Notes About The Poem

Death Has Come and Gone

Death has Come and Gone

The full moon shines her ambient light
On the tranquility of the afterlife
Death has come and gone
The dusk forlorn… whispers of a dim song

Little has changed
I am in the same place
The same chair
Maybe needing a little air

The ice cubes exist no more
Death drifts infinitely away
Solitude was destinies tune
As all the songs quieted and died

Rivers dried
When the great flood of sadness
Overcame the skies
Balloons shriveled on top empty playgrounds

In life such as it was
I had no friends
The irony of it all
As here I am in sitting in my chair

In Death
Unnoticed, as days become months
I am surrounded by lovers of great compassion
As they devour the evidence of my existence

Only the skeleton is left
Along with an empty song

For death has but come and gone

I have high respect for you as a poet, I've read many of yours, and this like others is another gem in a distinctive Vaso style. You know how to decorate a poem with simple words. You are an excellent word artist.
