Baby Death Poems

Our Agony

I didn’t see her face.
you did!
I didn’t get to hear of sweet little girl voice.
You did!
I didn’t get to hear her say mommy and daddy!
You did!
I didn’t get to hold her tight.
You did!
I don’t get to dream about her.
You do! 
I had all the pain, and the blood, and the agony. 
But in the end

Mother, Father are weeping

Mother, father are weeping
Because the heavens didn’t send their heart a soul
The wind, their house is breaking
And the morning is very cold

Outside they find
With the earth in the sky
That their sound is not here
Nor is it nearby

There's a train screaming angels to lower their heads
And a cold concrete block reeking of death
When no one was

History of Paper-Hearts

Have you seen, with no word,
The immense, cold voids
,among the slender, patient buds,
Received hollow seeds?

Have you beheld the earth
Lay the masks of dreams upon itself,
And like a sullen cradle,
Crush them within its embrace?

Have you seen the old children,
Pitching their tents upon the graves of young mothers,
On that day when mist
Wept upon the bloodied bridal bed

Sleep

Rest my child,
May your dreams be forever sweet,
Like your gentle heart,
A peaceful sleep.
Drift into the silence,
To a peace I'll never know,
For until the world spins in reverse,
I cannot reach where you go.
Slumber away from the evils of this world,
Knowing love will always be by your side,
Rest in heavenly silence,
Pay no heed to the tears that

My Fair Lady Lidja--disquiet--sigh
Limit thine opinions, my Lord Miltrose,
Thy intent fails midst tardily shadows
Albeit findeth tis aid satisfy
Ahh! My Lord Sir Gilroy, tis nice surprise
Twill thine fair milieu idle pitched moist lips
Delivery thrills with a smile post scripts
Admittedly the id did simplify
A lady said the incident eclipse
Ships neither sink nor swim in tranquil Springs
Flights robins

You Will Never Be Alone

It is so sad what someone did to you
Not wanting to be your mommy
She left you all alone on your special day
Not even giving you a name
She wanted you to be alone for eternity
Little did she know that was not going to happen
It didn’t matter how long you were on this Earth
Many celebrated your life

Original song: Go In Peace written by Sam Baker


Go and see what's waiting for you
Go and hear sweet angel's sing
I will come, and I'll be with you
When my time here is through
Then I'll fly above the stars
Away from sorrow, away from pain
To the place my heart longs for
To be with you, with you again 

Go

Dear gillian
I often wonder what you would of  been  like
The colour of your eyes and the colour of your hair too

You didnt live for very long on earth
But still a child of God 
Who still would of had great worth

Premium MemberRequiem for a Motherless Child

I was buried in a tomb for unknown persons.
When I was alive I knew nothing of this life.
Now that I'm dead I seem to have acquired it all.
My heartless mother abandoned me, unwanted,
Left me on the cold stairs of the door of Poor Claire's.
The rain fell incessantly and I cried hungry.

It was a time when

Soul Eater


     The concept of the soul was intangible and distant.
 Faith and belief all that gave it substance, 
weak and watery as it was. Until that wretched day…

     I hurt, I ached, in a before unfelt place deep within.  My physical being was effected but

Of Passing Cloud

Of Passing Cloud
 - Roger White

Unaware of the world below, a wispy cloud suspended between Heaven and Earth
drifts westward against an azure sky…
…blithely
As if coaxed by an unseen presence or hastened by a gentle call,  
reaches the setting sun of the western horizon…
…quietly  
Awash in hues of gold, beautiful and radiant,
delicate tendrils touch

She watched the demolition team enter her old school. In the next few days it would be raised to the ground. The end of an era she thought, Christ, it was depressing.
Suddenly a thought entered her head, could a mystery finally be cleared up. She ran out of the house over to the demolition team,

24 Days Old

Words
Like I’ve never felt the worst
Like I’ve never felt it hurt
You don’t know me now do you?

Ghosts 
Haunting brand new unused minds
Feeding on a soul alive
You’ve not felt it now do you?

Was a tough struggle, ‘Tween land and water
War zone placed with the faintest border
To paint the struggle, the hues uncertain
Couldn’t understand why ‘‘twas so

Lost Angel

We lost you today
And it's sad in many ways
We didn't get to meet you
Or hold you to which is hard to say
My precious Grandson
Now he is God's Angel
And it hurts and is sad today
I will always love you
And remember you
And always miss you
Hugs for your Mom and Dad
Which they are very sad
We all love you

Premium MemberEt Tu, Mama

What makes you human without your limbs,  
Human without your nose and toes – 
What makes you human without your ears  
Makes the unborn me human without your form. 
Yes, it’s my essence, not form, which counts: 
Be not liberal in defining gender yet conservative 
in defining life. 
 
By one sentence do
