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 ...

Over in a Distant Shore
Dreamers we were sighing as whispered winds
travelling with hands reaching playful drifts
our hopes whimsical unreachable as shadow dancers
mere whispers in air kisses like spectral gifts
before you left in twilight's hush sleepy eyes
looking towards the setting sun, sea kissed sky
bittersweet in life's lessons Soul learnt to fly
bathed in moonlight's shiny magic dusts
to have been cradled in that moonlight
to have rode on that foamy sea crests
laughter could have been our delight
our hearts together in shimmering...
travelling with hands reaching playful drifts
our hopes whimsical unreachable as shadow dancers
mere whispers in air kisses like spectral gifts
before you left in twilight's hush sleepy eyes
looking towards the setting sun, sea kissed sky
bittersweet in life's lessons Soul learnt to fly
bathed in moonlight's shiny magic dusts
to have been cradled in that moonlight
to have rode on that foamy sea crests
laughter could have been our delight
our hearts together in shimmering...

Conjugating
Just past the Bank of America
and the ski shop (odd in Phoenix)
there's a place that kills pets
and charges you thousands of dollars to do it.
They won't kill your pet right away.
First they'll do what they can
Exams
X-rays
Even clipping your cat's nails
because she hates having that done
but now that's she's half dead
she can tolerate it.
You drove her there
in rush hour traffic
crying the whole way
Why did you stay after school to grade papers?
Why did you stop at Safeway after that? ...

Pair of socks
As I sit here in front of you tonight
I wonder why you left without saying goodbye
Wondering how fast
In a blink of an eye, you’re gone.
There are so many things
I want to share with you
So many words
Left unsaid.
Rest now my lovely sister
I wish in heaven
There’s plenty of chocolates,
And unlimited cakes.
Coz I know
How much
You are
Addicted to sweets.
Don’t worry about us
Don’t worry about Mama and Paps
Don’t worry…
We are very much ok.
You’ll always be ...

Waiting one week
for another trip
into that fascinating
and terrifying landscape
A master at the helm,
the truest champion
of the creative process
If you know,
you really know
No wonder I like Blue Velvet
and Lost Highways.
Eternally grateful!

In memoriam of Eerie
Some feelings give us the illusion
they will last forever the same.
It is a misleading conclusion
that you will always remain
present among us, online,
the NaPoWriMo supervising
adding abundant lines
of quality poetry and analyzing
in beautiful comments,
enriching the community,
your gifted moments
... seemed so immune to it.
Thank you for your heritage here.
The Deep Underground of Poetry.
Your trace cannot be repeated but shared
between us members, in your loving memory.
I wish I could...
they will last forever the same.

Who Lives there Now
Who lives there now
the house where you once stood
and watched the doe and deer
come to your lawn to feed
who lives there now o' Soul
the place you tended Zena
when she was old and ill
and where Blue lies under the sod
Four years dear beloved Soul
you’re not truly gone
in the whispers of my poems
you will never be forgotten
For love knows no distance
nor realms of dead or life
your spirit won’t fade
your memory is laid in the ink of my heart
...

Echoes Of Sacrifice
when those brave heroes
bore arms for king and country
innocence was lost
the mustard gas crept
the grim reaper was there ~ to
collect the dead souls
seeping blood in mud
fertilising poppy weed
for rememberence
stark horrors of war
was the putrid remains ~ of
trusted brotherhood
true peace in our time
a fleeting concept ~ never
forget the fallen
honour in silence
with reverence the fallen
for they sacrificed
whispers of the past
echoes of the brave who...

Pealing Bells
I spend every rainy day
the very same way
waiting to hear the knell
of every lonely unrung bell
Bracing for the violence
of its stone-cold silence
how it chills breath and bone
laden as any tombstone
As I hear shovels in the dirt
trying to bury unburied hurt
at least six feet down below
so all the loss cannot show
But footsteps within the rain
seem to never balm the pain
never to soothe the ache
much beyond the initial wake
Leaving me left here in grief
with Death...

Mud
What then, is the epilogue
for this life of ink and blood
That whether it be the dust returned
to earth or ashes born of fire, mix either
with blood or ink and you still
just have mud
for this life of ink and blood
That whether it be the dust returned
