Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

Midnight Pain

The attack came at midnight racking 
me with pain!
So bad, I thought I would go insane.
I took some medicine for it...
Relief came a little, I sighed, a bit.
Wondering if these were my final moments..

What is death like ~does He come dressed in 
black or white?
Above all is my conscience right?
Shall I be going be to hell or to
heaven?
I don't want to go, I want my fresh 
breakfast in sunlight at seven!

But..God, I won't see my daughter
or grandson anymore,
These two beings, full 

The attack came at midnight racking

I don't want to go, I want my fresh

But..God, I won't see my daughter
or grandson anymore,
These two beings, full of life, once I
am behind Death's door!

It gives one pause, to think..never more.
So, I ask God for a few more years...
With true friends, not those out to jeer.
God knows my intentions, so I give my
cat a hug, a kiss, and cheer!

We can cry and moon over the dead
with such passion!
But what about the living, no, we show
no compassion?

Billions have died since the world began,
for them do we weep.
But to the living? We ignore them like
unwanted sheep!

Withholding love and destroying others?
Then wonder..why we cannot sleep
under expensive, soft covers!of life, once I
am behind Death's door!

It gives one pause, to think..never more.
So, I ask God for a few more years...
With true friends, not those out to jeer.

Withholding love and destroying others?
Then wonder..why we cannot sleep
under expensive, soft covers!

Victor Buhagiar August 16, 2021 at 7:55 AM I like the idea of meditating on death, especial if lime me death seems so near. Alas we all have to go. Hugs Panagiota Romios August 16, 2021 at 8:11 AM Victor..Most do not want to think of it all all? They hide from it. We are both older, but death visits the young, sad to day. I think we are blessed to have been here this long. Bless you))) Love, Panagiota
