Best Departed Poems

For Linda, Freddie, Chan, & others that meant something true to us…

Another departure…

Another wistful teardrop
Embracing yesterday’s candid goodbye

No longer can we touch their physical soul. 

But, we
Can keep amnesia’s accented clef at bay

Holding their voice beyond new tomorrows

…

It is the triangle of life’s conundrum
When we...

He left her side
Going...   She knows not where

The last sound of footsteps
fading away


But...   He will come back

Looking through old photographs
Love letters and places

He will be back.

He will come back     to her caring arms
Her compassionate eyes
Their secret ways...

Oh! Those whom I loved and cared that left this world
  Enjoying the bliss of heaven when my heart wreaths in pain
  Free from anguish and agony and attitudes apathetic and cold
Away from burning sunlight of hatred, ruthlessness and strain

My loving parents and...

"Black Tulips for the Dear Departed"



Stumbling between the Immensities
Cobwebs like lace capture her
keep her fixed at the door waiting,
should she cross over now, or remain?
Time is evaporating, time is dissipating,
the past is holding on tight with it’s claws.
Black Tulips for the Dear Departed,
like a White...

I love you much, 
Billy Patrick, 
And I miss you so much more! 

I hope you're resting peacefully, 
I'll see you soon at Heaven’s door!

Until we reunite, my son, 
Keep an eye from above on your so
Help him along his way!

You left him way too...

I don't, and probably won't 
know the truth of her fate,
I don't know whether she left us, 
but I do remember her well.
Tall, slim, quiet and shy, 
I remember her deep orange hair,
and an awkward prettiness that grew.
But more than the sight of her,
and the...

In the blink of an eyelash, she had departed
    his moorings untethered, left brokenhearted

  Then I suppose there's no way to prepare
    to hear these four words, 'I never did care'...

Ten years passed Maa, you left this world leaving me alone
but still I feel your presence, your tender touch, quietly lying in bed, I moan.
Always you were concerned, who will take care of me in your absence
today none is there to worry for me, in...

You are gone my dear friend.
How can I say good-bye?
I never had the chance to say what I wanted to say,
We can never take walks again,
We can never talk,
I feel a part of me is ripped out, never to be seen.
Thee only things I have...

The mystery of life oft demanding
Well beyond our Earthly understanding
Camera flash like a blink of an eye
From our birth until the day that we die

Time to grieve those that leave, inadequate
Unplanned plans demand that we have to wait
Sleep, shelter, bodies cry for sustenance
Life will not...

DEARLY DEPARTED

In the depths of loneliness
Deep despair in my lonely hour
A sigh of disbelief
To be of such importance in my life and leave without a goodbye
Left seeking for the love treasured
In my darkest hour the pain measured
Sharp jabs as my heart pounds heavily
Trembling lips as...

If a dog is stopped from pooping, is he DEterred?
Has your hair all of a sudden DEparted?
Donald Duck's pay cheque was once DEducted
To get a seat at a concert, do you ever use DEceit?
Have you ever seen a tree DEbark?
If you spit out a breath...

Sunny days are past gone,
Bright and clear I'd love to see,
My happy days are worn.

Much I'd want to be done,
Nothing outdoor excites me,
Sunny days are past gone.

How I'd love to relish in the morn,
Sit and look far to the sea,
My happy days are worn.

All look...

Suddenly there was
a knock at the door...by my
departed Lenore.

I grabbed the handle—
which was hot—and decided
that I better not!

THE DEMISE OF THE DEPARTED

It matters not what lies below
It's only a body in decomposition
The marker a resting place for a crow
The body below awaits a transition
One day that body will be resurrected
Let's pray their eternity is what they expected
