What happens

What happens when you die?
The eternal (with no answer) question

What happened to all the humans since Day One
They disappeared into nothingness?

It would seem ridiculous for this nonsense
To have been created from nought and to go to nought

At one point I was not, at another I shall no longer be
I wish only for oblivion
No reception committee.

Great poems, can't wait to read more.

-My apoligies for my first response, couldn't quite figure out how to make a submission!

What happens when the clock strikes 12:00

We cast our worries to the wind,
Trying to make sense of this formality,
Our spirit transcends mortality,

Free from earthly ties,
We find our place in eternity,
Where we may so rest,
And put down our worries,

For better or worse, through sorrow and mirth,
We'll hold hands, embracing each other's worth
No matter the distance, no matter the time,
Or mark left on earth will certainly chime,

In life and love, our souls we stake,
We shall now wait for the final daybreak,
We now lie in the stillness of night,
Our love shining bright in the moon's light,

Uplifted and free, we will be serene
For death is the cost that has brung life to thee.

directly past the castles in the air
till on cloud nine it plops its derričre.

~Katja within the notes~

 
within the vodka notes  
you came to me  
& left your tiny hand prints  
on my spirit  
 
~*~  
 
stained with the color of pain  
you revealed yourself to me  
naked & pure of soul  
i weep for the beauty of it  
 
~*~  
 
i can't escape  
the feeling of melancholy  
that has taken hold  
after touching divinity  
in the flesh  
 
~*~  
 
you always dance just out of reach  
i touched heaven  
when you reached in  
then tasted hell  
after you withdrew  
 
~*~  
 
beautiful one with the tainted lips  
sorrow in your eyes  
i see past the cum soaked hollows  
 
~*~  
 
into fathomless depths  
that would drown any mortal  
foolish enough to take lightly  
the magnitude of your breath  
you breathe & the world awakens  
 
~*~  
 
within the vodka notes I met you  
& i will never be the same  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 *for the beautiful Earth_Child with all my love

Resurrection

Imprison resolution  
relinquish  
my  
mind  
Escaping the flesh  
That keeps  
me  
entwined  
 
In a passage  
of  
madness  
Envenom  
my dreams  
Anger be taken  
Beyond  
withered  
seams  
 
Dismantle  
the laughter  
Recycle  
my brain  
Capture  
this body  
And drain  
every vein  
 
Extract my spirit  
I have no objection  
The ultimate  
revenge  
Is resurrection

Nebula

in the stillness of the morning
I search for you, seeking
a sign, a whisper, a touch
upon my spirit, anything
that betrays your presence;
are you here with me now,
or have you gone beyond -
to become the nebula,
or perhaps a star?
have you found the peace
you were looking for?
I write to you at every sunrise,
hoping
you’re looking over my shoulder,
hoping
you read all the words
I couldn’t say to you
when your love was still
a tangible thing
