I sensed myself sinking down
Culminating the stuccoes of existence
Crossing denouements of mortality
Obeying the laws of life's caducity
And defying the clusters of earthly brevity.
My nostrils perceived the essence
Beyond the sod
My ears apprehended the sounds
Of heavy metal spades
And my eyes saw the quietus
When the granules of clods broke
And made space for me
To lie amongst them
While my body felt the ache
When I was being gently graved.
I roused to realize
That my sweven
Toured me down
To the afterlife lane
To forgraith me
For the next realm of existence.

Painful Denouements
The
stories,
deep music,
showcase sorrow
and sad denouements
depressing heart and mind
with the grief of lost love, death.
Shocking endings stab with torment;
yet we crave woeful scenes even though
opera brings heart-wrenching conclusions.
