soldier

 
for the fallen soldier
at ease son may you finally have peace
you battled with honor
your war is over  
 
time to go home
enter at the gates
lay your weapons outside--
you won't need them there
you will be missed dear warrior
visit when you can
 
now a guardian of the universe
there are sights to see
tell our Father about us
about the battles won
about solidarity in love and war
 
I never saw a man so honorable
your honesty was something to behold
you fought the good fight
 
God I'm sad
the world lost a valiant man
welcome him in
give him rest
 
until we meet again soldier of truth
you will be missed

Suicide’s Plight

Suicide    
Unhealthy thoughts taking a free ride    
Should I just keep walking by      
Or write a poem for someone else’s mind to decide      
There are so many people out there      
Not caring if they have a last breath to spare      
Not having remorse to no longer care      
 
Stress, Life, Hopeless, down on luck      
Not having a penny let alone a buck      
You’ve had it to the point you’re ripping out your hair      
Some people’s mind freefalling into thin air      
A silent battle of the brain within      
If I comment suicide no more problems taking me on a major tailspin      
I know you are tired, worn out, and yes, from taking it on the chin      
Think of a time when your life was soaring and then think again      
 
Think of a time your life was going great, very good as it should      
Starting first with memories of your childhood      
During those times things were never misunderstood      
Now you’re knocking your head against hardwood      
Trying to figure it all out      
Finding ways to keep your mental status up no doubt      
 
Reminiscences that once stirred your heart      
Mental breakdowns from the initial start      
Unspoken anger now for the most part      
Has the world now cloaked your brain in mental darkness      
Allowing no one to reach you, oh, that concept sounds so heartless      
We all have walked a mile in tight shoes      
Dark storms of the mind from society abuse      
 
Hanging on by a thread hoping no one judges your ruse      
However, who gives you that sole right to choose      
A word no one likes to comprehend win or lose      
God giveth, not for man or woman to taketh away      
As your life flashes you by as acting it out on Broadway      
SOS, May Day, Wait, I think I’ve changed my mind      
Noose has tightened to my neck, blood running from my wrist, sleeping pills have all been washed down      
 
Stomach pumped, oh no      
I really really never intended to go      
Save me please      
The next time I will ask for these thoughts to be removed on my knees      
Paddles of life to chest couldn’t help      
The third time it worked, yelp      
 
As I lay still      
No more turmoil to fit this earthly bill      
Had I hung in, would this had passed, but still      
There was always a tomorrow      
Tears from someone else’s eyes at the expense of my sorrow      
I’m on my ascending pathway      
You will see the understanding of this self-demise revealed to you on Judgment Day      
There will be no more words from you to say      
 
When you’re dealing with the mental blues I know it’s not my call      
I have to pass this insight of this universal protocol      
I was ordained and yes, I want my Angel wings      
Sent back here to say or do some strange things      
All for a great cause      
Under God’s universal laws      
 
However, I will never know where you come from      
Slow down, let’s talk, I may be able to tell you how to channel that raging weather, and then some      
This is not a fad, way out, or words to get lost in      
Surrendering your last breath is when your life truly begins      
You think you are experiencing hell on earth now      
Going up against God with the excuse I refuse to give earth my final bow      
Trust me you shall reap what you sow      
 
No reasons accepted I thought this was my only way out from a mental drought      
A shake of God’s head for an eternal lockout      
It hurts if only you knew from the soul’s earthly remembrance to let it be      
At the Pearly Gates begging if only you could see      
Do not allow your mind to attempt to unlocked God’s universal mysterious      
You can’t      
Therefore, when you’re feeling down, pray, meditate, or chant      
 
No one wants to come back here      
And still adhere      
To the same plan you thought for a quick escape      
Accepting your fate again on this planet we call earth, denied until you reshape      
Trust me that’s not a Heavenly debate      
At any rate      
You never get those moments in time to backdate      
 
When in doubt, talk it out, take medication if you must to get you through      
I know this has been tried and true      
Just please keep this angle of view in mind      
And allow your thoughts to naturally unwind      
Channel your temple and leave the negative energy of your mind behind      
Once you close your eyes      
No more second chances to understand, the what, when, or the whys

Sorry to hear this indeed. Just shows you never know what’s going on in someone’s head.

Where did you find out, Crim?

R.I.P.

I cant believe your gone my friend.
This is not how it was supposed to end.
You were an amazing father
I cant believe you did this brother.

You fought through hell.
Unexpected from one i knew so well.
It just doesnt seem right.
I pray you found some peace and welcomed to the light.

Coruscation

 
Freedom is a funny thing
Perspective of eyes
Family lore
History

When a candle flickers
we assume
the light burns
still burns strong
it’s just a light gale

Some tapers
or tea cups
sparkle
for our benefit
public assurances

Sometimes
the flicker
signals
the struggle
keepsake
keeping
the flame
alive

When the fuel
no longer combusts
too painful
to spark


it is time
to
twinkle

;;;

no longer
flickering

another
star
twinkles

is now
at
ease

My condolences to Liam's family and friends---it's never easy to lose someone, and there's never the right thing to say, but it makes us realize how fragile, life can be, and to take stock, and focus on the things that truly matter--each other, and life.

As you know, I write up the weekly poet features that appear at our Facebook DUP page, and even before this, I was considering the idea of doing some features in memoriam, to our members who have passed, like Malin69.  While I can't interview them, I can give them a nod and feature their writing.

So, I'll put this out there:  If anyone knows of other DUP members who have passed and their accounts here are still open, maybe you could message me with a link to them, and speak for them.  Tell me why their writing spoke to you, what kind of person you knew them to be, etc., and we can give a posthumous salute to those who are no longer with us.
