Buried

Buried A.W. Nutter Eyes wide open no light can I see Darkness completely enveloping me Movements constrained unable to rise Is this a dream have I met my demise My hands perform limited exploring Tears flow freely as I begin screaming My hope of escape begin to plummet Realizing I’m locked inside a casket Suddenly I hear a very familiar voice Be quiet darling this was my only choice Leaving me alone when I loved you so much I’d never let another woman feel your touch Keeping you near under six feet of dirt Is the only way I could ever find comfort My life is over, the way I meet my death Hearing her laughter as I take my last breath

This is really a haunting right--yikes to have someone love you that much to the extent of killing--that sure is scary! great read though :)

Scary thought. Enjoyed the poem though. I planned to be cremated after donating my body to science and have my ashed tosses at the same time with my husband's over the Colorado mountains where we met. That's his wish for the mountains. Enternal love. Ellen

What a horror scene this poem depicts, Anthony. It paints a vivid picture of what happens in a casket buried inside six feet of dirt. The light at the end of the tunnel is that this was the only way to meet the love that departed earlier. The grave is the vehicle for reunion of souls in the next world. Sad but extremely well written poem. Thanks for gracious felicitations on my poem, Do not Knock being featured this week and for your encouraging comments. -Mohammad
