Freddie

Freddie 

Friendship you offered me freely
Ready always to help and advice
Each comment structured and balanced
Delightful were the words you wrote
Drawing pictures and visions in the mind
Invoking thoughts that inspired
Each phrase and verse chosen well

I read the last poem he wrote before changing his id
to poet aggressor and to me it seemed he knew what
lay ahead. Maybe even welcomed it, I think he had,
had enough for who knows what he was going through
we all wear public faces keep the pain and torment
hidden. Freddie dear Freddie already I miss you so
much I will leave you with his own moving words.

Spoken Words

richness of the heart
the tongue will speak graciously
a bounty of words
spoken tenaciously well
incanting ones included

Mea Culpa

I'm the accuser
blaming myself directly
a sign of my guilt
pointless justification
without any allowance

Missing

at the funeral
unsuccessful burying
mourners in plenty
grave devoid of a body
instead thrown in a furnace

Anticipation 

courage is with me
just as long I keep breathing
once I die I'm dead
apprehensively of course
don't know where I'm going yet

Shadow, It is weird to see this after Freddie has come back to life and told us all it was a joke. I even did a blog for him. Good grief. You wrote some really nice stuff here.

Shadow, Well-Done and quite moving. Your Tribute to Freddie is writing from the Heart!! Cheers, Gary (P.S. I too, was somewhat confused with the second poem as listed.)

Hi Shadow, you have me confused. I just read Arthur Vasso's poem and you have it listed here as Freddie's poem. Is this a case of mistaken identity??? Freddie was from Malta and Arthur is from Canada.
