bereavement, birth,
on melting snow
first cherry blossom
withers too soon
mum ties pink ribbons
to the white casket
Or
on melting snow
first cherry blossom
withers too soon
mum unties ribbons
from empty cot-bed
Inspired by Chris`tanka contest,not for the contest

Thinking About Angels
Here I am thinking
about angels, guardians
in the sky.
Funny thing: grief.
Well maybe ‘funny’
is the wrong word.
‘Volcanic’
‘Annihilating’
‘Illusionary’
‘Pulverizing’
‘Instantaneous’
‘Gasping’
‘Forever’ is
the kicker.
Here I am thinking
about angels, guardians
in the sky.

death, family, losshope, , cute,
I thought about him today,
And I hope that he is doing Ok;
I miss him more than I care to admit,
His little smirk and courageous wit;
He always had something funny to say,
And he never failed to brighten my day;
His cute little phrases or silly songs,
In my eyes he could do no wrong;
He was always there no matter what,
With his worn out hat that was beat up and cut;
Barely surviving, just like him,
There till the end when he started to dim;
I hope he occasionally thinks of me too,
Cause I love him more than he ever knew.

Beauty of nature
Why condense it down to God?
Isn’t life enough?

Yet he lets bad things happen
How can he exist?

The body: sacred
We’re all made in God’s image
Hence... circumcision?

After life's most noteworthy prize
All must reach a final demise
This was their best love
Say the wise from above
Large pizza and super-size fries

Spring said to Summer,
Why don't you come along,
The ice has fully melted,
Can't go back to being wrong.
The Sun got in the spirit,
Started putting on a thong,
The Moon decreed that certain birds,
Would sing a nightly song.
Thought I was getting warmer,
Thought I was getting strong,
Autumn turned upon a heartbeat,
Turned me into Winter long.

death of a friend, funny, green, grief,
About the deceased say either good or nothing,
Therefore at the funeral of the deceased chief,
The subordinates danced in full silence,
With happy faces, but slowly with grief!

***************
From out...
Of the Cookie Cutter
My love for Christ
Shall always be
-----
When I think of His Love
It brings' things' back to me
In and around Eternity
------
I simply must reply with-in
I know that their is a reason
Why thing's shouldn't have been
Let Thy Will be done'
------
Why Gods' only Son
Had to die on the 'CROSS'
That day, to revive the people
To make them Pray!
------
And surely did they Pray!
------
Yet, by no stretch
Of the imagination...
Was the title lost?
------
But for the price of freedom
Jesus paid the COST

Lead to a malicious death

The day you died, I died with you
You were my anchor that I played
The grief burdened through lonely nights
Feelings I always try to deny
Our tender melody has stopped playing
Alone I am a marble figure

animals, death, sea, sea,
The life is blooming slowly
at the white candles –
chestnut trees under my window.
In the sea angles the transparent cupolas
are rising –
dolphin tombs.
No, not for the first time
life is blooming in death,
by the eyes of the beauty
frozen by the jump…
A picture –
the wavy movement
of the brush, by the hand
wrested.
The Sea is dead.

This is a link that shows a dead dolphin with bullets from a vending machine in the Black Sea.

childhood, confusion, death, depression, loss, mystery
She sits alone on her bed,
Trying to figure it out while scratching her head,
She figures she better go downstairs instead,
She goes down into the diningroom where her sister sits with all her friends.
She feels a tear roll down her face,
as she ran and broke her moms favorite vase,
The cops trying to figure out this case.
They took a step into her room where that gurl had been broken.
Maybe it was her sisters greed,
or her moms weed sitting on the table,
That little girl had past unto another round of life,
Her mom knowing, leaving her daughters funeral in strife.

beautiful, death, emotions, life, lonely, love, romantic,
There's ... always a possibility to forgive
No ... no matter how deeply you've been wounded
Despair ... it's just your fear, please, believe...
About ... my love? It is eternal, it will never end
Love ... always wins, and even when I die,
I'll ... send u hope with every sunrise,
Love ... always wins and even when you die,
You'll ... stay with me, my angel eyes,
Live ... forever.

Shades of color bounce within
Singing their hues dancing in place
Vivid lines colored outside
Rules broken with empty space
A midnights dream heard and seen
Gleaming from the twinkle of a eye
Wings touched flown and plucked
Gliding like a bird up in the sky
Wishes from pennies thrown into tears
The reservoir over flowing with pigments of pain
Drowning from the shadows
The flood paints the day
Words speak volumes of silence hidden
Their sounds blind to what they see
Mirrors of nouns and verbs
Their meaning and secrets lost at sea
Emotions ruled by laws of language
Spelled in boxes of glass
Melted from sands inside
That voices strangle to grasp

No cheese
Just grease.
Cogwheels
Life seals.
Ceilings
Dealings.
Lots smiles
Did miles.

She's had the soul of a warrior and fire of a phoenix the heart of a dove and the spirit of a butterfly. She builds other people up because she knows what it's like to be torn down. She has the strength to move on in life's challenges. She's the pureness of a red rose that struggling to survive.

When heart pumping stops
Memory is gonna lost
Eyes blink like stars
No sunrise is in course
The night will come and stay
Airflow will be concrete
Temperature measured low
Pain and pleasure will cease
No needs for food and drink
The Souls will go back
Where they came
No word could help to say
The plastic world
Shuttling among dimensions
Listen to the music
You need to tell no one
You will be entirely free
And extremely pleased
Could I guess your possible results
That in darkness Your flare made
A world I saw

What is wrong with you?
I'm having a bout
What a bout have you?
I'll tell you about
I do not know of this disease name
but I do suffer from it all the same
You say to someone to do something some way
Because of your own conscience belief that is why you this say
That someone does it as you please, as you want, every single thing
So you must be then happy about it? Or am I just not getting?
Well, you are not getting it, and I am just as you are, and so should be us all
but when this someone does it as you told him to
you feel that it is your whole world's and your whole life's
funeral
I would it call

When a death comes about,
All I do is shout
But when I look about
I see a dog’s pout
I thing about it
All it lead to is getting lit
And if I think a bit
All that comes from it
Is me looking at the Lord
Thinking,
Why pout and shout,
When I could look
And I think about?
If I just smile for a while,
I feel like I can build the Nile

death, dedication, music, music, music,
When you were born, you were destined to have a future that was very bright.
You were a fantastic pianist and I've been listening to your records every night.
People have been very sad since you passed away.
I bought over twenty of your albums on Ebay.
You recorded over a hundred albums during your career.
Your music has brought joy to millions over the years.
When you died last year, your music had to cease.
You were one of the best, may you rest in peace.
(Dedicated to Roger Williams who passed away October 8, 2011.)
