Poem: When I Closed My Eyes by JimsonJaat001(m): 10:33pm On Jan 24, 2016 |
It grieves me and I keep questioning It is above me and I am curious Where will I be? When my eyes closed for the last time When I knew no pains no more When life and its laws are things of yesterday When my world come to an end. When Beauty tease me no more When life's tricks has no effects on me When I say good bye to life and its golden wood lies When I want life surprises and its decay steel chairs no more When my soul know not what is done to body When I need no clothes but a pair When I need no house,no room but a space. Where will my eyes be opened to when the last pains are over After the Agent Death has done his mischief again When the businesses of the world concern me not again When what is inevitable stopped me from my career What will I see? It is above me,above my knowledge,above my craft,my art and guesses Where will I find myself,I wonder What will I be doing,I know not Is it underworld as myth say? A paradise or hell as I learnt? A narrow tunnel as they say? Or,a beautiful white house I know not Ha! Will I just hang up there in the sky? Or my soul be a wanderer on the facve of the earth I know not,I know not,but I wish I know. Where will I be? What will I be doing? How will I be treated? Where will I be,can I make it preparation? How will I be treated? Will I be another person with this soul? This life and its things will be forgotten and I will start afresh? Even those with longer years can't satisfy my curiousity It grieves me. I would have known I swear I would have known if those that have gone come back That place maybe another battlefield What will I find in life phase two? Will the struggle continue? Or,alas! It will be as peaceful as it is with the son of Mary? That place know but I know not. - Jimson Jaat Taofik |
