Place me not, within this ground
To hear no more, a mortal sound
Encumbered by earth, a twisted soul
Covered by death, in this devils hole

I scream, I cry, to no avail
A pity screech, a desperate wail
In this wretched place I be
No more to hear, no more to see

All mourners turn and walk away
Interned in darkness and forced to stay
This knoll is now my resting place
Dried tears are etched upon my face

Six feet under is now my home
No more to wander, no more to roam
A stone is laid upon my head
My body blanketed with a flower bed

Please visit me, although I'm gone
Our bodies wither,  but the soul lives on
In hearts of loved ones, for ever more
Dreams to keep and minds to store

Our lives are given as a gift
To help restore and give a lift
To those who shared our living days
In many forms and many ways

So I Rest in Peace with knowledge known
Of eternal slumber and seeds I've sown
I close my eyes and say farewell
To what was once my human shell

I like this poem. 1. It's Poetic elements are good. 2. The rhyming is absolutely awesome. It sounds natural. 3. I like the flow and your transitions. 4. I like the concept you've done. Because most of the time it's the living's point of view not the dead one's. And so I say this is unique in some ways.

It's just that I disagree with the idea. No offense, I respect what you believe. But, I believe that the dead can't communicate with the living and vice versa. It's biblical.

But nonetheless, the pice is good poetically speaking.
