Haven't felt like writing since that girl got killed,such a horrible tragedy in are community,is that one of the horrible powers of tragedy? The way it makes us look at are own lives as if by comparison next to the question. What if? What if that was us,or me,or somebody I loved?
The Rose
I wrote this poem on the anniversary of the death of a friend lost to a murderous husband. The poem itself is an abridgement of an analogy of her life as I saw it and how she affected everyone around her. RIP Sam.
Enough said...
These few lines were written a few days ago while listening to the news and the way sorrow and misery is portrayed. Each station has it's own agenda and way of expressing the pain that the victims are feeling but with a cold and de-saturated position regardless of how they try to be sincere.
Lament for a Soldier and his Love.
Passchendale, much written in heroic terms, yet that wee bit 'o' hill, witnessed carnage unimaginable, for little gain. There in its museum, shines an inscription which reads, 'The thought that Jock died for his country is of no comfort to me, his memory is all I have left to Love. John Low's fiancee, 10th Jan 1918. Such sadness, such waste inspired this poem.

Special Friend
Well I lost my childhood friend to that awful disease cancer over the weekend at the age of 61. Makes you wonder what's next around the corner for us all? As kids we did get up to all sorts of mischief and we even looked like one another same mop of hair and cheeky grins, this we used to our advantage when it came to blame. A true friend David I will miss you but you will never be forgotten.

Rain
Lost in The rain Nobody to blame Feeling ashamed You came and then you went I have nothing to give My heart is empty My tear face stained It's full of pain Alone I walk in the rain Searching for something That I'm missing What it

on death
When somebody you love dies,it just makes you feel so alone inside. Like there is this weight pushing you down and even though you have to keep moving it's not the same.As you begin to come to terms with it,you see that it is not about you or how you

A Defiance to Old Age
Thou shalt not rob me,thievish Time, Of all my blessings or my joy; I have some jewels in my heart Which thou art powerless to destroy. Thou mayest denude my arm or strength, And leave my temples seamed and bare; Deprive mine eyes of passion's light,
The Journey
Some literary and mythic allusions in this one. When Theseus destroyed the Minotaur he returned to Athens by ship. The signal was that if he had white sails he was successful, black sails unsuccessful. Unfortunately he forgot to lower the black sail and his father Aegeus thinking his son was dead, jumped into the sea and killed himself. Hence the sea off Athens is known as the Aegean.
Gaza 2014
Trapped in a massacre of innocent people, while visting Palestine helping with humanitarian aid, and loosing a friend.
The Undertaker
When bitter winds blow from the east it brings slow death to man and beast the undertaker rubs his hands with glee, for he smells a feast His neighbours dying off like flys he measures them and notes there size then sheads an allagators tear
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.
