A natural death
Yet all death is natural
A beginning must have an end
The cessation of life
But it hurts
It’s agony, it’s raw
Retching and choking on emotion
If tears were claret
You’d bleed out
Expensive too
When my day comes
Give me five more decades
When my day comes then
Bury me in a box
I’d like to leave you with more
Than my cynicism
Try to read
Something cheerful
No dirge, no shit like this
Something light, but no Blake
Wordsworth perhaps or even Poe
I’ll put the fun in funeral
So dance the dance of death and
Get ripped, pissed drunk on some
Strong scrumpy for this country boy

Very emotional piece, loved these lines :”If tears were claret
You’d bleed out”, even tho they are so true that it almost physicaly hurts to write this.
Thank you, really glad you enjoyed it 🙂
A sad poem but nevertheless a great write. Btw, thank you for following my blog. 🙂
