Best Hereafter Poems


Premium Member Hereafter
Living on a planet, unsure if I belong 
Where only sand grains and fossils, seem to last long 
The instinct to breathe air, compelling me along 
And the miracle that’s water, strives to prolong 

Hear the wind blow 
bending the trees 
Feel the bones crack...

He asked his flock if they believed in the Hereafter

     Amen, pastor, they said amid much joy and laughter!

          Hereafter, when the plate is passed

Premium Member Will Hereafter Come
Just when I followed night's evanescing sheen
behind a  rock-- on this quiet lake,
the humped seashell  drifted on:
      I laid there forlorn by an old palm tree
            ...

Thinking Hereafter
I shall go weary with a fight, 
Into that strange and ever night, 
Across the bounds of thistle-thorns, 
To dance a jig neath golden horns; 
Perchance, I breathe a sulfured air, 
For earning less than heaven’s fair, 
I’ll take my place within the blaze, 
To...

"The Sensual Hereafter"

we rise 
like flotsam 
and jetsam

our colours 
always
sting 

our time 
lost in the 
sun setting

every now 
and again
we find love

it’s a returning
to departure 
that requires 

the long kiss goodnight
that deserves a 
close remembering

when the 
message 
is found in the 

sensual 
hereafter

we deliver

Asked if they believed in the Hereafter

     Amens echoed from every rafter

          The preacher rejoiced

               Then this plea...

"Hereafter, unidentified"
 
Unidentified
a whole world 
submerged 

in a dream 

Mysterion 
in solitary seas
messages 

stolen 
from a heart
last minute 

in another’s 
dream 
meaning seized

siren
calls 
from the seabed

identified,

unidentified

HEREAFTER


Hereafter,
What are you?
Are you a friend or a foe?
The end or the beginning? 
A blessing or a curse ? 
Fear or intrepidity? 
Rapture or despair?
Damned or holy?

No matter what your
Nature is,
Ready I would be for you, when the 
Time will draw near,
Effort to sooner come...

Cold
And
Lonely 
Indigo 
Night that inspires to
Envisage a perpetual 
Outcome to your future that serves as a catalyst 
To the soul, leaving an omniscient wisdom that transform you in the azure morning

Hereafter, I Come To Go
The gravity above bends all curvature.
Rusty creases smooch the downpouring nectar,
leaving hints of shaky aches here and there.
More of it can split smiles and slit tears.

Nails intrude into the forbidden territory.
Drill repeatedly to fill air in, get gas out--
until no substance is not depleted.
Why stuff...

Beloved Pets In the Hereafter
Our Beloved Pets await us in the place that follows this.
And when next I see them, each one I'll give a Kiss!
In my heart and soul - I know I'll find them there.
Believing otherwise would be too much to bare.

They're playing, pouncing, and keeping each...

Premium Member Meet Me There
Meet me there ...
Be it rain or shine,
Since I like both
Any weather is fine

Find me there ...
With those already met,
To mingle there ...
With ones I haven't yet

In a good place where 
We can laugh and smile,
And talk to the ones
Not seen in awhile 

I'll be...

People of this Temporary World
“Oh people of this temporary world..
May you enjoy the abundance of its trivial offerings..
You have no clue of what I see and yearn for..
And, how could you, as the death is the end of the road..
But, for the lover, it’s the union with the beloved.....

Premium Member Some Day I Shall
Some day I shall leave this world and find
Proper responses to questions I have asked
Leaving earth’s thorny issues far behind,
Some day I shall leave this world and find
A completely new outlook for this mind,
And have my life purposes clearly defined.
I will take up important everlasting...
