Going Through Poor Richard's Mind
One could only guess what
dark thoughts were going
through poor Richard's
mind when he caught his
unfaithful wife Jessica in
bed and naked with his
best friend Brad before
he shot them both dead
with a gun and leaving.

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

When We Cross
I’m often amazed at the insightful musings of others
Not just in their intellect
But also in the spiritual sense of being and understanding
As if clarity has been achieved through the obstacles they’ve faced
Perception comes at different times and different levels
Especially when we’re caught up in those moments of unity
Poetry seems to capture it perfectly
Making our journey through this human experience
That much more fantastic

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...
“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.

The Last Remains
that night we had an ugly fight
I screamed
With a guttural rage trying to make my voice box explode
All the anger caged up was trying to escape
Screaming like a demon throwing up
Until I couldn’t scream anymore
I felt self-loathing but held it against the world
I wanted to watch everything burn
I wanted to see the look in her eyes
While the barrel went in my mouth
Right before the bullet went through my brain
My tendencies were the goriest of the gore
I wanted to scar others for life
That’s how much I hated myself ...
I screamed

Until I couldn’t scream anymore

I wanted to see the look in her eyes
While the barrel went in my mouth
Right before the bullet went through my brain
My tendencies were the goriest of the gore
I wanted to scar others for life
That’s how much I hated myself ...

Augury
I could see the pain in her eyes
For the things that she used to tell
And for the many that she kept to herself
People her time were built different
Like strongholds of resilience and secrets
Every now and then
I’d get a glimpse of the world she came from
She knew that old ghosts sometimes come back
Not to haunt
But try to stir you away from the current path
And yet, she always remained stoic
Death and spirits tend to have that effect on some people
For her
It was a way of life
Because even though now she...
For the things that she used to tell
And for the many that she kept to herself

She knew that old ghosts sometimes come back

And yet, she always remained stoic

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.
Jay North has died at the age of seventy-three.
He got up to mischief when he starred in Dennis The Menace.
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 ...

Liturgy for My Ashes
We gather at this sacred sea where Lauryn was conceived to honor her soul's passing. As the ashes of this daughter meld with the winds of time, let us acknowledge the profound mystery of her existence. In death, the tether to life dissolves, and the flesh that was once an instrument of love and erotic pleasure fades into the silent embrace of the eternal. Our lives are whispers in the grand dream of creation. Today, we release her remains into the ocean depths as a testament to the cycle that binds us all. Her spirit though woven into creation and the memories of those who remain, has ceased...

The Mighty
Looking down on the river
watching the current flow by
as though time had stopped
she didn't know why
finally
listening to the silence
like letting go of a breeze
with the current running through them both
one always knowing
the other on her knees
on the banks of whatever comes after
knowing now what had always been true
once she let it all go
well then ...
