I'll probably die

07 Feb 2019

I'll probably die jotting down another sonnet 18
Or maybe trying articulate my very own
“do not go gentle into the night”
Or still marvelling the “Still I rise” classic.

I'll probably die teaching a rhyming scheme 
and when the prodigy the gets it right
probably my face shall beam
as the prodigy sees the light.

Probably I'll die with no metaphors 
or with ink dripping thru my pores,
Or maybe emphasising that a metaphor and a simile
are from the same family. 

Probably I'll die when I've used all my blood
or when they no longer weep when they read my thoughts,
Or perhaps when my thoughts are no longer loud
By then I may have conquered the demons I fight.

I'll probably die right after planting my Daisy's 
and ne'er see them blossom,
And shall that happen 
mother nature shall adopt them

Shall my demise be out of my unconsciousness 
may it not be in a detestable place,
Shall my ghost ascend again
I shall not dread wearing it with ignominy and pain

You may see the world thru my words. You may see yourself thru my words. But mostly you may assume my poetry is about me. If a line kicks off the edge, imagine what a poem would do.
