10th grade, 11th grade, angst, anxiety, black african american, death, imagery,
When a black man has a knee pressed against his throat
police brutality has no known antidote.
He can't breathe, cut no slack.
Though obviously choking, they ignored his plea
and the cop kept pressing his full weight on that knee.
His hands cuffed in the back.
People watched in horror as his life was snuffed out
all they could do for George Floyd was stand there and shout.
He died ‘cause he was black.

dark, death, metaphor,
It fills the vial, life, quite thick as blood
And presses like a levee 'neath a flood
The hammer, down ...
It trembles in the dark, a wage of want
A seraphim without the wings to flaunt
The crooked clown ...
It screams the horrid silence as a beast
To seed the dim damnation for its feast
The frightened frown.

Categories:
death, heaven,
We watched your candle of life flicker and glow
But now we have realised that soon you will go
Your loving smiles we will miss.
You had hung on to life throughout this dark night
But now you are fading and so is your light
No more warm hugs or a kiss.
We heard a gasp as you drew your final breath
Then your candle went out and we mourned your death
Now you're in heavenly bliss.

death,
I stood along the shores of faith
this salty spray it knew my wraith
bitter was its taste
I struggled as I drew my breath
watching you succumb to death
another life erased
in the stillness as you laid
I clasped my hand, in silence prayed
a final kiss I placed

death,
Her husband ran across a road;
The bus was speeding, so I’m told,
And squashed him flat.
She wished she had the heart to cry,
His ashes in her mouth and eye;
She only spat.

death, paris, sad,
Oh, it was a dark November evening,
that the innocent lay dead and dying,
some taken hostage.
Enjoying the evening so unaware,
of brain-washed terrorist who had no care,
for deathly carnage.
Forever in prayers and memory,
at Bataclan shooters had no mercy,
even at cafe's.
Suicide bombers at the Stade de France,
the city of Paris is in a trance,
and survivors pray.

death, evil, fear, french, horror, international, murder, paris,
Horrific evil captured world attention
Rationalization failed comprehension
Act of war ISIS terrorists
Long night of massacre and murder
Fear and realization of dreaded word
Hidden danger scariest
Reporters opined media replayed
Suspects apprehended within a day
Tales of bravery slowly told
World mourned for senseless tragedy in France
Information on suspects utmost importance
When or where next unknown

cancer, death, emotions, fear, how i feel, sick, truth,
She's sewn back together
completely up tight
emotions trapped inside her
deep and out of sight
She put a pad lock on
and threw away the key
her feelings are all gone
can't you see
She's so full of fear
expectations are running high
such a poor little dear
so afraid she might die

war,
When dogs of war invade our shores.
As refugees through open doors,
They lie within.
To infiltrate, then preaching hate.
Their actions soon will devastate,
In mortal sin.
Those deranged minds, insanely mocks,
When death escapes Pandora's box
To kill at will.
All Faiths as one in silence prayed.
And wondered why they were betrayed.
While grieving still.
Brothers in arms stand toe to toe,
United now against their foe.
A single aim.
As vengeance falls like poison rain.
What will they do, but come again
To kill and maim.

I could kill you by overdose
But then you’d become comatose
What’s death without fear?
Better to do it very slow
A little poison in your Coke
Watch you disappear

death, deep, depression, farewell, rain, sad,
The purple rain sinks in the drain
There he stands, the old man in pain
Blue-eyed Death comes.
The purple rain sinks in his skin
he smiles at a picture of kin
Death sheds a tear.

death, life, political, religion, spiritual,
Liberties slowly taken,
"We The People" forsaken,
From our "Leaders" nothing is said.
The economy crashes.
Propaganda T.V. flashes.
Jobs along with answers have fled.
New World Order completed.
Freedom and Saints defeated.
Faith of many shaken.
Deaths long cold rattling groan.
An ancient evil on the throne.
Enemies quickly taken.

death, life, lost love, sad, sympathyme, me,
Pop there goes my gun and the love,
it no longer exist, You
messed everything up with being a little to rude.
Your body is trying to make it, breath the air I breath, but
the wound got you delirious dizzy and out of it.
You played me now its my turn to punish you.
I tryed to embracec your sympathy but you made me turn
into
a evil destroyer so how do want to live your life misable or
dead
Lay your head on my pillow let me heal you slowly anit till
you no how to treate a good woman beautifully.

Twin Flames
Twin Flames are ignited in soul,
as tender delicate fetus sprout
with body, mind and brain.
Twin Flames glow in soul,
as baby grows in mother’s womb
waiting for labor pain.
Twin Flames dazzle in soul,
as baby is born as infant.
Life proceeds and Death is certain.
Twin Flames are not extinguished in soul,
One carrying on process of Life,
Other transcending Death in chain.

silver fishes just 'neath the lake's surface,

as, noiseless, a blue kingfisher plummets!

death, life,
Four score and twenty years
I rinsed my lids- so many tears
So oft I sigh
To life anew- firsts breathe
To life lost- ye mourn a death
So oft they die
Twenty years and forty score
I'll weep again, at least once more
So oft I cry

life, mother, people, sympathy, , Lullaby,
long accustomed to his morbid profession,
where the slightest hint of genuine sorrow
is taboo deserving only derision,
he's in total control of his emotion;
but now, a sensation from deep inside him
surges upward like a relentless deluge
at the sight of a shaking, grieving mother,
humming a lullaby to her dead daughter;
something filmy in his eyes, and the room melts
in watery shapes tinted in fluid colors;
he can't believe it, must be perspiration,
ah, but tears blur the undertaker's vision !

adventure, death, people, seasons, night, people, evil, night, people,
Once, on a night so dark that even the owl could not see,
There came to be,
An evil entity.
It was so evil in fact,
That not even the night could hold it back.
The night tried and tried it did,
But entrance to the land was finally bid.
So evil romped and stomped across the place,
And it would not be erased.
The people fought and battled,
But it continued to eat the cattle.
It consumed the stock and the place,
The people had not the time to pace.
Now the evils belly was filled,
And the valley of Hallowed Een was tilled.
This is the story we all celebrate,
On October 31, when open is the gate.

death, deep, dream, emotions,
When I die, don't let me lie
in some godforsaken hole
dotted round with frosted stones;
arrange for me an alibi –
through the purifying fire
let love guide my spirit home.
Then stir my ash in coloured paint,
remembering how I loved the stains
colouring my hands and knees.
Then load me in a cannon, please –
prime a canvas, four by six
and fire the paint-and-ashes mix.
So may my final masterpiece
portray my ultimate release,
not to be misunderstood –
my heart's creation will be good.

peace, philosophy, political, war, war,
It was said,
in times of peace
prepare for war --
peace, indeed, allows
the most opportune
time
to build and install
missile silos, massive
arsenals, to commit
and justify a mighty
state's war
crime!

conflict, family, health,
You often claimed you were unwell
Pure hypochondria - I could always tell
Because you lied
You’ve faked illnesses over many years
Googling symptoms brought crocodile tears
Because you cried
When you really were ill I did not believe
Now I’m all alone and been left to grieve
Because you died

bird, grave, song, stars,
I breathe your song into my chest
then exhale dreams composed to rest
in star-clad light.
Your notes are freed from grave to sky.
On clouds, they lull birds flying by
in star-drenched flight.
Leaves sway and hum both far and near,
and missing you, birds flock to hear
in starry night.

grief, lost love,
Was it something I said inadvertently
Did my eyes reveal uncertainty
O, why'd you leave
Was my rapt listening inattentive
Or passion's kisses uninventive
O, how I grieve
Alcohol, not once did I abuse
Or narcotics ever use
O, the sighs I've heaved
To the kids, I was devoted
On your mother, I always doted
O, please believe...
That now I'll never be the same
That I'll forever myself blame
~ To your memory, I will cleave

THEN WE DIE
First we are born into life
A life that may be filled with strife
We may take a husband or wife
Life passes by
We may live for ninety years
And shed oh so many tears
As we deal with all of life's fears
Yes, we cry
Our life may be filled with bliss
From the warmth of our mate's first kiss
Our mate dies, you can count on this
Then we die

death, life,
Cradle to casket, smiles, tears and patience
adrift on a river, in zigzagging expectations
adventures neon and chrome
A little candle snuffed, whirlwind uncertain
familiar voice fading, behind a dark curtain
adieu night, says moon in roam.
Death awakens...from a life of long dream
from fountain to ocean mingles a stream
sojourn ends, Welcome Home.
