Kiwi Loss
Written in sympathy for the 50 who were mercilessly gunned down and for their friends, families and fellow New Zealanders who suffer these overwhelming losses. Such terrorist acts are an attack against all who hold peace and each other within loving hearts. May our communities find or construct avenues to reclaim civility and health.

Beneath this tree I'm all alone The ground becomes my bedding Stars so bright, no clouds around The moon a distant figure A gentle breeze to cool my brow The hoot of owl in distance Here is my home beneath the sky This place I want for rest et

Why, I Ask
This is not reality ... this was written in a response to a challenge by my lovely lady
Dear Ann
Can you believe your death gave birth to me? Live or die, you said insistently. you chose the second & the first chose me. I mourn you. Is love the sugarcoated poison that gets us in the end? We spoke of men as often as poems, We

A late little note
Your love lived in every cell of mine Our souls and genes still intertwine loss of you nightmares crush my mind no peace from them I ever find When he scared you I felt your fear if he came you kept me near Protecting me from all his harm hi
Remember Me
You cannot see me, As I'm a shadow of your past, My life ending was meant to be, Nothing ever lasts. I've been with you since the day I died, Making sure no harm comes your way, I've always been right by your side, At night, beside you I lay.
For I Will Not Leave This House
The most terrible of goodbyes. This is an implicit poem for a friend Steven after a personal tragedy. His younger sister was lost at sea and never recovered. This is for both of them and about both of them I guess.

Hope
Have you ever felt the solitude That the darkness of life can bring Where black an grays are only rude An no sunlight can ever get in T'is a place where negativity thrives An hope is too far away Has shattered many lives Never too see anothe
Goodbye
I have tried to be What is expected of me Now I have no energy To be a part of society I looked for my lover Inside my dreams Under the covers And in everything But there was no one there I have no reason to try I don't want to awake
What matters.... Cafe's Challenge
Only two things matter at the end of everyone's day: God and the people in our lives! I have seen atheists and agnostics pray nearing their passing away...and it made me wonder ....Life (the spirit that makes us human )must return to where it came from......

how cool to have your poetic mind to take a sudden curve.
The Other Side
Hi ALL, Just a few thoughts Please comment Tiger
The Wish of Heaven in the Sky!
As one grows older the spirits of our loved ones pass us by! Tis the old Question, is there life after death? In a land of paradise or does the cloak of darkness just consume us and we are no more?
