Death

of the Freudian brothers I must say
I prefer intercourse
wild agonizingly hot sex
lovers dangling on the edge of bed
intellectual stimulation at ********’ beckoning
a ride into near oblivious bliss
crescendo climax culmination recovery

but at the end of what is called life
the moribund cannot chose
and smell of physical loving may turn distant

all I ask is for a peaceful good bye
a last holding of hands
the promise of memories
last recall of pheromones
and letting go

nothingness is highly underrated

Engaging poetry, Kai, and a bit philosophical. I enjoyed the read. Write On! A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Nothingness goes by instantaneously Kai, from its own point of view, because it doesn’t have one, so we best make the most of those moribund moments, and you do quite beautifully and peacefully here, but like yourself I much prefer your first stanza of near oblivious bliss, brilliant writing, cheers David

Another powerful poem Kai. Your last line is meaningful for me. Linda

Indeed and is not death immediate and intimate, as breath exhalation, replayed moment to moment?
