When You Come To See Off Poem by M. Asim Nehal
When You Come To See Off
When I am gone, who will come to see
my lifeless form, lying peacefully?
Will it be those who loathed my name,
with hearts of stone and eyes of flame?
Or will it be those who held me dear,
with memories cherished and shed a tear?
Perhaps it will be those who thought me friend,
but in the end, our bond did bend.
My body, now just a mere shell,
will not reveal the answer to tell.
For only in death, can we truly see
the impact we've made, with our legacy.
Like a butterfly, I'll leave this world,
my soul unfurled, a story unfold.
Or like a rose, my petals will fall,
but my fragrance will linger, through it all.
So when I'm gone, and you come to see,
remember me, with love and empathy.
For in the end, it's not the hate or love,
but the memories I will leave shall rise above.
a beautiful poem contemplating the lifeless body laid to rest and various emotions of mourners, with contrast elements of nature and metaphor infused into the poem. I once wrote a poem 'Shed No Tears' about memories left after passing with similar elements but a differing perspective.
I wrote the poem 'Lifeless Body Is Laid Out In Mourning Memories', inspired by the poem 'When You Come To See Off', by the poet M. Asim Nehal and dedicated to M. Asim Nehal.
I would trade all my best poems for this one. Liked it so much. TFS.
I see a hint of philosophy in your poem, It tells us how desperate we are to know what happens after we are gone, but no one has ever turned back to see.....
Your poem of loving remembrance is elegantly written and touching.5 stars
So sadly beautiful and poetically deep, an unforgettable poem that says so much and that in our hearts with deep admiration we will keep.
p3 the final touchstone testament value of life is attesting to the stirring quality of impressions bequeathed, the warmth or cold felt enduring in lives we touched
