Last Commented Loss / Death Poems (1,049)

The blue waters – Sky – stand still.
On the horizon has anchored,
Moon’s pale coloured barque.
At the shore have landed,
All the sailors – every star.
The breath of leaves is choked,
The wind has fallen into a lull,
The gong demanding silence reverberates.
Then, stillness absorbed all the voices.
From the breast of dawn’s nymph,
Fell the veil of darkness.
Instead,
Dark shadows of despair and loneliness
Have covered her whole being.
Yet, she is not aware of it.
No one is any longer aware, that at dusk,
When he left the town,
In which direction he proceeded;
There was no path, nor any goal.
No traveller, now,
Feels up to the journey.
This is a broken link of duration,
From the chain called as Day & Night –
This is the moment to lament Time’s death.
On such occasion, quite subconsciously,
After removing the cloak of myself,
I too, sometimes, look at –
Those spots of rebuke,
And these blooms of affection.
Lines etched by running tears,
Stains left by the bleeding heart.
This rip scratched by the enemy’s claw,
This image impressed by a friend’s hand.
These jewels bestowed by tender lips,
These slashes gored by some evil tongue.
Still, this cloak,
My covering for day and night,
This torn mantle,
Is what I despise; yet, love.
At times frenzy demands:
“Rip it off, throw it away.”
And sometimes love whispers:
“Cherish it; hold it close to your heart.”

Has anyone
seen my brother?
He was just here the other day
perhaps he is just sleeping
in the ruins of some city
so far away...

Has anyone
seen my sister?
a lovely country song
neither one said good by before leaving
or they would be gone
just left us alone and grieving..

Has anyone seen my brother
or my sister too?
They were here the other day
but they can no longer breathe here
I keep reaching for their hands
to tell them I can't really either...

They won't be back
this I know
I allowed them today in my mind
the past is healing so slow
the love I have in kind
suddenly came back today...

We lost
A sudden lost
We cry
What and why

Another

Who becomes
the tale

In the darkness of my dreams i see the light
That shines so bright
A tunnel so white
My heart races

I glare at the light
On the edge my feet motionless
Should I stay or should I go
Laughter I hear

Relatives call
Come my son
My mother calls
Come through the light join

Me today
Your nanny here
And grandad too
Your brothers too

Come my son enter the light
I call out
I want too mother
But not just yet
Father sister and brother need me a bit longer

I will join you when my time is through
Love you all mother dear give my love to nany and grandad
Am all ways here

The man she really wants won't
be found in some scribbled poem
He won't dial her number as she
sobs by a late night phone
For she knows that he is born of
magic which the wind cannot contain
Only He understands her smiles and
the sorrow of her rain
She awaits for him to decend with
sword and shield in hand
She reasons her children will florish
in a sweet and conquered land
But she awakens to the kiss of her
prince, yet it's to sad for words to tell
For she lived her life as a devil
And now she abides in Hell..

For you were the love of my life.
Many a years we stood by each others side.
Me loving to be there in your arms.
We were a family complete whole.
When you died i broke.
Our family fell apart.
The Lord was lost.
Alcohol consumed me.
Searching for a fill to my life.
Barely able to meet my needs
let alone my kids.
Finances unstable you found a way
to put me back together.
It has been a slow process
yet i have found my way back.
Two of my kids have found
there way back to GOD.
One is still lost searching
for what is gone.
Trying to fill the void with food.
Reaching out i try to help her.
Unable to do it on my own
i give it to GOD.
I rededicated my life to Him
asking Him to lead my steps.

Feeling of touch,
Touch from high above,
Above heaven's tears,
Tears for a lonely soul.

Her beauty never rests,
Even though she's gone,
But as long as she's remembered,
It will shine on and on.

The Hope Love Gives

I see you in my dreams each night,
I forget that you have gone away,
Until the break of the morning light,
Then I struggle with another day.

It is in dreams where we meet again,
Where I touch your cheek and know
That you await beyond the pain
Where love and mercy ever flow.

These dreams are His gift to me,
Where stars above a sandy beach
Are the same ones we used to see,
But you are now beyond my reach.

Beyond doubt I know you live on,
Because my love for you still lives,
For if truly you were ever gone,
Then gone would be the the hope love gives.

Death is not thee end
Fear it
See it
Feel it
It happens every day around you
Sitting back you realize
Some day you will be called
For some where out beyond the distant stars
A new life awaits
Away from the harm of this world
No more pain
No more suffering
Close your eyes and dream
Your biggest dream
Happiness will find you
Be free forever more.
