missing you
Littlest Angel
How's my littlest Angel doing up in heaven? Do you know how much you are loved and missed? I hope you only feel, joy and happiness, and don't look down to see our tears. We hold you in our hearts forever, and miss you each and every day. I ho
In Dreams
Thankfully I have never lost anyone this way but you only need to watch the news to see this happening every day
An Evening With Jack
Many years ago I had a friend who drank to ease the pain
When it's Time
reflective thoughts
When the Bell Tolls
death is a subject we all avoid mainly I think because of our own mortality yet its the one sure thing in life after birth sooner or later death is there waiting

you wore the mask of love planting your bomb like your seed of destruction disguised as love like a leper piece by piece in the shadows of love raped by the vile deed in memory of my broken heart you placed your timer killed by love tran

From the Bottom of the Hill
This was written for a certain Anne Sexton....
Lost no more
Walking on the sand...visions return like a lost ol' friend, Let the sun bake me. Watch the dolphins play. Another day missing you. Why do I stay? Feeling the waves...visions return of younger, better days. Let the sun bake me, Hear the laugh
A New Dawn
Not really a poem, actually not sure what it is :)
The Divine Miss Amphlett
Just like to pay tribute to Chrissie Amphlett who passed away the other day .........She shone a light in my life .......and brought a lot of joy to lot of people ...........R.I.P
Is it wrong to love her?
Is it wrong to love her? If it is then lift me to my feet Write a note to her and say, 'You left him on his knees and broken in spirit.. You left him.. Where does he go now? What is he suppose to do? Where is mercy?'
Where Did You Go
Where did you go my Darling One? I would like to know that answer Your eyes so bright, they dimmed As your breath just slowly faded What happens to those times we shared? Do you somehow keep those memories The love and joy, our life together

how cool to have your poetic mind to take a sudden curve.

Like the baby from the bag of a Kangaroo I look around the world From the Spider's net. Believe me, I am caught in the net of that Spider, Where all my strength and thought Are lost and gone for ever. Fraud, corruption, lust today are t

Beginning of the end
In the darkness, stillness spoke word of a silent whisper with faint screams that sounded my soul. Fear sat beside me with a comforting hand as my heart struck hastily like a thief to gold. I rustled to stay calm but in the room of nothing was so
Mystique (Shadows Challenge)
This was definitely a challenge which I enjoyed taking on. A lot of symbolism was used. The feeling I am trying to portray is of a lost soul with no hope of going on, having suffered a tragic loss wanting to end her life. Definitely had to consult the dictionary for this.
WHY CLING
Why cling to one life till it is soiled and ragged? The sun dies and dies squandering a hundred lived every instant God has decreed life for you and He will give another and another and another

I Miss You
I wrote this poem about my grandfather who died from prostate cancer four years ago. He was my best friend. We went everywhere together. When he died, I lost it. But I kept my emotions inside outside the home. It's hard not having him around. Especially around the holidays. He died four days before Easter. The only good thing is he went in his sleep. Unfortunately, my grandmother had to find him the next morning. He slept in a hospital bed downstairs in his house because he got so bad he couldn't even walk up stairs. He went from being outdoors active everyday to laying in a freaking bed all day and I didn't even visit him because I couldn't see him in that state he was in! I break down and cry sometimes because it gets unbearable. Luckily I have a great family support system. But my grandmother and I get emotional together because we're very close.
Something Stirring (villanelle)
As night descends, casting darkness all is silent and so very still waiting, listening, and breathless Into the dark of nights coldness do you feel it, that stone cold chill as night descends, casting darkness The cold seeping chilling den
Last Smile
A repressed memory makes itself known I had buried it deep within because in pain it did grow Nurtured by misery and strengthened with my tears Of the loss of the one that I loved dear My mended heart is starting to unravel It's like being hit i
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
