I miss you
I had a secret to share with you
How you would smile
And say
You silly
But you are not
The cold death took over you
And I talk to the wall.
How you would smile
And say
You silly
But you are not
The cold death took over you
And I talk to the wall.

The Day We Said Goodbye
It was a very cold winter day
Still I couldn’t tell you if it was sunny or gray
Such irrelevance was far in the back of my mind
It would’ve been dark even if the sun did shine
So often we're in the place we least want to see
But there’s nowhere else that we’d rather be
They said you were dying, a sin to keep you alive
Our hearts ripped to pieces deciding what was right
It turned out to be the day we said goodbye ...
Still I couldn’t tell you if it was sunny or gray
Such irrelevance was far in the back of my mind
It would’ve been dark even if the sun did shine
So often we're in the place we least want to see
But there’s nowhere else that we’d rather be
They said you were dying, a sin to keep you alive
Our hearts ripped to pieces deciding what was right
It turned out to be the day we said goodbye ...

A Word From Death
So,” Death says.
“Yes, please, now. I have the courage now.”
The tremor in my voice betrays me.
I hold out my hand. Pleading.
The blackness under Death’s hood watches me.
They say nothing.
It means everything.
“Just let them find out gently. Please let them heal well, and we - I - will just… go. Now. Get ahead of the rush.”
My arm aches from begging for their hand.
“Please. I will go back to being a coward soon. But right now. Right now you can take me. Willingly.”
My throat has...

To My Grandmother
Throughout the past couple of months, I’ve been watching my grandmother’s health fluctuate vastly. I enter her room and don’t know whether to expect a natural or forced smile. I’ve seen tears roll down her face as she tries to remain strong, knowing her time is limited. The pain has become simply unbearable. I find myself weak in these moments. Something so important to me but far outside of my ability to help.
So what do you do?
Do you sit back and watch as the woman who has shown you nothing but love since birth die? Do you acknowledge the reality and make the most...

Jay North
A great actor has died and is gone for eternity.

We all have a little mischief in us.
He began starring in "Dennis The Menace" at the age of seven.
After living for over seven decades, he died and went to Heaven.
North starred as Dennis from 1959 to 1963.
It's sad to know that he's gone for eternity.

don't shatter the psychedelic sunshine (for JC)
I wish I could paint a world
that belongs just to us
coloured in the hues
of your heartbeat
Your voice rings
like a recording off glass
that shatters and falls silent
I fucking miss you
I hoard memories
like time can't sweep them away
but you're already gone
And I didn't know
I didn't know
time stole you
and no one told me
And I didn't know
missing you could hurt this much
We made our own world
I painted my darkness
into something beautiful ...
that belongs just to us
coloured in the hues
of your heartbeat
Your voice rings
like a recording off glass
that shatters and falls silent
I fucking miss you
I hoard memories
like time can't sweep them away
but you're already gone
And I didn't know
I didn't know
time stole you
and no one told me
And I didn't know
missing you could hurt this much
We made our own world
I painted my darkness
into something beautiful ...

Undercover
The coffin closes but it's still not safe to come out
from under the covers
no one wants to see those scars
or break down those prison bars
just roll over
your makers lips aren't that sour
from under the covers
no one wants to see those scars
or break down those prison bars
just roll over
your makers lips aren't that sour

Solemnized
I remember the day, as if it was yesterday
Samantha laid her hands upon my brow
whispered her last spell, brushed her lips
against my NOW, and ceded her spirit.
I am unable to yet, let go of my memory
of when Charity died. NO PARENT
should ever have to endure this type of
grief.
My Mom died March 2025, but I found
my Daughter and my attachment
cemented -- something I thought I left
let go -- a long time ago.
My Daughter died very very VERY young
But when I chatted with her...

ode to mother
oh glorious matriarch
bearer of life
your legacy blooms like spring flowers
your nurturin hands
your sacrificial heart
how heaven’s eyes must roll
at your divine example
your generosity knew no bounds
so generous that you gave away your children
wrappin us tenderly in indifference
abandoned me to my father’s rage
then gifted my brother to me
creatin a family tradition
of handin over the unwanted
oh vessel of wisdom
overflowin fountain of care

a toast to no one
the call came today
you’re dead
finally
the universe took its sweet time
over and over
I’ve tried rebuildin
what you burned down
with that lighter fluid smile
over and over
I’ve tried to wash out
all of your venom
that pulses thru my veins
they’ll want me to weep
to forgive you
to speak of loss and motherly love
but what is there it mourn
when nothin I ever had has died?
the actress takes her final bow
no fuckin encore
those invisible strings
that you pulled so well ...
you’re dead
finally
the universe took its sweet time
over and over
I’ve tried rebuildin
what you burned down
with that lighter fluid smile
over and over
I’ve tried to wash out
all of your venom
that pulses thru my veins
they’ll want me to weep
to forgive you
to speak of loss and motherly love
but what is there it mourn
when nothin I ever had has died?
the actress takes her final bow
no fuckin encore
those invisible strings
that you pulled so well ...

Make Our Garden Bloom
whispers live in shadows deep
souls dwell promises to keep
wreaths of dried roses enchanted
hearts make our garden bloom
Stars sing out songs above
melodies I remember so well
dusts now mere echoes of love
distant though mine dwell
barren stark isolation
the garden once vibrant
colours and sights wonderful
is bare dead soil dry untended
make our garden bloom again
purple magenta red on green
season's turn let flowers dance
eternal make our garden bloom
don't fear night or sorrow's...
souls dwell promises to keep
wreaths of dried roses enchanted
hearts make our garden bloom
Stars sing out songs above
melodies I remember so well
dusts now mere echoes of love
distant though mine dwell
barren stark isolation
the garden once vibrant
colours and sights wonderful
is bare dead soil dry untended
make our garden bloom again
purple magenta red on green
season's turn let flowers dance
eternal make our garden bloom
don't fear night or sorrow's...
