My Last Words Poem by Enyinwa Okechukwu Enyinwa

My Last Words

Rating: 5.0


My life is floating on the ocean
of death, heading towards
internal peace with great pace,
'Please call me not, let peace
reign ' cry not let death not feel
supreme to my soul' let my grave
stone speaks my last words.

Utterly come from your hand to write a signal of inside...Enyinwa, This words will not be your last word, the ocean will send you home, the waves will push you to the beach...Till then our life all the same...floating of uncertainty...If the last words could be choosen so easy this is beautiful enough to be spoken on your stone (as you wish) .. :) _Unwritten Soul

Very good poem and written in the minimalist style I like. Great use of words to convey meaning through metaphor. Not a word is wasted nor a word misplaced.

This pain has deep social and psychological depth! 'Man's life is floating on the ocean of death gives an insight into the dreadful social reality. One can attain solution only when we are able to grasp the height of the problem. you have done a marvelous job! .

There is no way death would ever feel supreme to such a strong and beautiful soul. A soul that has the awarness and accepts the fantastic journey home to never die and lovingly folded into the arms of the perfect comforter. I feel I ride beside the poet who has opened his heart to speak of such a passage to forever. A wonderful poem Jim Troy

When life becomes much difficult to exist, death plays a genius act to guide us towards a meaningless journey. Better you feel love engraved in the grave stone which can dominate the feelings of death. CRY NOT LET DEATH NOT FEEL SUPREME TO MY SOUL'.... Salute you for this ultimatum. Brave utterance. Nice.
