Best Corpse Poems
Walking CorpseA man does not die because
there is no ether
A man does not die because there is
no life
A man does die unless his soul wills
A man only dies when he forgets to
live.
For death of flesh is no death
But when a man's soul does,he...

On Viewing the Corpse of My Mother-In-Law[Please note: while this poem may seem harsh, my mother-in-law did much good in her long life, more than I expect I have. It was prompted by the 'shock' that death has the power to take even those with the fiercest of wills.]
How could this...thing...

Eyes Wide CorpseDefying realness
Telling me still more
She’s not what she appears to be, not now, not ever
Black, hollow portals to her self
I knew her
I loved her
I can still see her
Lying eyes wide on the white table
She still loves me
She will always star in my life’s fable
In...

Burn the Corpse of the SnakeBurn the corpse of the snake
make sure that he's dead
For all the wrongs he did commit
chop him up from tail to head
How brave he was behind your back
his ways were both wicked and q*eer
All the slimy ones that helped him out
give them a reason to...

''Whose Corpse This Is I Think I Know''Whose corpse this is I think I know.
Its grave is in the churchyard, though;
It will not see us stopping here
To hear its ghost cry out in woe.
My little boy must think it's *****
To stop without a graveyard near
Between the...

My Love Is Like a CorpseMy love is like a corpse
Upon the gothic floor
Where I have wept till soul is dry
With eyes like corpses when they rise
Behold the sun which melts away
Dying daily with no shame
What shone what found I cannot say
But love is cruel in its way
A kiss like...

Dancing With a CorpseOne summer night
I went partying until late at night
Seating alone away from everyone
She came in the dark
Sparkling white in resemblance
Neatly dressed in her colourful clothes
She took me by surprise when our eyes collided
She was in need of a companion
Then I asked her for a dance
She...

Ballad
A Talk With the CorpseI talked to a somber corpse as distant as lone
Transparent, defiant, obstinate, drone
It wanders aimless, no future nor past
It's given to whimsical, selfish, trespass
It said: "I glide through and live in the moment
I feed on blind choice, I scoff at opponents
I care not for laws,...

The Carcass Catacomb and the Corpse CanalsIn the dark recessions of the corpse canals,
Where the breaking of bones sounds the eerie air like the clanking of bells,
Where the tearing of tendons whistle and hiss,
Echoing across blood water lakes laced with piss.
Found deep within a Carcass Catacomb, where...

Corpse BrideShe was all alone,
Left under the ground,
For many lonely years.
She thought she had found someone.
But he turned out to be her worst fear.
He turned on her,
Like a snake can turn on a person.
He stabbed her in the back,
and stole her very treasure.
Left under the ground,
For...

CorpseOne moment, that is this!
No one ever ready for
A form lays motionless,
Breathless, unknowing
That it was or is!
Unconcerned for tears poured
Over the best it wore.
Awaits nothing,
Relies on nothing,
Happy to speak no more
Michael...
