My Take On An Epitaph...
When alive, a corpse,in death now I shall live,
The only few things I wanted,that life could never give,
Gave everything else,gracious that it was,
To me an anathema,at best a lost cause...
Parody,travesty and derision of what I desired,
Of the opposite banter,I had indeed grown tired,
So away from sorrow,misfortune and the affront I received,
I embraced death for being perpetually well deceived...

So away from sorrow,misfortune and the affront I received,

The last poem that I ever wrote was "Proclivities Reversed on Tenterhooks" I consider it to be my chef-d'oeuvre that is my masterpiece...I would really be glad to hear your remarks on it,now that you have commented on my epitaph which was just composed in 8 minutes...
