Mr B

Mr. B.

It was a gorgeous sunny day ... On the day you passed away. Suddenly, the day didn’t seem so nice anymore ... I was feeling so hurt, down to my very core. Since then I’ve thought of you, day in and day out ... I just miss you so deeply

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.

This is a poetical stand for those people who have taken their own lives in Ireland this year. If Ireland’s suicide rate keeps going at the same pace. Ireland will lose over 2000 people by the end of the year. Please don’t let happen. Make our government stand up and take notice of this epidemic before it is too late.

Loss

Loss

I wrote this poem at a time when a dear friend had lost his wife in a tragic accident. I saw how much he grieved for her and it broke my heart. I chose to write This poem in a feeble effort to express, in some small way, my condolences And an empathic understanding of what he might be going through.

I have changed the title as I felt it did not suit the poem and also the last 3 lines,, it fits much better now!

There are so many words I can't bring myself to say for if I do, what have I to cling onto? "She was a lady, one of the best", I hear you say, the word "was" like a dart in my heart, she "is" I scream in silence, not willing to accept this grief

Dark Night

Dark Night

Twenty-four dark years rain down on Batman’s cave and bullets cloud summer. Pandemonium! Life’s delicate balance lost. Summer tears stream down. I am not surprised, says son's mother, reported. Summer reign shocks world.

It was only a dream but it seemed so real

" It was only a dream but it seemed so real"

Seems like only yesterday, We were like brothers. You were bigger than me, Always watching out for me, Protecting me from the others. Meeting you here seems so real, Im sorry that its the only way. I fold my hands and close my eyes, Oh my

A Shadow To The World

A Shadow To The World

I wrote this poem, not really for myself, but for a girl who feels like she has nothing to look forward to anymore and just... feels completely empty. In the end it talks about a new life about to be born, when in reality, you'd think that meant a baby or something... Nah, it basically means death--turning into something beyond our world right now, like an afterbirth kind of thing.

Gate To Heaven

I wrote this for my grandma who passed away in 2009.

The Great Adventure

What great adventures lay beyond This world that we can see One step outside this world we take When death to us comes near We should not with fright greet The harbinger of death But gladly embrace all he brings On this brand new journey beg

Hero Worship Mortality

Hero Worship & Mortality

Johnny Callison was a star right fielder for the generally hapless Philadelphia Phillies of the 1960's. As a baseball-crazed youngster, I idolized the gifted left-handed slugger. My trusty transistor radio was tuned in to all Phillie game broadcasts

Making a Choice

Making a Choice

This poem is about suicide or thoughts of wanting to kill themselves or harm themselves or others. There are many reasons people tend to commit suicide. Down on life, relationship problems, bullied or abused both mentally and physically. This short poem is meant to anyone who might be thinking of hurting themselves or anyone else. The person in this poem is crying out to God to kill him, he cries out all night long and cries through the night. When he see's the sunrise he realized God din't kill him. So he was angry at God and yelled and screamed at him. He wanted to know why he didn't kill him. And God told him he had a choice as did every human he made. He could harm himself and his soul lost forever or he could recieve his gift and join him in heaven. What will your choice be?

Broken

Broken

The one friend I had, who promised she'd never leave me like all my other friends have, lied. She left me. She deleted me from facebook, blocked me from Deviant Art, and just because I have had a hard time these past 6 years finding work. She assumes every single city/state is the same and everyone can get hired if they beg door to door. Friendship is not something you find in a store isle with a price sticker on it...you care about people because of who they are, not for what they have or don't have. You care because you have their trust and they're willing to tell you the deep dark secrets from their lives, not because they pulled money out of their purse to buy your affections. I must admit, she was my last remaining friend. So, I did cry, and hide in my own little emotional shell and I don't know if I want to come out again. Not if it means, more people leaving me.

Water Trees Wind Emptiness

Water, Trees, Wind, Emptiness

This is a (probably bad) translation by myself of a poem I wrote in my native tongue. I don't know if it even becomes anything near to a poem in English. But I post it anyway.

Alone

Alone

Just relized I've been in this dance solo, since you let go of me I've felt way too low. I've learned to work around lifes curves myself, while you turned your back, insulted me, but i grew stronger. Mad and out characther when your presence

I Lossed Another Fool

I Lossed Another Fool.

Don't want to believe this is the end. Too much and too complicated to start again. Every single love seems intoxicating, but for that feel good always ends with heart breaking. Scream out for you to hold me through, but it seems yet again a

In memory of Jesse

In memory of Jesse

My oldest son Jesse hung himself on 10/2/2005. A loss that I will never get over and the questions remain today. I miss him so much at times I cry alot. It is the memories and the birthdays and holidays that make it the hardest. Each day that passes he is in my heart and mind. Just wishing I had that one last chance to tell him how much he meant to me.
