Best Sad Death Poems

Sad Death Of Her Lost, Tormented Lover 

As I walked out into bitter cold rain
Skies rush down to send even more hard pain,
No worry,  torment was long, long overdue
For my extreme folly abandoning you.
Castle now has no water and no bread
My heart weeps and...

When the earth crumbles            
Into something foreign and
Suffocates me—dead
Like a spider in the water,
I realise what has been bothering me all along:
It is my own mortality

A distant song
A bad fatality
A cool, unopened telephone
A modern...

Is death such a bad thing?
Its the end of all the pain and suffering,
If you could see the end of all your tears,
Death is not so bad, But I cant think clear.
Is death such a bad thing?
It would stop all the pain of a broken...

Old Death is a scar,
an empty eye socket, a lost limb.  
It has been grieved and we leave it alone
most of the time except on long drives
or sleepless nights.

New Death is a police siren behind you,
a baby crying for you in the night
in a...

Is death the end to our suffering 
Or the cessation of our existence?
Is death a new journey for our soul? 
Or is death our final eternal punishment?
Or do our souls get to rest peacefully
After a life of trials and tribulations?
Should we cry or rejoice when
Death...

Pain, excruciating pain
Gripping spine, disabling 
Till vigor and strength drain
 Prayers you chant and Hymns sing

Hospital, Doctors, MRI’s and X-rays
Cash, Debit Cards, depleting bank account
Money vanishes, but pain stays
Nothing could misery surmount

 Calves stiff, nerves sore
Walking with stick, still in pain
Whoever said, whoever swore
“Pleasure and...

They had his life story twisted as he plotted his death in advance
outsmarting his enemies evading cops and *****es
People hated him they wanted him dead
They said that he was good for nothing
Humiliated him showed him as a negative image in the public trying to
take him...

The old man and his grandson viewed 
A barren bladeless ground. 
When to his left the young lad's eye 
Saw bleached bones scattered 'round. 
'Twas more than one beast's bones that lay 
There exposed to the sun. 
It seemed more like a battlefield 
Where only...

A lonely forlorn figure stands, shoulders slumped, life's energy sapped. A Face much older than the years, looks up at the arrival board, delayed not coming, lost walks in a daze, a mind crash too! Called to a meeting they all file in, media in...

shroud of haze engulfs
the earth as the news of thy death arrives,
And the slums of Calcutta,
from where you lifted the forsaken for care,
look dispossessed.

In thy death the world has
lost an apostle of compassion
who transcended the barriers of
caste and creed in disseminating love

A universal mother thou...

On the hill, a mother 
is desperate to nurse babies
who have gone still and silent, 
with milk they'll never take

She knows they are not sleeping 
but cannot bear to leave them, 
so licks their tiny faces, 
that they might come awake

She thinks if she can...

We met when I was just thirteen.
You found me there—
Alone in the cold, numbing blizzard
They clung to each other for warmth
But you found me there—
Trembling and weak from the cold,
And you clung to me. 

Your advances unsettled me at first.
Why should I let you in?
You...

 RHYTHM OF LIFE

Good day to all the head in casket,
Goodnight to the soul in silent,
Hi,to my sometime to come friend.

How I wish, we all can change our fate,
But death will have no meaning
But a sticky spade shade.

Life, what a race,
By sight we face,
By height...

Here comes Death Galloping,                                 
To take away the child in you;
Leaving behind lust...

Thy young maiden,
Peck her Lily flower a shake. 
A brittle sound of break,
Sobbing till tears make.
 
Bare feet on wet grass. 
Alas, her life, soon ‘twill pass. ...
