The End of Forever

Never I say
The End is not Written.
The Day is not Done,
No End to the Journey
At most, a slower Run
The Adventures and Amusements
That Life surely Provides
Do not End at each Junction
No matter how Hard
The Losses we Live through
Are Toilsome to Brook
But They are the Nourishment
That fills up Life’s Book
And each End we Perceive
In our Loss and [...]

Together Yet Apart

It seems to get harder and harder
Since that day you went away
And still the people keep telling me
Everything will be okay
And I know deep inside
That it’s better where you are now
But we’re not together, you’re not here
It seems so damn unfair
Seems like only yesterday
Living together, two as one
Then suddenly my eyes were opened
When I realized [...]

Transitory End

We’ve traveled this great country, side-by-side we’ve journeyed
Your beautiful blue eyes chasing the shadows dancing on northern skies.
In times of plenty we were content and serene,
Peacefully sleeping, Dangers few and far between.
We’ve also known much hunger, ribs protruding from our sides,
Mournfully we cried when our starving children died.
But remember our first winter, romping thru [...]

Grief

All night the clock ticked, and outside a moon like day,
And I, in the ravages of sleep, head on a stranger’s breast,
Shed tears, like a task not to be put away….
In the false moon light, overwhelming grief in my happy bed,
An ocean of tears, set to undo joy’s rebirth.
I would not wake at your word, [...]

Memories of my Friend

Years flowing by in a blur, so long now since that day of loss
That never-desired, heartless caller, tearing you from me
I so tried to ease your pain, take the burden from you
My anguish of those last hours still bedaze my soul
In my love I still reach for you my friend…
I did grieve but could [...]

On the Edge

I try to laugh, struggle for the meaning
Beloved trees taunt me dropping their leaves
Their time done, the turn, circle complete
Lost, I sit quietly, bleeding in pain
Death comes so easily for them
With envy I sit watching each fall
My autumn in the past, yet I remain
Their leaves never to stay, never to feel this empty
I sit and [...]

Till Then

I know that you miss me
But alas I was called home
And you think it a shame that I died so young
The smallest of time, freedom or life
A meager light touch of love, joy or peace
Not near enough time, a waste at the least
But time holds power o’er all of this pain
Like the change to our [...]

A Kiss, a Hug, and Why

I sit in this dark corner and cry
The questions come again and again
Why?…..
I pray for you
I ask myself why you not me
Why couldn’t I help
Why couldn’t I make it go away
Why…..
You are loved, and oh so missed
Reach down and take my hand
Take me to where you are now
Let us be together again
Why…..
When I think of [...]
