Death of The Poet
written by: Vasiliki Petroudi
@VPetroudi
I shall die in a mourning
rainy autumn dusk
i shall leave without a warning
i wonder if anyone will ask
In a chamber cold and vacant
with furniture worn and rented
lived a whole life latent
an existence only invented
Among my books i shall be found
on my soul’s latest torment
hearing rain’s hollow sound
written on the clouds was a portent
And i shall be burried
without a tombstone
a passing brief and hurried
someone with past unknown
My name is Vasiliki Petroudi. I live in Athens, Greece. I'm 45 years old, married and mother of two. I was a graphic designer and a teacher of history of art; I quit my job few years ago to follow my dream to become an author.
