Best Condolence Poems
Condolence BookLoss fills the air
As people queue;
Death can speak
~~~~~~~~~
A common thread
Links us in gloom;
Mindful faces
~~~~~~~~~
Dry humid March
National mourning;
Heavy hearts
~~~~~~~~~
Gratitude speaks
Multi-racial tones;
Heat wave trials
~~~~~~~~~
Gun carriage cortège
Last journey route;
Crowds salute
~~~~~~~~~
Heavy rains fall
People brave downpour;
Final goodbyes
~~~~~~~~~
Public affection
Never seen before;
Singaporean grief
~~~~~~~~~
Six days of heatwave
Hellish hot and humid;
Seventh day torrent
~~~~~~~~~

A Bitter CondolenceZoological mental state.
Yesterday's news brings trouble to today's date.
Xylophones ringing playing tunes of my sorrow.
Willing to give it all for a moment I can borrow.
Venus Flytraps eating away at my soul.
United we once were, I was whole.
Tragedy promoted our separation.
Scenes of lucidity remain...

In a Condolence GatheringEach one cried.
None knew who died.
Aunty!
Some said loudly.
My great-uncle lost,
Said the host;
My son -
A bright sun...
Watched all!
Said: A Fall...!
Birth and death
Depends on the breath
Should one for money mourn?
Born...
Death is a fact known...!

CondolencesDeepest condolences for your recent loss
I understand how your sadness feels,
For I, too, have borne that bitter cross
And long for the time when memory heals
When peace returns what eternity steals.

We Hold You Close
Beyond this realm
of all we know
exists another
where souls can grow.
A welcome space
proved true by faith
where wings, brand new,
are greeted, embraced.
This special place
of peace and calm
is Heaven for settlers
from far and beyond.
So, when you’re heart aches
as it’s bound to do,
just make sure
you take care of you.
It’s...

Not Here, But Far Away“Every breath for death is an obligation “
Eternity looked at them
Equalized them with prosperity
& said: “they were brothers”
The goal was a long term goal.
Death took an excuse/ Asked for forgiveness / Stroke it hands - passed through the air on its heels / met...

Silent screams of abandonYou came into my life~
just before the ink dried...
in my husband's condolences register.
You knew I was grieving,
vulnerable,
trying to hold my children’s lives together with threads.
You listened to my story—
the doubled rent,
the school fees...
I wouldn’t be able to pay—
and you acted like you...

Stop the Propaganda Against the QueenThe Queen has answered her ancestral call
England is in sad reflex to her nightfall
My condolences to the Royal House
For Her Majesty can no more live within the House
But her legacies which make England proud
Will in many books be read aloud
Sadly we won't further say God...
