Best Celebration Of Life Poems


Premium Member A Celebration of Life
I love life, that's probably apparent
By the happiness in all my poems
When I make my final curtain call
Want the biggest celebration known

Don't want none of that mourning stuff
No sad songs, no shedding of tears
Just want some joyous good time fun
Great food and buckets of cheer

Tradition...

Premium Member Star Riders
The end, so close yet so far
We're riding our shooting star
Our life, the blink of an eye
A flash, that lights up the sky
It's sad so few will see
Our brilliant entirety
But for, those few that do
Imagine the dazzling view.

In life, blazing a trail,
At the end, a...

But This Day Is Mine
But this Day is Mine!

 Joyfully I seize this new promising day,
along with whatever comes my way.
With God’s help, I’ll make it the best one ever,
putting my best foot forward with every measure.
I’m singing a new song, dancing a new dance,
doing things differently willing to...

Premium Member Last Breath
The gentle wind warms my old wrinkled skin
As I slowly sink in the sea's soft sand
The gliding flight of seabirds seen again
Beyond gray contours where sea touches land 
Their soft silhouettes claim this final place
As I silently stare into the view
And find quiet edges my...

Premium Member Harvest For The Senses
Before gathering gloom takes away our eyes, 
Let’s fill them with dandelions’ dance. 

Before our mouths are closed by the curfew of age, 
Let’s deposit in them the taste of kisses. 

Before dusk deafens our ears, 
Let them hear the just and the righteous sing....

Master of Science
I got my degree from
The University of Life,
Master of Science
In Trouble and Strife.

And I cruised and I boozed
Through so many happy years,
Many periods of laughter,
One or two periods of tears.
I tried so many different ways
To reach so many different ends
Always supported and surrounded
By good colleagues...

Premium Member In Nodding
though rather late, I woke up
i might have thought I wasted time in nodding
but what a wonderful dream I had

the hoary woods crew
danced on my eyelids
sourced balsam scent and poppies
the floaters
fresh and cruel motivators

i limp along, with a beard so long, and cane
my knee’s bent,...

Against The Wind, My Reward Now



That was my time so long ago
my hat was always in the show
Running, ever against the wind
more enemies than ever friend

Remembering yesterdays so well
the hot nights deep into Hell
O' so many darlings kept me fed
never saw my life was so...

~God Smiles~ 
(Free Verse) 
  

Sunrise comes out of sudden 
And with it departs the night 
And I see your smile again 
When I come out and see the sun 

The waters, the waves at sea 
Brings forward the lights around 
And I see...

Self Inflicted
In this world of possession,
Where, criticism creates frustration.
Sufferings and pain have easy flow,
Negativity and jealousy are in full glow.
Where emptiness is all around,
Pessimism can easily be found.
Intolerance growing day by day,
Depression is like the fever of hay.
Now hate and anger are spontaneous, 
Stress and worries...
