Salams:
Guys you are requested to participate in polling to choose the best poem of the month on the topic "death". Here are the poems:

Poem #1
Death is forever
So don't flirt with suicide
Death is painful
Stay away from knives
Death is not for lovers
So don't lie
Death is not for me
So don't even try
Death is clever
So be careful
Death is never fun
Stay away from strangers
Death is never pleasing
So don't get caught up in the hype
Death is never fair
So get use to it
Death is always occurring
So don't ignore it
Death is never what you expected
Sorry but it has to happen
Death is not for you
Please don't give up

Death is forever
Death is for Sure

by: Anonymous


Poem #2

HER suffering ended with the day,
Yet lived she at its close,
And breathed the long, long night away,
In statue-like repose.

But when the sun in all his state
Illumed the eastern skies,
She passed through Glory's morning gate
And walked in Paradise
.

by:
James Aldrich (1810-1856)


Poem #3

when I die
when my coffin
is being taken out
you must never think
I am missing this world

don't shed any tears
don't lament or
feel sorry
I'm not falling
into a monster's abyss

when you see
my corpse is being carried
don't cry for my leaving
I'm not leaving
I'm arriving at eternal love


when you leave me
in the garve
don't say goodbye
remember a gave is
only a curtain
for the paradise behind


you'll only see me
descending into a grave
now watch me rise
how can there be an end
when the sun sets or
the moon goes down

it looks like the end
it seems like a sunset
but in reality it is a dawn
when the grave locks you up
that is when your soul is freed


have you ever seen
a seed fallen to earth
not rise with a new life
why should you doubt the rise
of a seed named human

have you ever seen
a bucket lowered into a well
coming back empty
why lament for a soul
when it can come back
like Joseph from the well

when for the last time
you closed your mouth
your words and soul
will belong to the world of
no place no time

By:RUMI (translated by Nader Khalili)



Poem #4

It stalks the night, it stalks the day
It seeks out life, and it’s just a min away
It’s known as death and other things too
But at the moment, what matters is you

How do you see it? What does it mean?
It’s best if you know, for death is unseen
It can take you at day it can take you at night
Knowing death well, can lend you some light

The passage to death, is always unclear
And it’s sad to know, that you’re never here
It’s hard to live, for your hearts desire
Not to stumble and fall, and burn in fire

A fire for life, to live for each day
To reach out for your dreams, no matter what people say
Live for the moment, and die for it too
For it’s the moment that counts, it’s me and you
Just remember one thing, live for the day

by: Kellianne Morton



Poem #5

In death there is beauty
We will sleep like angels
With the tranquility of innocence

Death will not conquer our love
As we are bounded by memories,
And our love will flourish

Death is our sadness
For I will long for your flesh,
But our journeys will not be far apart

Death is our sanctuary
From the woes of life;
In death we will find peace

Death brings us unwavering hope
For the time of resurrection;
In death we will find love eternal.

by: Bernice W. Wilson
