Reasons to be Remembered after Death
I
Neglect
unconscious or not,
will stain those you love.
II
Those you forget,
Do they disappear?
III
Infamy lives forever,
in gold binded books.
No skill overlooked.
IV
Do we remember mediocrity?
Stage and screen
plaster faces around town,
say a couple lines for us.
V
The downtrodden,
your oeuvre is worth nothing
until you leave.
Beauty never acknowledged.
VI
You die,
they live.
You breathe in them,
your heart beats under their skin.
VII
The linger of an embrace,
the tingling remains of a kiss.
Beloved, lone gone.
VIII
The smallest of deeds,
can cure a man
of a lifetime of loneliness.
IX
Lifeless,
men, women, children,
no one is spared
the real ending.
Please remember.
