Poem -
Delivering Death
Death sits there, on my left side.......waiting
patiently painting
the shadowy expanse of my fear
and in its diligence
I find frustration a cryptic concern
for Death, does not waver
or even deepen
it simply haunts my soul with its
stoicism
and I am ever-aware of its presence
for
wherever I go
it hovers there.........on my left side
waiting
to deliver its parcel
and then
most cruelly
make's me sign for it....
Tony Taylor

Intense portrayal of the reality of existence, emphasising a concentration on the finale over the here and now. A fixation with the end is outlined in a matter of fact fashion, suggesting a limiting perspective when undertaking everyday concerns and activity. Death is always present but only in some minds, due to circumstance or situation, does it become an inhibitor to experiencing the full camot of lifes wonders.
Death can never be allowed to hamper living unless circumstances intervene. Making the most of each opportunity comes from not worrying about life expectancy !
Thought provoking poetry.
Wishing you all the best. :)
Amazingly insightful comment SIR WATERS!!......I will never be able to keep up with all the thanx you deserve from me brother ......I Pray all is well with you my friend........thanx so much for this....... Love and ROCKETS!!.......T xo. ?✳✴☀
:) We have to make the most of the life we get !
I am doing well my friend looking forward to warmer sunny days !! Summer is around the corner and I can't wait for it to arrive. I have gratitude that I can enjoy the great outdoors !! :)
Wishing you all the best, as always ! :)
I love that last line! It's so bitter, ironic and funny...because it's true!!
Death shadows our every step, it's true. The ancient Greeks called Death, The Last Enemy. Maybe they were right??
All I know is that, when I was born I was given three weeks to live; I'm now almost 39 years old and still very much alive!! Death may haunt our steps...but he can be patient and accommodating...if you're firmly polite in your insistence on living!
Excellent poem, my friend.

A delicate topic Tony!!
Most people are afraid of death despite of its inevitability. They don't want to discuss about it. Some think that death comes closer to the aged ##? That's why I always think I'm 30 years younger than my real age LOL

My Dear Brother Poet Tony,
But on the right side sits life
A life replete of knowledge
A life overflowing with talent
A life filled with ones who love you
So we bring to you our delivery
Smile, and take a photograph with us
Then, sign it "With love from Tony Taylor"
Alas, we will then have a signed photo,
Of ourselves with our "Favorite Star",
To pass down to our posterity
Peace, Love and Rockets,
Larry xxx
