Afterlife, Death, Life

Picture by Zhang Jingna

What will be my last words?
For whom will be my last smile?
And my last sigh?

I can’t know
I don’t want to know.

I walk toward the gates
of Sheol.
I sail toward the harbor
Of the rest.

Will they be there
All my beloved?

I don’t know.
I can’t know.

My latest breath
Will be a cry of
Surprise
When I will meet
The nothingness.

Death, Tanka

Art by TinyDotsofDeath

She lurks in darkness,
She dances her death dance.
She chills my days.

Her monsters devour my flesh.
She wants me by her side.

Seize the day

Death, Love, Tanka

Painting Guan Zeju

Seize the day, enjoy
Each instant for tomorrow
May not exist.

Regret will slowly kill you.
The lover smile is the truth.

The road

Death, Life, Tanka

Whatever we do:
Sowing seeds of love, of hope
Creating rainbow,

We head to the nothingness,
On the road of dark Sheol.

Last jump

Death, Tanka

At the end of the
Road – on the precipice –
I will have no fear.

My last jump into unknown
Will be to join my parents.
