Best Mourn Poems


No Longer Mourn For Me When I Am Dead
If Death should call, let me go free;
it is only Heaven beckons me.
If I should step beyond the veil
of sight and sound and voice, all is well;
I shall be glad to place my head
beneath the sod with other dead.
My spirit will not linger there
but float...

Mourn For the Little Babies
For the little babies mourn
For the babies that are yet to be born
They are only fetusus many scorn 
And mercilessly from their mothers womb torn

From every corner hear cries for human right
Yet ears are deafened to the unborns plight
Never to be heard their sqeals of...

Do Not My Youthful Life Now Mourn

Do not my youthful life now mourn
My lot was set day I was born
I grew to be a healthy lad
This evil world turned my soul bad
Life's prison I walked alone
My blood dark red, my heart...

Premium Member Eternally Mourn
Reflecting on years gone by
Hefty sorrow anchors my soul
Each time one of you left
My heart was left less whole

The world turns and times they change
I am living my new norm
I try to live my best life
Though for you I eternally mourn 

My focus is right...

Each delicious breath,
Every cooling drink.
I salute your passing.

Temperatures we enjoyed,
your breezes stroked my skin,
sunlight played softly,
green fields waved salutations.
I recognize your demise.

Unfiltered sunlight on my face,
the electric drone of insects,
the melodious aviary song,
the dance of sea lions,
the taste of spring water,
Gone in a generation.

The doe...

Permission To Mourn
It is okay to mourn
the rapid speed by which this treacherous virus
caught us off guard
Now we cope, we survive, some better than others 
And for so many, too many
the dignity of dying has been denied
After a life long-lived, you were left to meet the great...

Premium Member Mourn Tapestry
The icons are falling
As idols are rising
Perhaps for their gifts
Being spared coming rifts

For the poets we grieve
Are of this fabric's weave
They are this tapestry
The fibre of our society

And they have marked us so indelibly...

How long should we mourn when our loved ones die?
You might move on right away or forever pose and try.
Some will weep in silence, and from some we’ll hear screams.
I hope you’re the one who gets visits in your dreams.

There is no right or wrong,...

Do Not Mourn For Me
Death is but a change.
Nothing truly dies, it only takes on a new form.
Everything that was created in the beginning
Is a total of all that was and ever will be.
There can never be more or less.
Evolution at it's best.
My soul, lay in wait in euphoria...

Do Not Mourn the Stars
time is of no consequence
life will carry out its eternal sentence

blow by blow we return vertical
nothing remains but the eternal

do not mourn the stars, as they move us
the curse of time is all but a fuss

when stars die, they drown the light
no control, no matter...

There is no need to mourn, for he will go
to where no thunder quakes, no harsh winds blow.
He's going to the light where he will find
the ones who wait, the ones who are enshrined
within his heart, his kin of long ago.

He leaves this earth and...

Don'T Mourn For Me
Don’t Mourn for Me

When I am gone, don’t mourn for me,
Just look around, I’m in everything you see.
I’ll be in the dew that comes during the night,
You’ll find me in each snow flake that comes with the light.

You know me, for I’ll be heaven bound,
But...

Do Not Mourn For Me
Do not mourn for me

Raise the flags full mast
With some knickers tied below
And would that someone laughed
A seed of hope I'd sow

A seed of hope which grows within
one day bears fruit enough to fill
A broken heart that's suffering
And drive away the chill

Do not mourn for...
