Life After The Poetfreak Era Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Life After The Poetfreak Era

Rating: 5.0


Again a Carpe Diem

I died a thousand times
and still, I do many times a day
what would I experience this morn
intentions to live and to enjoy
The bullet tore my heart, time and again

No known faces at my funeral, only you I recognize
I have enjoyed the life and love with you
every passion, every sigh
but when you must climb higher on that mountain
every step to the top was too high

Mediocrity is not in your dictionary
I heard that once, I won´t forget
I died that day another death
myriad tears, too young to die
resurrected again, I never asked why

Then uplifted again I died this grief
golden sunshine comes after murky days
moonlit nights occurred and dreary afternoons
why are these toes constant on the move
having true love, no need to prove

My deathbed is appearing again
upon my pink and purple canvas
love worshipped me, now smashed me again
I forgot whole rhymes in my requiem
intend to be steadfast and stick
to my Carpe Diem!

====================================
Translation into Dutch:

LEVEN Na POETFREAK Era
Nogmaals een 'Carpe Diem', Pluk de Dag

Ik stierf duizend keer
en nog steeds, ik doe vele keren per dag
wat zou ik deze morgen ervaren
intenties om te leven en te genieten
De kogel scheurde mijn hart, keer op keer

Geen bekende gezichten bij mijn begrafenis, alleen jij die ik herken
ik heb het leven en de liefde van je genoten
elke passie, elke zucht
maar als je hoger op die berg moet klimmen
elke stap naar de top was te hoog.

Middelmatigheid is niet in jouw woordenboek
ik heb dat eens gehoord, ik vergeet het niet
ik ben die dag nog één keer doodgegaan
talloze tranen, te jong om te sterven
opnieuw opgewekt, ik heb nooit gevraagd waarom.

Toen ik weer opgewekt werd, stierf ik dit verdriet
gouden zonneschijn komt na de duistere dagen
maanbeschoten nachten en dronken middagen
waarom zijn deze tenen constant in beweging.
Met ware liefde, geen behoefte om te bewijzen

Mijn sterfbed verschijnt opnieuw
op mijn roze en paarse doek
liefde aanbad me, sloeg me nu weer op de grond
ik vergat hele rijmpjes in mijn requiem
plan standvastig te zijn en vasthoudend
aan mijn Carpe Diem!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
This poem is about Life, Love and Metaphoric Death. Read not only this poem, but read also between the lines, what kind of associations one will get while reading this poem. After that, this poem needs pondering upon. The poems of Sylvia Frances Chan oft have deeper meanings than only visible. The card she designed is from the time that the Poetfreak Community still existed and this was the period after a heaviest hacking and the members had no friends' list yet. This is the first time Poetfreak got its friends-list. The members were very glad about the forthgoing of PF. PF had won the World's First Prize forPoem Site, the Best Ever in 2012. The owner of PF announced that on our late PF poem site.

Indeed, poetry is no fun without meanings within meanings, three dimensional voices spice meter and oh yes, hyperbolic fodder is the taste for the pallet of desire here, purple canvas is fitting for royalty as your poem is clothed with it, great write!
