Condolences Poems

Premium MemberSympathies

Forget about it
Don’t think about it
It’s not important 
Put it out of your mind

Things I have been told

Advice for the lovelorn
The bereaved
The broken hearted
The lonely

Your love has gone away forever
They have left you behind
They have stopped you in your tracks 

Well meaning friends
Want you to forget them
Get on with your life

But the hole in your

Sincere Condolences

Thank you for the card
Your letters are stunning
The door open just a crack
But we know you don’t look back

A question or a ruse
Ready to leave another bruise
I duck and weave against the air
But again you are not there

So I walk over the words
Try to find something unheard
Until I find our familiar pattern
How did I let

Irish Condolences

On faltering the ill
tempered surrender
the speechless ignorance
of their fathers
Challenge never knew
of their presence
Accountants of pressure
frequent one another
Rarely daring to take part
in the discussion.

guide your thoughts toward supernal things.
Laborious to catch your breath,

Condolences

For my friend, the year ends on a black note 
Cause he's lost a father he looked up to
And now he goes into the new year in a new note
A strange tone cause he's not used to 

It will take time before we all come to terms
At just how much this death means to us
I

Just Like Always

Just like always

Smart people wouldn't trod on the paths she had trodden;
Wise people wouldn't be in the predicaments she always found herself in.

She offers no words of condolences;
Neither any words of repentance;
Not even a word of remorse.
Why would she feel apologetic to anyone;
When the gravest sins she committed to herself?
Why does she live so foolishly?
How

Deepest condolences for your recent loss
I understand how your sadness feels,
For I, too, have borne that bitter cross
And long for the time when memory heals
When peace returns what eternity steals.

The missus shrieked
with horror watching
and hearing in
disbelief and shock
catastrophe costing
three precious lives,
Macbook Pro laptop
wallpaper agonizing reminder

(though poem previously written
subsequently mailed to
immediate family relations),
I still feel numb
(albeit NOT comfortably)
reconciling inexplicable reality
with recollection to distill

Condolences Forever Invoked - 9/11/2001

(I sit corrected for typing year 201, when most of America untrammeled by hordes of humanity, and probably far more similar to the garden of Eden, which approximate space/time continuum disparity only about twenty centuries ago, a place unimaginably wine ding with saltine, pristine Ovaltine, NON GMO gluten and monosodiumglutimate free

Condolences Forever Invoked - 9/11/2001

Many unsuspecting innocent lives
     unwittingly found themselves
     at ground zero
     with absolutely no time
     to bid loved ones adieu,
and thus with
     a metaphorically clangorous
     (aire splitting din
