Best Cristina Poems
Play Not A Dirge When I Am Gone
Play not a dirge when I am gone;
light no candles, not even one.
A treasured poem would be enough
to mark my end when curtain’s drawn.
Hold no sad wakes to honor me
some happy poems, I’d rather be
recited on a night for friends
then spread my ashes o'er the sea.
And wonder not nor be afraid
if less of love you have conveyed;
you’re part of me and that’s enough,
while life’s not fair, I’m not dismayed.
If comes a time that you remember
that one fine day in November,
then send a kiss toward the sea
and just forget this fly in amber.*
When I Am Dead My Dearest
by Cristina Georgina Rossetti
When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thou wilt, forget.
I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not feel the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on, as if in pain:
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may remember,
And haply may forget.
*fly in amber - noun, reminder of the past

Cristina
the world is full of people
who just don't care
they see you need a ride
and leave you standing there
what's the use of friends
if they don't sympathise
and because of different parties
they don't comprimise
yes people can be mean
when they get upset
they show their ugly feeling
and do not act their best
i'm sorry for being one of those
that acted so unkind
i am so ashamed
i kind of lost my mind
please forgive me
for the nasty thing i've done
if this passes by us
then a victory we have won
but please don't denigh us
a friendship just begun
Inspired by Sandra Oh's character, Cristina Yang, from Grey's Anatomy. She says to Ellen Pompeo's character, Meredith Grey:
"You are a gifted surgeon with an extraordinary mind. Don't let what he wants eclipse what you need. He's very dreamy, but he is not the sun. You are."
Women empowering women. Best friends forever. I hope you have a person who's always there for you. Blessings and sunshine.
You are the sun
By Michelle Morris

You are the sun
Keep on shining
Light and love
Completely blinding
Beautiful and expansive
Cleansing and healing
Warm smiles and laughter
Enjoyment and freedom
Springtime blooms
Summer days and nights
Autumn harvesting of fruit
Winter reflecting lights
The sun gives life
Our Earth revolves around its glow
The rays give light and seasons
A reminder that we have hope
You are the sun
Shine brightly every day
Be like a sunrise
Keep living your hope and faith

Winter’s Visit
(Joseph’s Star)
Cold
As the wind
Blows across the land
Winter time seems very long
Outlined against a gray sky
Cold air brings shivers
Deep drift of
Snow
White
Wonderland
Brings some heart’s delight
Smoke curling up front chimney
The time of winter’s slumber
Weight down in pure white
Comes swirling
Down
There’s
The beauty
That renews all hope
With a simmer of sunshine
The north wind is waltzing on
The birds are singing
Spring has come

BODY PARTS OF THE PEOPLE WE KILL
BEING USED AS PROPS IN PHOTOS BY THE
****ED UP MURDEROUS AMERICAN SOLDIERS
PARADING AROUND THE GLOBE
BEATING UPON THE HEADS OF THE REST OF THE WORLD
WITH THEIR POLICEMAN”S
BATON---
do you think this is ok, mister/miss john/jenny Q taxpayer?
do you think that after these kids get roped in by recruiters to be all they can be,
they get taught in basic training that posing with the body parts of the Afghans that they kill is somehow right?
isn’t it bad enough that we are so ****ing self-righteous
that we believe we can beat the world into submission,
so that everyone will walk, talk & act like us?
isn’t it bad enough that desecration story after desecration story concerning the bodies of people that we are supposedly “protecting” end up being a news blurb for five seconds & then we are supposed to give a *****about
justin bieber & cristina aguilera?
HAVE AN OPINION ON THE SUBJECT?
THESE ARE THE BODIES OF THE PEOPLE THAT OUR TAX DOLLARS KILL.
YOU & I SHOULD BE ANGRY, NO?
THESE ARE THE BODIES OF THE PEOPLE THAT OUR TAX DOLLARS KILL.

"You did this."
"What are you talking about?"
"I know everything. I saw you. I watched you. I watched you feed her your human flesh. I saw the look on her face. She was disgusted, but she liked it. I watched you her, twice. You came twice in her. Then she woke up. She opened her eyes, and smiled at you. She looked you straight in the eye and said, 'I liked it.' You can't deny it. She is mad."
"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not crazy."
"You are. You're totally crazy."
"I'm not crazy."
"You are, Cristina. You're crazy. You're crazy."
I backed up against the wall. "I don't know what you're talking about."
