Love Me When I Am Dead Poem by Anil Kumar Panda

Love Me When I Am Dead

Rating: 5.0


Don’t ever forget to give a look
To my grave laid below the tree
Where we used to meet in our youths
When both from mundane chores were free

Don’t forget to come with a flower
From garden behind my home
Hands around each other’s waists
Across the green carpet we used to roam

Don’t forget to sing a soft tune
Kneeling down near my head
Remembering meetings by the stream
And the moments of intimacy we enjoyed

Don’t forget to kiss the marble
I would like to feel your breath
Inside the musty dungeon I love you
Holding onto my chest your gift of a wreath.

When you are dead all that can be wished for is for you to be living. For the heartache when you have left is pure pain. I love the memories of the past that you have brought with these words. But Dead is dead and boy it hurts. Thank you Tiku

the last two lines are serene and touching, they in themselves make a poem.

A painful and touching poem indeed. It seems hurtful words are poured out from heart, though you have penned it very well. I am just wondering why everyone should remember especially after death, why not when alive? well to be frank, I also don't know the answer. It may be the wish everyone long for! ! ! !
