Death is not the end of life
Gasping for air
in this bottomless abyss
slithering in my ghost's lair
with an unmistakable fragrance
a relentless smell of my past
the devil on my back
serpentine and black
Seeking my release
from the bondage of demons
searching for peace
in the face of turmoil
a reason to believe
amidst the chaos of treasons
too numb to feel
too broken to heal
shrouded by the arms of mist
blinded by the starlight
sheltered in the frozen ruins..
of myself,
with no one by my side

thanks a bunch. Proof is all around you, you just have to be able to see!
I too believe that death is not the end of life. Too bad that proof positive cannot be revealed until it is too late to share. Great Poem!

damn i'd just reassembled my shotgun.. but ok , lionking had me change my mind. lol!
hehe lol yep yep dont jump the gun. na i dont believe in it in that way persay, but more like in the animal kingdom, how if an animal dies, its body becomes fertilizer for all the grass and plants that grow, and are nourishment for other animals, its the circle of life..Ive watched too much Lion King lol, but anyway our bodies may become something else, but our souls move on and live free.

yea i would have, if you believed in reincarnation! =) but now you've made your position very clear. so its all good.
lol please dont. unless its in a good way. Im just saying. i think about it...and it scares me sometimes, but I believe and hope in Heaven and meeting my lost loved ones again someday. Thats what I truly believe, that our spirits move on.

oh there's so much i could write in reply to that but i'd rather not get you all riled up!!
yea i tend to wonder about it a lot, like what happens when we die, where do we go? is there a Heaven and A hell? angels and demons? do we start all over, in a different life, get to make new decisions or do we come back as something other than human completely, an animal, a flower, or do we just die and thats that? i dont believe thats that. I believe there is so much beyond this life, beyond this world.

yes, thats me being hopeful that even though i'm dying, this is not the end =)
as your title says death is not the end of life...
