Life is
Death is knots
A box of thoughts
Innate
Is not that above?
A twisted thing to ponder
Staring at 
A wilted rose by the casket out yonder

Casket open 
clothes arranged 
flowers placed 
everything in its place

The three old Irish women stood over the casket.
They spoke
“Ah, poor man, he had a troubled life”
 “But now his problems are over”
“Or just beginning.”

There once was a timid young mummy
His attire incredibly crummy
	He draped a dinner jacket
	across his golden casket
Now the pretty ghouls are more chummy

The Widow

She tipped the casket, praying hard,
Her final chance to say adieu,
His ashes flowing down the stream,
She sobbed, ‘My life has gone with you.’

Dead in my basket
So i made a casket

And Eventually throw

Did drive dangerously taking a spill;
Died and my cute casket  I now fill;
In bright sun baking;

I felt a funeral, in my brain
Somber people gathered
All in black
So many tears

People DID Care!!

The Casket

The Casket
I saw a coffin the church
Didn`t see the body
The casket was bare
No flowers
They are wasted on the dead
I have no religion
For me, death holds no sting
It is merely the end of life.

Rose

Love, Hate, Life, Death,
The Rose is all of them enmeshed.
The blossom of Admiration grows,
As do the hateful thorns of Rose.
Accompanied by Spring in Life,
It follows the casket in death and strife.

Dissolute Permanence

I glow in the dark
In my living casket
Foul bioluminescent
Engulfed in the scent
Self-offering present
I'll curb the descent
Corpse waters relent
I'm back at the end
From this I contend
My incessant event
