Is This All that Love Can Do?

Contributed by Freak-of-the-Week on Saturday, 17th December 2005 @ 01:52:28 AM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry






Is this all that love can do--
buy some dirt and stone?
Perhaps a lovely bouquet, too...
now these are all you own.
Death has stolen everything
and left you in the past;
you've been expecting it for years--
it always comes so fast.
But now you have a bouquet here
placed just above your head...
though what good does a flower do
when given to the dead?
Is this the fate we're all made for,
to live and die in vain?
Is there truly nothing more
beyond this earthly plane?
So is this all that love can do--
buy some dirt and stone?
Is this all that God can do--
let us die alone?

Yes because the process of life is death...
Man, Woman, Child then death awaits all of us ... Its a blessing to have life without famine or disease...
I feel your emotions about life and death...
Death is love love is death life brings joy then we are laid to rest...
Who knows where the afterlife proceeds but remember sex brings life love then death....
