Life
After Death
Cold
clammy writhing hands,
On the threshold of death she stands.
Falling, falling, on the Guillotine she lands,
Swiftly painlessly, life is gone.
She awakes in a new mystified place,
Boys and girls are dressed in lace.
Of her youth and vigor she has no trace,
She reached up her hands to find no face.
No more weeping inside, there’s no need to be,
No more sleepless nights she thought with glee.
This is my fate, it has to be,
I am happy, I am free.
More Dead Than Alive
I
woke up this morning after my fall,
My feet are swollen, no movement at all.
I tried moving my fingers, they were hard and stiff,
It is being said I jumped from a cliff.
I am in a strange place, alive and aching,
Doctors and nurses are continuously pacing.
She’s awake this morning, she should be dead,
I looked around, I am in a hospital
bed.
Why am I here, they keep feeding me shots,
I have suffered a lot, everything’s all dots.
Wake me please I do not belong,
I am scared and I am frightened, I cannot sing my song.
The voices say, this is the end,
See if she has a faithful friend.
Someone is here, they think it’s my niece,
She says, leave her be to go in peace.
I am not ready to go I silently screamed,
I am alive and willing to be redeemed.
No one hears me so it’s goodbye,
I will remember this moment until the minute I die.

About the Author
Andrea Buckle, nicknamed Sunshine, was born in the
sunny island of Jamaica on October 28,1963. She immigrated to the United States
in 1987. She realized she had the knack for writing after taking a few English
courses in college. She started jotting down simple ideas and found out she had
a lot to say, enough to write an entire book in the form of poetry.
Her book, A Peek Into The Mind Of The Dark Child,
has some truth as well as fiction. Most of what she writes reflects her
childhood experiences of hurt and loneliness. One must be extremely careful
when reading her thoughts, as it is very difficult to tell when she is
describing an actual event of her past, or just simply thinking aloud.
