"The Silence in a Dying Man's Farewell" is an anthology of poems that explores the emotions and thoughts left unsaid at the point when death draws close. Death in the book is presented both in the natural form as the end of a man and qas an eternal parting between lovers. The poems give skins to the pains and agonies that are silent in final goodbyes and echoes the verses that often end up in the grave, unheard.

The Silence In a Dying Man's farewell
BookRix GmbH & Co. KG80331 MunichThe Silence in a Dying Man's Farewell
Silence is seldom heard when spoken aside
-the stage of poetry.
Anuoluwa Soneye
Prologue
And every day,
I lose a part
-of me
I Fall
I fall apart into
little bones,
then flesh-
Bloodless and silent
yet, I fall.
I fall apart into
atoms-
in public places
beneath itching eyes
yet, I fall.
I fall apart into
things I cannot say.
Disgust- sight of decay
below- decomposed
and yet, I fall.
Death Cares
Tonight turns cold.
The snow steams
and the darkness shines.
Death lays my bed.
I sit at the last supper.
He helps carry my cross
to the hill.
Tonight turns cold.
I shiver helplessly
till death comes by alone
and wraps me in his arms
-in white.
Oh death comes for me!
Oh death cares for me!
Regrets
Regrets are sores
torn through deep
past the hall of memories.
Regrets are colorless.
They spark no picture-
faceless agony
Regrets are tasteful.
On raw pepper,
excess sauce.
Regrets are gentle
and quiet-
in voiceless tears.
Regrets weigh tons
so when giants kneel,
it’s not weakness.
The crushing mass;
-of “if I had known”
What are you like?
Some say you are old
ugly- withered skin
and red eyed.
Some say you have a scythe
Sharp- dangerous
a single swipe.
Some say you are beyond
human- far below; too above
our thoughts.
