#death
The broad subject of death, including grief and memorial poems when losing a loved one. Also concepts around death in wider society, fear of dying and what happens after we die. These poems may be dark and full of sorrow.
.
sunrises and monsters
feeling the arc of pain playing out on my weary bones
who screams no not now
strong and willful my soul batters at the constraints of hurt
entering the need of the moment
it needs me to be strong
wrestling with demons I know well
sharpens my instincts
the spirits are restless
and i with them
my soul aches with a feeling
you know the ache
the one that keeps you up at night
fearing sleep cause of the monsters I will meet there
they're waiting for me
entertain the feeling it gets brighter by day...

Mourning Thoughts
As we've walked hand-in-hand
through the joys and tears
We began with lasting friendship
only strengthened by the years.
Thank you for hearing my hopes
understanding my dreams
For filling my heart with joy
and loving me without end.
Eternally yours
Nevermore

Overcast
Constantly had rain given me anxiety
The heart would pound, shoulders tensed
Cold weather piercing through bones
The most dreadful time of pain
But
Once a fond memory in the downpour
A house in ruins, much to clean and fix
No electricity, no running water, only a mess
Happy was i to restore what the past destroyed
There
The dirty dishware littered about by your ex
Who abandoned this abode in disarray
Left for you to sweep, scrub, and wash
The storm outside couldn't keep my help away
You
Had no water for...

Failing in life
Their cars were motionless
Their home was drab
Their intensity was addiction
They once tried going to rehab
They failed miserably
Handling it with no care
Their appearance was frightful
Entering their house was extremely rare
Their sex was frustrating
Both were failing
He was dry & she was limp
Their health was ailing
Reality was a nightmare
Death surrounds their vision
The Grim Reaper is watching
Motionless people can create a collision
Their home was drab
Their intensity was addiction
They once tried going to rehab
They failed miserably
Handling it with no care
Their appearance was frightful
Entering their house was extremely rare
Their sex was frustrating
Both were failing
He was dry & she was limp
Their health was ailing
Reality was a nightmare
Death surrounds their vision
The Grim Reaper is watching
Motionless people can create a collision

write about anything
other than the current situation
doesn’t matter if putin is
determined to destroy ukraine
and isreal is doing the same
in gaza, and america
under trump to its shame
supports both ..

You in the photo
You existed yesterday
Today you are not
You come and shout in my face
It is easy to understand
I am an angel
In this fleeting world.

An Explosive Pizza
Pizza deliveryman Mike Rotchburns was as dependable as he was predictable. His daily routine was invariable and he was never in trouble with the law. In 2012, while standing outside the bank he just robbed, he told police officers surrounding him that he had been kidnapped by three people and coerced into committing this crime. A simple pipe bomb was elaborately locked around his neck. Rotchburns begged police to let him go because the kidnappers had set the bomb to go off minutes after the well planned robbery. While they waited for the bomb squad to arrive, the device exploded, killing...

Hours, Minutes, Seconds
here I am at 3 something in the morning
light is dim as darkness surrounds me
feeling your soul in distress of the unknowing
silence has no resolve with those you truly luv
breaking heart cry’s out softly for understanding
only to be intentionally rudely disarrayed
faith in God within grows stronger each day
for we all know He’s the one in control of life
surrender all to Him and believe in His will
situations in life happen for a reason
at times it’s to test the strength of our belief
others are to awaken truth and...

BEREAVEMENT
Dear All,
You may be seeing less of me during this week. I have just heard from my sister that our mother died early this morning aged 91 (would have been 92 on April 4th coming up(. I welcome anyone's prayers as it has also come at a time when I am planning for retirement in June and was copying over some of my poems pre the site closing. We will have funeral arrangements to deal with. God bless you all.
UPDATE - Her funeral (cremation) will take place on 15th April, it has been rather long in getting arranged because of bureaucratic business with medical examiner...
