Loss / Death Poems (1,049)

Alone I Stand

Alone I Grow

Alone I Breath,

Stretching High Above This Crystal-Encasement In This Dark Warm Room, Water So Low Stem So Delicate And Dry, The Cravings Are Unbearable As Paddles Float Airily To The Ground. As My Head Starts To Drop Tears Start To Fall, Could This Be The Day The Cravings Are No More? Could This Be The Day I Stand Tall No more? Could This Be The Day I Grow No More? Could This Be The Day I Breath No more? And Could This Be The Day I cry My Last Tear?

I can see your pain and your soul wanting to be released,As I look into your eye's I see you drifting away and I can see your soul wanting to be released.Today I looked into your eyes and you are no longer with us.You are drifting away quickly your time here on earth is done.

Tonight I can write the saddest poem,
while thoughts of my passed away father keeps me awake at night,
I am silently praying for his soul to rest in peace,
putting candle light
which moving reflection on the wall playfully dances...
and like a fly in the spider net
Memories of childhood awaken to be chew piece by piece;
the very first thought dance of Vienna Waltz with my father,
and smile to happy time and tears of loss
mixes all up in one spirit mingles...
Opening the door for the soul of memories to float,
while wind moves curtens making small and big wave -swell.
One suppress life is hidden in my garden branches
which scratching swings on the window glass cries
and shakes door of my tearful soul
waving with white handkerchief to memories of my father.

Thoughts of past and present
like cold birds tightens up to each other
and under brown blanket dreaming awake
of rowing boat with my father,
Thrown net, court fishes...
and last time seeing hes face in tears
wishing me luck in last fare well,
dreaming of lost daughter in the white world;
hes whispers in the wind,
calling me back...
and I am whispering back to the wind;
Forgive me father,
Your seeds of fruit spread fare from you ...
I am whole Me only in joined parts of old and new world.

The bells of universe,I am ringing with you,
Bells of seances,and chaos deafen,
In me all is rolling.In me all is shaken;
senses,and consciousness,half dreams and half awaken,
Death ringing,
Love in me ringing to dreams of anchor in man soul,
But man falls like star in abyss....
where rope of anchor slides true the wounded hands,
that can not hold on to rope from abyss.

In me all is ringing...
Bells of tenderness;like a little tear.
Bells of innocence and regrets;
from mercy and from enlightening.
Bells of soul,bells for kind heart
that writes you with loving and compassionate line of pen,
Bells to all Life
and loss...
Bells to all Love,dreams and ideals;
Found
and Lost...

Am stiut ca noaptea mea soarta de inima nu a fost un fel sa-mi
Caile voastre ratacitoare si salbatice au stabilit în cele din urma te gratuit
Când m-am vazut lipsit de viata cu zori crainicul pâna în ziua
În inima mea, durerea mea a facut spectacol si spiritul meu au tradat
Acum, ca ma tot ceea ce a lasat în pace, unde esti tu acum prietenul meu?
Anii de zbor rapid si timpul lui sageata zboara catre capatul sau
Mortalitatea peste leagana puterea noastra sa-l si regretul meu preveni
Nu a fost de a restabili lumina in ochii tai au atunci toci
Ca nu veti mai fi mai umbla cu bucurie printre mine
Citatie moarte una la un tarm la rece si mult mai îndepartat
La care te-ai dus draga mea de pisica si te întrebi unde sunt acum?
Asa c*m am tine stiloul meu din nou, durerea fuge eu si iubirea mea creste -a
Viata triumfa asupra pierderii si spiritul meu slab este facut puternic
Cosmo - Am facut sa traiesc din nou într-un cântec cu adevarat fara vârsta.


I knew that night in my heart fate wasn't kind to me
Your ways wandering and wild had finally set you free
When I saw you lifeless with dawn the herald to the day
In my heart, my grief did show and my spirit did betray
Now that you left me all alone, where are you now my friend?
The years fly by fast and time's arrow flies to its end
Mortality over sways our power to prevent it and to my regret
It was not to restore the light in your eyes did I then fret
That you would no longer walk with joy among me anymore
Death summons one to a cold and far more distant shore
To which you went my dear cat and you wonder where am I now?
As I take up my pen anew, grief flees me and my love doth grow
Life triumphs over loss and my weak spirit is made strong
Cosmo - I have made you live again in a truly ageless song.

You were there when my first tear fell
You held me and I knew you’d always be
there
When I took my first step
You caught me

I said my first word
Your joyful smile filled your eyes
Everyone knew my first word
I learned the world’s ways
I knew I could run to you when I was afraid

Mom I’m in my soul
Never far from you
Do you feel my wind-arms around you
My sunrise smile upon your cheek

With every new day-dawn
My love would be in the sun’s eyes
Every sparkling star will be my prayer for you
The whisper of the wind will be my voice

When train-tears leave your eyes a rose will
grow

Our spirit house is waiting for you

Till we meet again

Looked at your photo
Wished I could hear your voice one more
time

Missing you so much my dear
friend

I still remember our younger days
You were my big brother
The secret smoke in the classrooms
Trains in the hallway

Your eyes so blue like a clear sky day
Your voice of advice so gentle like dew
Our talking hours were as vast as the desert
I breathed all your words into my soul

Your last day
My words walked alone on a single path

Your mouth was silent, your closed eyes looked
at me

Now you are looking from Heaven
Hearing every word
Seeing every tear falling
Just like a leaf in autumn

A Poem for Robin Williams

Robin you always made me Laugh and cry at the same time
I laughed so hard sometimes my sides ached and tears ran
You gave me everything and more, while always wanting more
I cry now because youve gone and left a painful gap your life gone
Now I know that you wore the mask that many know and wear
Despair and dread Depression raised its awful head mask hidden
I’ve been chased by this dreadful curse and worn the mask to hide
But you my friend took it to its final bow to end when all not was good
Robin so many loved you she’s and He’s our tears are for your passing
You gave Mork meaning and in everything you did your Humour
Reigned supreme a magician with feelings producing laughter
When so easily tears could follow, such pain you bore Robin
Hidden away behind you Mask you Bore you give me hope
To recognise the beast that took you from us a Hideous thing
Depression a multitude of things your Mask concealed away
None can help you now too late but you Robin are helping us all
To fight the savage beast within us and unmask out true feelings
To identify in us to thosee that wear the mask sometimes like you
Thank you my famous friend I’ll carry your Humour with me
For the rest of my life, thank you “Nanoo Nanoo!”

the tear that was shed
was not the tear that fell
but a glistening slip of tongue
held out to dry
upon an empty berth of grey
knotted to prickly pear
a bone white desert sky

Tears can`t reflect the pain felt during loss

Nor can the sinking of the heart

Or the silence that clings to you and coats your world

If time can heal all wounds, let this one, bringing with it, good memories in place of bad.

A lights` gone out, leaving flame to follow.

Loose your way, think of him, he is your guide into the future.

There is nothing anyone can say more than you, than what he meant to this world and leaves behind.

His legacy grows not for the world, but for you, who loved him.

If I could be given a moment more
And render you to life and restore
The time missed out and the love lost
Could I ask you to pay such cost?

Would I want the angels to spring your release
And steal away your heavenly peace
Would I want for myself a golden moment
And rob you of the ultimate at-onement?

Is love meant to let be
To wish for more so affection can see
The rainbow's end and the journey won
The end of night and the break of dawn

I cry for you but I envy more
The moments you have in endless store
The loss is great and the hurt is deep
But rather that than take your sleep

For Love called you there even though I cried
It heard me not the day you died
Mercilessly, beautifully and cruelly it took
My heavens fell and my earth shook

If only I can hold the faith
That will one day remove death's wreath
And place you again in my sight
Eternally ending this dark plight
