Death with a Smile ☺

By -

 Smile for this is a festive occasion 

Do not stand at my grave and moan

If I die descant praise in my name. 

Do not cry for I don't cherish your tears 

Death is just a progression, Smile 


In my grave, I am asleep

In my sleep am at peace 

In peace, I find my true self 

Death conveys the Truth, Smile 


I am a thousand breezes that blow.

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the soothing autumn rain.

Death is a chasm and a gift 


When you awaken in the morning’s hush

I am the swift enriching surge

Of modest birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Smile for Death it is not the end. 


Do not stand at my grave and cry;

I am not there. I did not die.

There is no night without a dawning

No winter without a spring

And beyond the dark horizon

Our hearts will once more sing…

For those who leave us for a while

Have only gone away into a brighter day. 


If I should die and leave you here awhile,

be not like others sore undone, who keep

long vigils by the silent dust, and weep.

For my sake – turn again to life and smile,

nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do

something to comfort weaker hearts than thine.

Complete these dear unfinished tasks of mine

and I perchance may therein comfort you.


Farewell to thee! but not farewell

To all my fondest thoughts of you

Within my heart, they still dwell.

Death is eternal but our love is forever.

Yours Truly

 As i end my life in Disappointed, having not found my one and only soul mate...  If there is a second time, let me rewrite my story as a Second chance is another story to be written.  I should have fainted in my life, it should have been that moment when My Love said, ‘I think we need a break.” I staggered in my thoughts having no clear path to follow. It was an afternoon with thick, dark grey clouds hanging precariously over us. It threatened to rain any moment and when the perfect opportunity of proposing is nigh, she says that!  The normal feeling would be anger but the shock was too strong that it made my anger submerge into oblivion.  She literally stole my heart and killed me from out of my comfort zone, i tried speaking, but even simple English became a challenge. After noticing my lack of words, she made up her mind that i was okay with it. How now! i tried sign language but i had dropped it after convincing myself talking is what am good at. I slowly f...

 This isn't it  I managed to ask her but needless to say she was numb. Not that i expected much but don't say i didn't try, I don't blame her anyway it is not a fairy tale with happily ever after... Let Me not divulge into details for the moment.....  I can't recall the specific date but the next day after we meet, we caught each other inside a spiders web with constant communication. Apparently we were 1 day old in our relationship but it felt like "This is it" i won't struggle to find a wife '" i whispered to my self..  we bloomed the first two weeks meeting every day like it was the last day.... We even ventured into Swvl an online bus ride.... it was cossy, private and cheap..... we used all our promo codes to ensure that we managed to book in advance for our trips... i admit i introduced the Swvl rides to her since i had been using them for quite a while but it was  going to be different since I was going to be with her.... The love of my...

Love Or Leave

Leaving Tell me if to you I was real. For I can't bear this, for real. Or should I try it, with Avril. For you are, a broken seal. Am succumbing to pain Pain , a pain with no gain. My words seem so plain.  But they hit harder than rain. It hurts to care excessfully. How I believed you fully. You smiled so beautifully. I talked to you so truthfully. Let's break strings of a pair. Cz I see you don't even care.  I can't withstand your stare. My eyes will be full of scare. I hate to think you heartless. And see you so careless. Why do you look tearless. It makes me feel hopeless. Is there a grimmer of love ? Or are you testing my love? Crazy,is it the name of love? Why can't I call you my love? Hug me before you leave  To help me mend it in the eve Of the day you go with Steve. I hate to see you like a hive. Go I will struggle to withstand The sight of your stand. Which I will try to understand. I go ,carring my begging hanLeaving Tell me if to you I was real. For I ca...
