How Do You Say Goodbye
I walk amongst the twilight shadows I want to cry, but I cannot I want to howl and let my emotions loose But they are tightly encapsulated within me How do you say goodbye to your father When he does not acknowledge death When he believes tha
Final goodbye
letting go
One Day
I'm no one special according to me. There's a hopeless gap in this esteem. Fluttering and flitting about I'll say my lines, while you figure out- What could come next? Like a blind prophet somewhere In the middle of a sand storm. I cou
Goodbye my friend

Feelings
just opening up the memory box,
Pain
I wrote this after my dog had past away.
Looking Back
Life was so much different then When I was young and free No cares or worries to bother me As a merchant marine I went to sea Around the world so many times The things I saw and did None compared to sweet Marie When I found her in Madrid
Thinking of You
Written during a time of healing after cancer ripped my grandfather from my arms. Rest in Peace F.T.K.
YES
My belated mom was a very special to me ... whatever she did, however she reacted with my attitudes, why she did this and that, oftenly ... I can't figure it out ... BUT at last I know that she did it because she LOVES me! And this poem is for you BUNDA ... I know I'm not good to make this ... but I know that THERE IN YOUR NEW HOME ... you love this!! Memories of you will always with me.

Coward
For the Orlando KILLER.. and all of the ones who think they have the right to take innocent lives.. ? So, at a loss for words, to say much more. Title, says it all.
Walking Shadow
To quote the Bard: "Life is a walking shadow." Recent events have inspired me on this one.
Serenity
This poem is about losing someone dear to your heart and finding the strength in the little that is salvaged,,, and the light that shines way after your loved ones are gone,
Black Saturday - A Tribute
This poem is about the Black Saturday Victorian bushfires. I remember watching the news with tears as the fatalities rose every day. I was impressed with the effort that all of the country put in with donations and support.
My angle has gone
I dont think this is poem as much as a short story that I wrote it about my father's death
Cry Me A River
Not really a poem, actually lyrics to a song i wrote but thought i'd share them. Not about any particular event, just about sorrow and loss albeit though death or seperation or anything else that drags you down. Comments appreciated, thanks.
Some People Say
I wrote this back in '98. After an infulental man in my life died. He was a tall proud man. "The Chief" Mr. W. Campbell.
Dealing with a loss of a loved one.
I wrote this poem because I have lost my husband of 16 years 10 months ago. Everyday is a struggle but you gotta keep moving on so how I cope is I write it helps me and I wanted to share with all of you. We all should not take life for granted we should cherish every moment we have because life can sure surprise you at times and one moment your on top of the world the next moment you are going thru something that is so unexplainable words can't even express it. Trust me when I say this that dealing with grief is a emotion I don't wanna feel but your human and you feel it thank god I found someone whos helping me thru it and Im ever so thankful.
wooden desire
This tree stood firm, in the midst of a shadow, a silent witness of all that had happened, it could not speak, it wept soundless, the wind whispered, 'can I heal your grief?' The star came and tried to caress its twigs, but this weeping tr
John The Love I Lost
This was the first poem I wrote after John's death. It pretty much sums up how I feel after his death. All you connecting single members feel free to read. For anyone who has lost Im sure you can relate to this. Peace
Cardinal Sacrifice
I was trying to see these events with his eyes, Icarus, the son of Daedalus. His father seemed supremely arrogant to me and strangely careless of his son. What is there was so much more to the story... http://www.goingfaster.com/icarus/icaruslegend.html
you save me
you save me
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

Never Forever
I wrote this for my son Taison who was stillborn on 2/2/2006. He was full term with 23 days until he was due. My heart still aches so very much for him still, but he gives me a form of peace I've never experienced before. I love talking about him to anyone so I don't mind anyone asking. Thanks for reading.

Grey and Read
For some reason memories of my uncle's funeral came to me. Perhaps the winter blues...perhaps the fond memories while he lived... I don't know. It was a numb and blurry time.
Momma do you remember (Alzheimer's)
I wrote this about a year before my Mom died of Alzheimer's wondering I guess what might jog her memory when she forgot me thinking if I reminded her of important things in my life that are considered mile stones of my life. My Mom passed in July 2011 not knowing me.
DEATH
THIS POEM WAS WRITTEN DURING MY GRIEF WHEN MY HUSBAND PASSED AWAY IN 2004
The Grave
The woman slowly through the graveyard walks, She stops a while and at a grave she talks, Oh Jimmy! oh Jimmy! oh why did you go, You were my joy oh didn't you know, On her face she wears a frown, The sky so soft on her looks down, The drizzle

An Ode ToMy Friend And Boss
I wrote this poem a number of years ago in tribute to a man who was not only my boss but also my friend.He was a quiet genius in electronics and one of the earliest developers of cable TV. At one time he owned 9 systems in 4 states. Since this is Memorial Day I thought it fitting to post my poem.
