to capture the style 
of E.E. Cummings perfectly in my opinion.
