After Life Poems

Premium MemberIf I see you in heaven

If I see you in heaven,
will you still be eleven?
Or will you have grown into a man ~ dark, handsome, and tall?

And when we converse,
will you be able to expound on the universe?
Or will your thinking still be eleven years small?

After Life A Whisper

When the stars scatter in silence above,
And the winds sing through the slumbering trees,
I will slip through the shadowed grove,
In the quiet world that brings me peace.

No longing binds, no tear nor sigh,
For life has shed its heavy chain,
I am a ghost of breathless sky,
Wandering through fields after rain.

There is no fear, no pain to

Premium MemberTo Whom Does This Come

What’s left behind is the fragrance of the lilac 
Crushed between forlorn fingers
Petals held in contorted hands 
Once lust rendered dust the terrain shall cover
Fierceness is abandoned forgiveness is given
To whom does this come, whom shall it deem
As father time allots and consumes
Pro tem I am, pro tem I am
an irrepressibly creative force
Manifesting myself

Is the after life heaven
Is the after life hell
Is the after life decomposing
as the worms eat their fill
Is the after life reincarnation
as someone or something new
Is the after life what you believe it to be
as that what happens to you

In the end, what is there to be, but alone?

To recognize at last and say goodbye

To all those things that were not I;

To join the others who wait eternal

For another touch of another breath that is life;

The passage that returns and returns,

As we start alone, and end alone,

And in between have those great and grand

When You Die, Your Mom Drops By, By Davieo, David Rothchild

When You Die, Your Mom Drops By, by Davieo, David Rothchild

When you die
Your Mom drops by
To say hello again
Pour love into your soul like the rain

When you die
Your Mom drops by
Like a birdie
Away happily you'l fly

When you die
You can see
All around easy'n free
Under a bright warm loving sky

When you die
All pain is gone
Relieved you'll sigh
Wondering

"From deep within my heart
I always catch the scent
of my Beloved. How can I
help but follow that fragrance?"    By Rumi

AFTER LIFE

Her scent! Her scent! The best of life!
I watch her move - the smile, the curves.
Sixty-one years she’d been my wife.
The light projects - my mind observes.

Perfume, present, in our sweet home.
Doesn’t

Beautiful canvas beautiful skin
arrested smiles 
burgeoning love 
seeping into me

oh, come on, karma talk
like a french lover:

"La vie est une fleur dont l'amour est le miel."

| Life is a flower of which love is the honey
and it is making me feel ill and cloudy. |

Is this what we lovers get?  Is this what lonely

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust,
body form returns to earth’s crust,
whilst soul eternal, yet lives on,
soon in another realm reborn,
until each desire’s relinquished
and all ego spawned fears vanquished.

Life After Life

Life is a surrealistic ship
  commanded by divine pilots
  that transports us frame by frame
to a strange planet
which is called timeless,
where are we going to live
as if born -again.,
to  accomplish the mission started here,
without us knowing how...

Earth life a hard school, we need to get through
It is a springboard for our soul’s ascent
Spoilt for choice, our heart’s dark desires pursue
Heeding not conscience, to grant love consent 

Head-heart discord, plunges our soul in fear
We are lost in this world of illusion
Though wheel of time snatches all we hold dear 
We accept not

Tree After Life

Mother nature’s trees shudder in the breeze,
Clothed in ashened sky,bearing angry eye.
The winds conversation with birds to flock,
Branches of two trees interlock.

Angry eye is sporting black,
The fight for supremacy notoriously back.

Rabbits and squirrels retreat with their fear,
As an audience of trees lean as they peer.

Returning bird to referee,
The elderly tree resumes paying his fee.
His younger

in the chill of morning air
a presence surreal yet tangible

its silence a fulfilled longing
as the sun begins to rise

life in all its glory revealed
within a grander plan

still the cynic caterpillar
refuses to believe
