Death Promise Nothing Poem by Gerry Legister

Death promises nothing
But the future holds a new beginning
We will quench the color of pain.
And the flame untouched flutters here,
It's raggedy flags beating the air.
By rapture draw the uneasy gasp
Hasty calls of the scars and cause ask.

The wind that blows stripped our lives
Leaving trivialities and tragedies.
Embers of memories bound in all people.
like sorrow, you feel it most of all
The unveiling which makes us guilty.
Brings a smile and the look of beauty.

It has an ever-increasing anguish,
That blends our thinking with so much.
Life gave out shares and left all we wish.
Sorrow station here brings human grief,
indispensable joy restores immense relief.

The rhetoric of happiness,
Has become iconic and measureless.
In time, the loss will ease me of my pain
The sparkled robbed and given birth
To the ugliest kind of hurt.
The tiring faith of companion,
The reality of thinking left in oblivion.

Strip bare of thoughts, darkness has no end
It despises the meaning of a friend
Where the stars are stationed.
The void inherent of all people remained.
Upon a brink deemed a depth,
Paused in sleep, where angels heap.

In clouds, the greatest power found
Countless gems paint the surface beyond.
Lightening up the ceiling of glass heaven
Won through the conquest of trials given.
On earth, was pale and never bloomed,
But in death mercy gloom and glowed.

Things said were better left unsaid
Lent to dream and the emptiness craved.
Buried with the sense of distress
In the bank of heavenly riches.
Death promise nothing
more than the awakening
Out from our thinking.
