No one is smiling today
As the coffin takes my son away
Grief-stricken, we stand and stare
With a hole in our hearts
That death leaves there

As we stare without seeing
Realising death comes to all human beings
God takes us in his time
The next funeral...

Part 1

Let there be no memories of you
Even the ones that are almost new
They remind me false promises and lies
Trust is now over with tears in my eyes
I give up on you and let myself free
Never thought this could happen to me
Goodbye didn't come easy...

A
Year set stained by grief from invisible foe,
Enraged in anxiety’s malicious chains.
Accosting not only a nation but world,
Reaching the farthest, secluded parts,
Devilishly leaving no stone unturned.
Withholding grandpa from grandson,
Idly stripping people’s livelihoods,
Needlessly voiding human liberties,
Disabling dictators from their seats.
Looking now,
I see chains now fastened to...

L-et it all hang out, 
O-ne chance to be sincere; 
L-et the false happiness turn
I-nto a real drop of
T-ear.

R-eveal your true feelings, 
O-ne opportunity to be honest; 
D-ay thirty in sunny May, 
R-esolve the emotional test.
I-nside and out say it clear, 
G-rief and sadness you...

Hear sad whispers from the valley,
Their mournful song surround, 
Lone lily lost its luck lately, 
For grief, its petals bound. 

Feel your false fear following you, 
Cautious words genuine, 
A black dahlias danger rings true,
Heed these words or your ruin. 

Taste of madness wrath invoke,
Things...

Grief fills my days with forever loss,
Red roses withered on cold stones:
In my head, I see the creeping green moss,
Embracing the names engraved.  And the moaning bones;
Fear encompasses me.  For I am frightened of the deathly groans....

Another loved one has too soon been taken from me.
Bereaved, now I sorrowfully speak in subdued soliloquy
Consoling myself with solemn prayers, I try not to weep.
Divine God, please hear my humble voice before I sleep.
Each life of family and friend ended with one last breath.
Fate's...

C-annot choose but be happy, 
A-s I see the joyful tears; 
R-ise of the beacon begins, 
L-ight above the horizon 
A-ppears. 

G-rief has just hidden 
U-nder the dark oblivion; 
A-mount of mirth has given 
N-othing but jubilation. 
Z-one of the new dawn 
O-bliterates the agony;...
