Best In Memory Of Poems
In Memory of My Mother
The gate of heaven opens wide
as angels on either side guide
her through, while we all mourn and cry.
Praising, she sits by our Lord's side.

Remission (In Memory of William Watt).Birth begins the tragedy in us. Life's
First sound is a blank scream
Against sorrow's hidden portends of strifes
All we know are mirages and dream.
Mother took the news staring at the sky
She must have cried inside
For I have no evidence else. There's no why
For it ... how...

In Memory of Milt - By Jenna LoganJenna no longer has access to her account, and she has asked if I would post this for her.

In Memory of Backyards
Back then,
backyards were big enough
to nurture a growing soul
and provide a space
for the earth to play out
its seasons in full rehearsal.
There were wide tracks
of grass, trees to climb,
old sheds to rummage
with their interiors full of tools
and bric-a-brac
webbed in history.
There was food...

In Memory of Chan Hurst-The Archaic Poet
Brother,you were a human torch
in a melanchonic orbit
of undefined wars
Now you are a pentagram star
mystical and magical
Pouring light and love
from a happier place
from behind heaven doors
Not so distant though worlds afar.
Through each verse and every stanza
you are.
Like Tolkien,your middle earth
was always the unknown,
Your...

In Memory of Tesslynn O'CullTesslynn O’Cull was only 3-years-old,
when they found her body in a grave near Sweet Home.
It was the worst case of child abuse they’d ever seen
thanks to Jesse Compton and methamphetamine.
This beautiful child was tortured to death,
and I vowed that until my very last breath,
I would...

In Memory of Paris the 13thBattle Clans
They came in the night
Like twisted ninja’s
Selling their honor for terror and fright
Blood spilled on Mohamed’s hands
The Tower of Paris stands tall
Art and culture they shall never fall
They wounded the bodies
They murdered the babies
The symphonies of horrors in the key of D
Replaced by waltzes...

In Memory of Ancestors, Family and FriendsYou never write.
You never phone.
And there are strangers
Living in your home.
Where are you Loves?
You’ve disappeared----
Then come unannounced,
Dressed in memory,
And I, clothed in tears.
Immense Light
too huge to hold
Where I wait
Each day, blessed time grows old.
Without end
Flame cradles
All, I see
Add my Loves’
Beginnings and Forever
Be…...

Content of Character - In Memory of Dr Martin Luther King JrWhy can’t we be judged by the content of our character?
Are we now racist, because of white privilege and black lives matter?
This is our new wall, racism is still dividing,
these two profound statements are creating bitter chatter.
Dr. King lost his life because of his dream...

In Memory of Emmett TillMy mind cannot erase the memory of Emmett Till
I often dream about his badly-mutilated body –
The fourteen-year-old Black lad mercilessly beaten
To death … for ostensibly flirting with a white woman.
A victim of the era in which he lived, he was lynched,
But the men who killed...

In Memory of My DadIt’s already been three years now since you passed away,
Yet, those mem’ries of you are alive, in my heart you’ll forever stay;
Every time I think of you, I smile with pain,
And wish that I can see and hug you once again.
My childhood years with you...

In Memory of YouI didn't have a chance to say goodbye,
to let you know how dear you are to me
and though my chance is gone, I still will try
the sadness that I feel won't let me be
You were a gentleman and caring friend
the words you wrote brought joy...
