The fog creeps by, rolling over my toes
Slowly I fade at peace in shadow
In life there were laughs and smiles and tears
experiences shared, realisation of fears
We made memories but by memory's law
They will die a sharp death on the blackened shore
When I am gone.
The loss of life, the gain all blown
So many a word claimed all were unknown
Promises of riches by account of action
The tally dependent on the subscribed faction
They do not understand but all will see
Only one way over can there ever be
When I am gone.
They knew me they said, knew who they saw
The pictures and words and all I stood for
The sum of life counted by what was left
Some laughed at my passing, few were bereft
No matter I say, no matter it truly is
All end to end be it crackle or fizz
When I am gone.
In passing the highs of happy and love
The hand of pain chose to wear no glove
Many lives crossed, many a scarred word
Life paths changed if never be heard
Destiny and fate, uttered into the winds
Living under the directions of other's sins
When I am gone.
In world of care, a world of scorn
A world tied up with bows, brick and horn
The story of one blended into the many
All continue a pauper, undollared, unpennied
The bodies are gone, poorly they travel
So many fibres knitted start to unravel
When I am gone.
To live a full life is to embrace the will
Look into the dark and move further still
Be shouldered by those kneeling or tall
Walk fast, run slow, tumble and crawl
All destinations lead onto the pointed
The sharpened spear of the never anointed
When I am gone.
The shadows of me get thrown up high
To be caught by the wings of the clear sky
Carried far across land, forest, sea
Returned to the place that first found me
Standing by stone, tree or plot
In time, in time, you will remember me not
When I am gone.

this is beautiful. Loved this verse;
It seems you had to soberly reflect on death today. I can feel the mood of the poem as that of disenchantment.
I tried the end rhyme too but was not successful. Lol. Beautiful poetry

@tarazkp ...its my pleasure reading this.
You writing on this reminds me of Rory Feek who was confronted with having to say goodbye to his beloved wife, Joey. He composed a special song to remember her by after she has gone.
And that song he titled it WHEN I AM GONE
I so much appreciate the poetry, keep up the good work and i am expecting to see more of this

Deep emotions you've injected here...
Your couplet style with their end rhymes are thrilling, gives a reason to read on.
Your refrain "When I am gone" is as emotionally gripping as it is structurally placed at the perfect spaces.
We, @poeticnest would love to read more from you. Deep poets like yourself are rare. Do follow us as we will follow your every post.
Good poetry.
(P.S. this kind of poetry outta be read at least twice to get to understand the hidden truth between each couplet.)

muchas gracias @tarazkp siempre me pregunto y reflexiono sobre como sera después que ya no estemos, tu poema me hizo recordar sobre muchos pensamientos efímeros, cuando nos hayamos ido quedaremos en las memorias de algunos, en fotografías que el tiempo ira marchitando, todo mantendrá su curso, todo seguirá igual sin nosotros. saludos

Very much enjoyed your poem!
Didn't know what to say so I made Haiku versions of your stanzas for fun!
Memories fading
At peace within the shadow
The final sharp death
Sacrificed so much
Those worldly riches denied
For that unknown shore
Petty words remain
No love, family, or friends
A grief-less passing
Those exquisite pains
Lifes loves and destiny's path
Driven by their Sins

"To live a full life is to embrace the will
Look into the dark and move further still"
These two lines just hit me the most. ❤❤ What I've understood is that, we should live life well according to the will of our Creator. Though life is not a comfortable ride all the time since we may go through darkness -- the problems and challenges, we just have to keep going because in darkness, there's always light. And in that light, our life is given another hope to be considered a life lived well before we'll finally be gone from this world.
