Premium MemberHouse of Khloe ll

This is "House of Khloe" part two
Grand mama has long gone home
Free from disease and pains
Lo, at last our mama has joined Grand ma
In the heavenly assembly
What a sight what a glory that would have been 
 
Grand mama with her adage and admonition
And mama with her melodious voice
Joining the heavenly choir, laying down crowns
And raising the royal diadem in joyous celebration

We the house of Khloe are not mourning again
We also join the host of the heavenly choir
From earth we lay down the crowns as we bow in worship


Premium MemberFeeling Lost

We feel lost here,

It’s been a year

Since my biggest fan has departed

Leaving all of us disheartened.

Some days are good, some are hard;

Your leaving left us scarred.

So many mixed emotions

Our lives turn in chaotic motions.

I know exactly where you are,

Yet you still feel very far.

I know we’ll be reunited

And the thought leaves me excited.

But we are no less lonely,

And the days still pass slowly.

We love and miss you, Katie.

Premium MemberA provincial in death, a nobody in life

Life leads me in mourning on an anniversary day,
Among a bleak backdrop of ice and emptiness,
Pure indifference in my troubled heart,
I am sent from death in a new adventure.

Sent to separation in a small vessel
Through a stream of blood, numbed by cold,
I step into the new world in a stained robe
Carrying an old sin that others have committed.

An anonymous player on an imperfect stage,
With a disheveled appearance, a beret on my head,
I am thrust from death into stylish diapers,
Among void beings, I feel out of place.

I am the outcast of death in a frosty exile,
On a deserted island with a hint of infinity,
Beside humanity, an ocean of nothing,
A provincial in death, a nobody in life.

Premium MemberThe Day of Infamy

A beautiful sunny day,
In the land of paradise.
Thunder rings in the distance as my,
Pulse quickens, and dread takes over.
There are no clouds in the skies,
I sense the devil is approaching.
Looking down from the mountain of heaven,
I see the hellfire from the,
Circle of blood from the devil.
The fire and blood falling from the sky,
As they hit the grey ladies when they sink.
Within a flash, I see thousands of bodies,
Flying, bleeding, and dying defenseless,
Against the devil,
The devil who flies in the sky, with the circle of blood.
This one act of cowardice will fuel the anger of,
The nation, which will ultimately lead to war.
This will be known as the Day of Infamy.
It is a day that America will never forget.

Premium MemberDeath Be Not My Prison Made

We exist in ourselves with multiple connections 
We earthly move as, I, me, mine/ fictional 
pretenses all together as a trio of one. 
We enliven our ancestors in every 
aspect of past life overtures.
In physical death we are surrounded 
by/with every eternal loved one, as they
patiently wait in their spiritual wings, eagerly 
awaiting to celebrate our ethereal homecoming.

Premium MemberDad Died During His Dream

Dad died during his dream. A dream of delaying his 

death, destroying the cancer and deterring  his doom. 

His date with destiny deployed and determined. The 

doctors did there darnest to defibrillate him. He died 

determined on the table as his heart defeated him and 

his family. The doctors delivered the deflating news 

after the surgery dissipated. Where on this December 

day the weather turned distant and dark. Every 

December passing since, there's a drizzle of 

dreariness. Decades later the dragonslayer still drags 

on disreputable, dwelling in my mind.

Premium MemberMissing You, Mama

My heart was seized by grief; for days, the tears would flow.
No blow could be more shocking. My sweet Mama died
On Labor Day, September 5, two thousand five.
Precious memories of her deep love bring me a smile~~
This Labor Day, September 5 of twenty-two.

Premium MemberThe Prophet Lives On

Fifth June 2021 you passed on to glory
Seven days to your 58th birthday 
Today as the world celebrates 
Your 59th posthumous birthday 
Your legacy of love lives on
Your legacy of charity lives on
Your legacy of forgiveness lives on
One life for Christ was all you had
One life for Christ was so dear to you
He was your strength 
He was your joy
He was your all
Without Him you would have fallen 
Prophet TB Joshua happy birthday!

Premium MemberMagnum Opus

May my greatest feat,
My magnum opus be:
That I loved whole heartedly
And extraordinarily!
May those who knew me,
Know I loved thee best.

Premium MemberThe Ss Edmond Fitzgerald

In memory of the SS Edmond Fitzgerald
November 10, 1975
Seventeen miles Northwest of Whitefish Point, Michigan
Lake Superior

Twenty-nine crew men are cradled
in a watery grave
no distress calls were ever heard
no bodies ever recovered
the gales of November turned fierce
as the 729 foot ore carrier 
plummeted to her final resting place
530 feet below
Lake Superior holds too many secrets
and leaves to many mysteries
It's unforgiving of sailors, yet 
catches every tear from the families and friends
of the SS Edmond Fitzgerald

Premium MemberApproaching Anniversary of Losing My Wife

Three long years since my love has gone away And I have settled into a life of lonely self-ease, Seeing no regrets or sorrows I need to appease Still sometimes I think I live in perpetual disarray. If morning should portend a dark and gloomy day My personal freedom ensued from a dread disease That took my loved one away like a chilly breeze, Leaving me alone and bewildered in fogs of gray. So, this quandary lingers in my oft-grieving mind How to move my life into exciting new adventures Without feeling guilty that my love is left behind, That she is no longer able to grace my ventures Which will not prevent me keeping her enshrined And honoring her among my cherished treasures.

From high a silent body fell,
     another...then...another.
Someone's father...someone's
mother...husband...grandpa...
     sister...brother.

They fell into the clouds
     that day
caught by angels on 
     their way.
Can our tears be also
     caught
to cement love what hate
     has wrought?

A cloud of dust, and they
     were gone.
A summer's day, a bitter
     song.
We became those who
     were lost,
brothers, sisters, differences
     tossed.

Now, twenty years along
     the road,
both good and bad have
     been bestowed.
We've learned some things
     from that sad day
we can find each other
     but a smile away.
