Quotes and Poetry on death

A cemetry, an odd beauty
with all secrets buried

Sitting on a windowsill.

Meera, sat on a windowsill, with a cup of tea in one hand and 'god of small things' in the other . While listening to mesmerising music of sirimiri, she completed her book and gulped down her drink. Meera started looking outside the window sill, and started feelings the warmth of rain, it was a good book indeed. She suddenly heard the siren of ambulance tearing the beautiful rimjhim of rain.
Her heart started feeling the burden of grief. Her terrifying past was reapproaching her , the same very past which she had closed within her books somewhere.

3 years ago

Meera was waiting for her 5 year old daughter, Kiara and husband to return from PTA meeting, She never attended Kiara's PTA meeting because of Kiara's demand of spending time with her dad.
5 hours had already past and there wasn't any sign of return .
Initially Meera thought that they must be spending time with Kiara's grand mother ,as they used to do. So she decided to call her mother in law.
Meera- Mummy ji, Namstai
Mother - Yes meera, good afternoon, it'd be well and good to greet me in sophisticated English words.
(Meera's mother in law always nag her because of her middle class values.)
Meera-Yes mom, I will take care of it from next time. Now can you please give the phone to Kiara?
Mother - Kiara? They have already left my house an hour ago. They must be on way.
Meera- Ok mummy ji, have a great day.
Meera hung up the phone and started worrying about her daughter and husband.
She went to the window sill and started wondering about her loved ones.
2 hours had already past and meera was still sitting on the window sill. Rain had become more stronger and intense.
Meera unknowingly had fallen asleep. But her peaceful sleep was disturbed by a siren of ambulance. She looked out of window and noticed an ambulance had stopped in front of her house. Ambulance men brought 2 bodies covered in white cloth.
Meera's heart started pounding loudly..She ran towards the Ambulance. Her whole body was covered with water. She slowly uncovered the veil of bodies. It was her daughter kiara covered with blood and other one was her husband. Her body was numb because of cold rain water, her heart was not responding and brain wasn't working. They met with an accident, that's what doctor said. She lost her senses and fainted at that very moment.
Today...

Her heart again started pounding after seeing the ambulance. She calmly drew the curtains went to her library (Kiara's room which she had converted into a Library) and picked out a book among hundreds of unread ones.
'Death; An Inside Story: A book for all those who shall die - by Sadhguru ' was what the cover of book said.

The quote mentioned below is take from The god of small things, by Arundhati roy.

Sitting on a windowsill

"It is curious how sometimes the memory of death lives on for so much longer than the memory of the life that it purloined.”

The God of Small Things.

The Waves

The ocean whispers sweet nothings in your ear,
As you succumb to the worst of your fears.

Its difficult to accept
That you are about to drown and die,
The tears that escape mingle with the water as you cry.

You hear a voice murmer your name,
From beyond the grave is where it came.

The voice fills you with warmth
Creeping into your chilled limbs.
The voice belongs to him.

He died the same way,
You knew you'd see him again some day.

The cold reawakens ans caresses your skin,
You fight with all your strength,
But the water will always win.

The plague we called COVID

My heart aches and my soul shakes
When i remember the dread of that plague
Its horror and its stories still keep me awake
Millions died and millions cried but some still called it fake

I remember when i was locked in my own house
I felt like a prisoner who can't even meet his own spouse
How long is it gonna be that was all i used to browse
There were countless nights i was restless like a mouse

I lost many friends to that scary plaque
Everyone was fighting for humanity's sake
Everyone united together since everything was at stake
Millions died and millions cried but some still called it fake

I still remember the view of crematorium from my window
Where many dead souls were brought and burnt in a row
I still can't believe how such a little virus can be our biggest foe
My best friend suffered for months and then died very slow

Now that we have almost won this ugly war
But remember my friends another one is not far
I thank all the heros who attained martyrdom
We will always cherish you and bow down at your tomb

Not everyone dying wants to live
Nor each alive wants to quit.
The departure satisfies when they've done their will
But it turns into an icy pain when we think
We could never do enough to them.

We should be glad for the gift we have as 'memory'
We can keep the departed alive forever within us.
Just close your eyes and remember
what they would tell you for this situation.
What would they tell you?
What would they do if they were in it?
Let yourself know that your loved one still adores you.
Keep the relationship between you and the departed alive
with the exchange of care, respect and appreciation.

Pyre
_____

The Fire is cold for those who grieve
The Pyre is peace for those who leave.

It's till we are breaths, we want to stay
Then we know no war or play.

A child who slept early

I can finally hear the doors opening and my heart starting to slow it's throbs down.
I am very sure the time is upon thee though I am still asking just a little bit more time.........
I can't just leave the world whilst this juvenile and unexposed.
It's very unfair that bad things do happen to good innocent souls.
My spirit is already reaching for the white light but my soul still needs to stay, it still needs an answer.
This Earth was it's home and now cryptic whether to believe there is a better place afterlife.
The promises of a silent harmony, where lions and zebras are actually best friends.
All this is alluring but why did I have to leave this early.
I also hoped to grow white hair sometime, I also wished to walk with a staff someday.
Why was I the chosen one to depart to a place I don't know.
If only I had a glimpse of it, maybe my soul would rest in peace.
All those who cared are left with a hollow dark space in their hearts, not to say those who really loved me.
It's petrifying feeling my lungs letting out the last breathe.
I can't help it but to cry for my soul, may it go to rest in peace in the after life promised.

I don't know what does it feel when we died,
Did we simply close our eyes and feel nothing?
Or we enter another world and vision of consciousness?
Maybe our ancestors ancient beliefs right or they might be wrong?
However, whatever it is I desire to discover peace.
On the off chance that I were passed on I would prefer not to burried with laments.
I need to burried with great recollections and smile of my love ones.
They don't have to burried my favorite sheet or things with me,
All I need is their prayers of guidance.

Death Note

I wonder whose name should I write if I get the Death Note.
Maybe I should write the name of Poverty,
The one who is responsible for the death of many innocent,
Or should I write the name of the Unequality,
Who is not playing fair with everyone,
Or should I write the name of Greed,
Whose hand is stained with Blood of many,
Or maybe I can write the name of Fear,
Who makes even standing for love a challenge,
Or maybe in the end,
I should just write the name of Hate,
Then everyone would be Loved.

Dhwani

If I died soon enough I would like to get buried with a sarangi.
Do you know what a sarangi is ?
When people die they used to play the sarangi on the radio.
The notes are so beautiful and uplifting and yet so sad.
Resonating with your soul so beautifully that it's difficult to forget.
Like a wailing tree in autumn bereft of its leaves . Like mother weeping over a child. Like an uninhabited house.

Would the sarangi play ragas for me?
Rag marwa
Miya ki todi
Shree
Rag lalit

Maybe rag yaman in afterlife.

The day I die , that's how I'd like to be .

Afterlife

When the cold shroud of death comes over me
Finally setting my soul from my mortal form free
And I am placed on a pyre to be set aflame
With only two gold coins left to my name

To be taken by Hermes to the river Styx alone
To be judged by the good deeds in life sown
Ferried by Charon for the judgment of my soul
By King Minos and other ancients of old

If I find a place in the Elysium Fields pure was my soul
If placed in the Asphodel Fields I wasn’t a part of the judgment roll
And then there is that special place to burn a soul for all eternity
Tartarus the pit for sinners and other perversities

I am not scared of entering the underworld
Where Hades lives with his flag unfurled
Nor does the judgement day make me fear death
For I will be allowed life until my dying breath

Even when my mortal body I am rid of forever
My soul shall live on, dead but dying never
I came to this world all alone and free
Carrying nothing but my life with me

And that’s how I’ll go when death comes calling
Without any effects for my afterlife, into the depths of death falling
I hope I find a safe place for my soul in Hades’ home
For this soul I ferry around like a loan

One can neither buy good graces with any amount of gold
Nor are good deeds in little bags sold
One can only hope to be judged kindly by the kings of old
Always bearing in mind we are only vessels for our souls

Beauty doesn't last forever

There are many in this world who are very proud of their physical appearance. This body will definitely decay a day, even though you take utmost care of it. There are also people who sometimes look down upon other average looking people being intoxicated by their false pride. It seems they might have forgot that this skin-deep beauty doesn't last forever. After fifty, the skin will start to wrinkle, face will turn pale, hair will start falling and turning grey, eyes may see less, and then what? What about those bitter words you exchanged with the average looking people once? Therefore, do practice self-control. Love everyone, hurt none.

A buried body, a lost soul

I wish to be buried with the pain I've caused people
As the rain pours as well as their tears I only wish to be buried with years of memories
Perhaps that will numb the pain yet their fears of other loved ones dying won't
Perhaps it might be dumb yet I also wish to be buried with my favorite teddy bear
The one I've had for years who's become my dearest friends

I'd like to spend my after life buried with him as he tells me more of his stories that bring me joy even after death
Death is inevitable indeed as to why I write this being more cautious
Cautious I was yet not cautious enough for here I stand my body being buried
Buried yet my soul roams freely with ease but I,
I wished my soul would be buried so I could go to heaven

Heaven where I can meet my loved ones that went so soon yet here I stand witnessing my own funeral
Unknown to me that death was coming even though I knew it was inevitable I only wish I didn't get buried with my regrets
Regrets that I'm unable to forget for they're here with me yet only vividly
Me, who am I now? am I just another lost soul everyone will forget?

Trapped within blood and sweat of mine own kin
My restless, chained soul is laden with the weight
Of this crumbling pyramid in the Valley of the King
A rotting corpse guarding gold, with looters in wait

I'd rather be a breeze, caressing the sun-kissed Nile
Unwanted and dead.
But free and alive

BURIAL MEMOIR!!?

What wish i seek for my burial you ask???
Its nothing so special that of a task

For I wish not of jewels nor of material wealth
All I hope is to have lived my life with good health

And when my time comes calling on that hour
I wish to have been truthful and let all prayers pour.

Let me rest

Entered earth with empty hands.
Craving more to fill my grands.
Let me at peace with empty hands.
To embrace God with open hands.

LET ME LEAVE AS I CAME, EMPTY HANDED, FOR NO RICHNESS IN THE WORLD COULD BRIBE DEATH.

CAUGHT...

I think that i am caught
And I am left here to rot,
I don't know where to start
I don't know where I must stop...

My whole life is in the dark;
I am no longer that smart,
Once i used to be a genius;
Now i just feel so heinous

I sometimes want to end this mess
But i have no idea how
To end this quest
To keep my heart numb
To feel that i am not dumb...

I have many souls around me
But i have no one to really own me,
I can't pour my heart out to them
Because they are trying to find their own gem.

I have many thorns in my heart
But i believe there are also some flowers,
I am waiting for life to give up on me;
Because i am done and now i disown me!!

Broken Soul

I'm a sad happy little man
A broken and lonely soul lies deep in my heart
I can't smile or laugh even when I'm having fun
Because after ever live heartbeat, I'm hurt

Without the sight of you, I'm lost
Without your charming smile, I doubt
I doubt whether it's possible to be lifeless
Lifeless but still able not to love less

How long should I cry alone
No shoulder for my head
Whenever I lose myself, no love to guide
Whenever I feel sad, no chest to hug
When I'm afraid at night, no one to call
Why it had to be me, I don't know

But if I get another chance to be with you, then death won't stop me
Death won't fight me
Because it doesn't take life to be in love

If you can sleep compared to the same, it is only sleep to death

@mirakee @writersnetwork

Do you take time to sleep in the middle of the night?
If you can sleep peacefully then you will have achieved a lot.
It takes a lot of hard work to get a good night's sleep.
But often no one has a way to get it
Because desires have no end or fulfilled.
