Ascent

[Rheyne]

As I went about my day,

Death stalked behind me.

 

Upon my waking walk in a stupor,

Incantations sprung to mind.

 

But no amount of blubber

Dispersed the gloomy clutter!

 

Retreating to a wall,

Behind the church and full of

Superstition, Alas!

 

I heard the bells as they tolled!

I watched from below,

And the Earth faded from view.

 

Adieu! Adieu!

Very interesting. Very excellent. I will be rereading this a few times to draw forth from it more meaning.

The Moment of death captured in poem until the Ascension to the gates of heaven. The passing through the wall between life and death.

What else can I say Shakespeare, Poe and many more did not said on this matter of passing on to heaven, for the old Nick must be surely brought his place a level up.

 

:ohmy: :wallbash:

Oh No! This would be a cruel teasing joke played on me!

Now don't tell me this is all about Lasagna!

For this oral pleasure of Italian food, I tell ya!

"It is worth to stay alive for a that."

:woot: :wink:

Oh EVERYTHING is about lasagna no? ^_^

"What else can I say Shakespeare, Poe and many more did not said on this matter of passing on to heaven, for the old Nick must be surely brought his place a level up."

 

I must say I'm a little lost in translation as to what you mean with that. o_0

Hmm. I can't figure it out lol. Could you explain a little bit?

 

Btw, epic poem about lasagna, it made me laugh! ^_^

[SilverDNA]

maybe the translation of the word Nick isn't that well I should have used the more common word of devil instead. ( I apologizes for that misunderstanding.) I did mean that both poets have made great poems or poetical work in the matter. I could name as well Charles Baudelaire in that line of poets that tried that in some way as well. Your poem is In my opinion a modern shorter version of description with the same depth in thoughts.  

About  Baudelaire you may try out the "Awesome Quotes" section in the "Lounge" topic, I put there today. It maybe becomes a bit clearer why I did remember him today because I read of your poem.

 

And to explain it completely from another lead up. "If life is like hell, than death is an escape."

And please do now read the Lasagna poem again. To cheer you up I placed it there. 

(I may be I stuttered in thinking of thinking, so I apologize for this misunderstanding again.)

How morbidly enchanting! For whom the bell tolls?
