I hope when I am dead that I shall lie
In some deserted grave--I cannot tell you why,
But I should like to sleep in some neglected spot

Sad, somber thoughts on life after death- 'The utter lack of life, the fullest sense of death'. The poet's imagination and expression is amazingly touchy: 'The utter lack of life, the fullest sense of death'.... and also, 'And I should never hear the note of jealousy or hate, The tribute paid by passersby to tombs of state'... excellent! The title of the poem is quite appropriate.
A powerful poem! It's a poem which can be written only by one who has had her fill of the falsities and hypocrisy that poses as sincerity in this present world culture. I feel this poem! thanks for sharing. I have voted it a 10.
Deep in slumber five feet beneath That is all in death we seek Free of smiles, free of tears And of the past or future fears...... Great poem madam...looking forward to more.....
A man or a woman wanting to get relief of tears and sorrows seeking to the death as it Would give ultimate relief is the belief. But God has placed the soul between births and deaths So it may be difficult to imagine what does happen to the soul after death, is highly subjective. Appreciate for the imaginative power behind this poem. Very good one!
Unknown to every one! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
An unassuming personality representing a common man that is rare to find even among common or not so common people. I like this poem. Thanks for sharing it here.
It is a wonderful and imaginative poem about one's own death.
A much different take on the feeling of death. It seems you would want to just leave behind all the madness when it is time. It is a forlorn message, but there is room for forlorn. Quite an interesting take! Kudos.
Hope is a reality that affords all of us to dream and believe, and in the end, that same hope may well rescue us from worst nightwares

I don't necessarily agree with the author, as I believe in a life after death and that this life as an ultimate and higher purpose behind it, but I like how the poem is composed, and yes it will be nice to have some peace and silence from this world after we part. :)
