11 Years Ago
Something happened eleven years ago that was sad.
After he battled Leukemia for many months, I lost Dad.
I thought he'd live longer but he died at the age of sixty-five.
He took chemotherapy for over 18 months but he could no longer survive.
When he died, I had to say goodbye.
I lost him in 2013 on the 13th of July.
Dad couldn't beat Leukemia even though he tried.
It was terrible because 11 years ago today, he died.

At Death’s Door
i am choked by the twisting vines of melancholia
hypnotizing petrichor fills my tarred lungs
i miss meandering meadows in mystical lands
and being mesmerized with each magical leaf
the last petal of an
enchanted flower falls;
an incantation…
i have lost my map to the forbidden knowledge
spellbound by the curse of a creature’s wrath
i am tortured by malignant tumors in my chest
the last shimmers of poison escaping my lips
i am aware of mother nature’s
decisive sorcery;
all things end…
hypnotizing petrichor fills my tarred lungs
i miss meandering meadows in mystical lands
and being mesmerized with each magical leaf
the last petal of an
enchanted flower falls;

i have lost my map to the forbidden knowledge
spellbound by the curse of a creature’s wrath
i am tortured by malignant tumors in my chest
the last shimmers of poison escaping my lips
i am aware of mother nature’s

Sister, removed
I wish I had known you better.
I wish I could say I tried.
But I – buried under small bodies
and schedules and needs,
with just enough distance between us to be
inconvenient –
And you – for so long obscured from my view,
with my lifelong tormentor between us --
I just thought we’d have more time.
Eclipsed by his tortured shadow
of bluster and opinions and judgement,
she tossed out colourful sparkles
of beauty and care into our family,
touching us all with a thoughtfulness
much deeper than...

Bone pain
Bone pain, its blood cancer, they say
Its no big deal, we'll give you some pain meds
Great, I say, thats a relief, I don't want to suffer
you won't suffer, they say
This is called reassurance I feel
Fast forward, I'm in agony, where are my pain meds?
Oh, we cant give you anything stronger, thats it I'm afraid
You shouldn't be in this much pain
I am though...I cry...
Its no big deal, we'll give you some pain meds

After cancer
I woke up today;
I woke up:
Surprised,
Thrilled,
Terrified.
But,
By the Grace of God,
I still woke.
I woke up:
Glad;
To be able to move,
And taste,
And think,
And hum,
And simply do
Many
Of the most
Pointless and inane
Delights
That humans do;
I woke up
Angry;
Angry at the state of the world;
That wars are,
That hunger persists,
That death is;
That my coworkers
Are so swift with their words,
So frivolous with their callous...

Deceased For A Decade
He was my dad but his life came to an end.
He died and I would never see him again.
He perished after months of receiving chemotherapy.
He had Leukemia and is buried in Sneedville, Tennessee.
He was a hard worker and he worked hard for many years.
Cancer made him become ill and he died just like I feared.
He died ten years ago today on the 13th of July.
It is always sad and tragic when a parent dies.
He died and I would never see him again.
He perished after months of receiving chemotherapy.

Waiting In The Wings
I dreamt we sobbed together.
Anger stood at the top of the stairs and yelled at us.
We ignored it, told it to go away.
We were overcome with grief.
The miles driven, the time taken, the sacrifice.
The gut aches, the pain, that burned out feeling.
The smells, the sights and sounds, the compassion offered.
The welcomed prayers and hope for another chance at health.
And if that doesn’t come, then what did we learn?
What inside us carries us through the sadness?
Why do we suffer in the name of madness?
Is it all worth it?

“You haven’t cast your shadow in our doorway in two years. But it is Christmas and you are my gift.”
“If I’d waited any longer it might have been too late.”
“You mean I might have moved on. Trust me, I am part of the furniture here. There is no chance of me leaving.”
“No, I meant there is a chance that I might move from this earth.”
“Don’t tell me you would off yourself. You should never have left me. I heal your mind.”
“That never crossed my mind. I have a lump on my forearm.”
