Moon blooms like petals through a bulb,
The skies within her break as glass.
Most times she holds cup partway dark —
Moon blooms like petals through a bulb,
Only close, and open ~then some~ —
The shadow of her going as
Moon blooms like petals through a bulb
The skies within her break as glass.

when i was a kid i used to draw a blue line near the top of the paper
that was supposed to be the sky
it started off being thicker in some places than in others
but as the time passed i started to add clouds
and draw inside the lines
the older i got,
the more realistic the sky became
then i started adding rainbows when i heard about heaven
i wanted to make it pretty and happy for all those who have died
specially those who died alone
and those who died without love
i haven’t drawn the sky in a while
i no longer can,
not now that i have people who i’ve lost
i wouldn’t know how to make it pretty enough

Moving on, but I can not
I can't help looking back
Retrospectively Oscillations
Nostalgic past reflections
Creating a sweet sour affections
Longings on empty mosaics
With indescribable scenarios
Lost in a mental haze of illusion
Nostalgia on past reflections
Bubble gum and candy wraps
Long forgotten comes to fore
Childhood memories loading
I am lost in a daze of plays flooring
Hide and seek; bang, bang you are
dead
Such nonsense they seem now
But then a real deal by your homies
Nostalgic indulgence of the past a
reflections
Childhood memories at a glimpse
Pranks on the run a cul-de-sac
Summer rains in winter, autumn is
bemused
Spring cannot spare it's blushes
A reflection from the blues
Moving on, but I cannot
Like a blast from the far past
Faces long gone stare at me
Seem so real, scenes of yesteryears
I have to move on from the the
captivity of the past.
The arms of the future awaits me
Lovingly trusting in it's trusts

The world might end tomorrow
But today I am still the man
The seconds keep ticking down
But for now I am at peace with God
And long enough it will not matter
But till then, death means much
For you it didn't matter till you were born
For me, I am furious I was not an abortion
Anyway moving on swiftly
I don't want to stay this way
So when the world ends tomorrow
And death calls my name
I will have died without a fight

You’re in your spot again tonight. Although I can’t see you I know you’re there. A cold spot existing near naked firelight, I suppose it’d matter if I actually cared.
Perhaps you blame me for being born. Perhaps I could be wrong. But either way if the intention is to fright you’ll be hanging around so very long!
I’d encourage you to move into the light. Don’t wait until I’m done. There must be something better on the other side, find peace and move along.
But, I see you in your spot again tonight! I suppose I should have known. But know that even when I die, you’ll be standing there alone.

How do you move on?
When you’ve lost your entire universe
In the blink of an eye they’re now gone
When all that is left is painful memories
How do you continue?
When your mind starts to fill with regret
And all you can think about is those last words you never ment
When you wish you could just take it all back
How do you stop the haunting of the past?
How do you wake up every morning to live another day?
When all you want to do is tell them I love you
And everyday feels dark, cold, and grey
Knowing you can’t remove all the hate
How do I move on?

There were so many present today,
To pay their respects and
To bid you their final farewells.
Some expressed grief at your sudden absence,
Some took a fond walk down the memory lane.
Some left early having fulfilled their societal responsibility,
Some sat in silence, unable to articulate their many thoughts.
What about me, you ask?
I wondered.
I wondered what will it be like?
When I run out of the last of your favourite biscuits.
Or when the bedroom stops smelling of your aftershave.
When your loyal labrador is too old to go for a walk,
And when the flowers stop piling at your grave.
When the oak tree in the backyard withers,
And when they stop selling your treasured cigarettes.
What if our trusted tea shop around the corner closes down?
And all your shirt buttons start coming undone one by one.
I wondered.
I wondered what will it be like?
When everyone stops grieving,
When everyone moves on.
What will it be like?
When I lose you in the truest sense,
And I finally grieve in a world happy without you.

She keeps moth wings in jars,
fragile things pressed against glass
like broken promises.
She says they’re beautiful,
even in their ruin.
I ask her why she collects
what’s already dead,
and she just shrugs,
says it’s not about life—
it’s about remembering
what it felt like to fly.

beautiful, death, emotions, flying,
God below us now
With each as all there is
And miracle, a sudden word,
Flooding thoughts
We cannot faster spill,
Until a fear of drowning
In the merging all could be;
Til we become as one;
One and done and free.
While none can say the name
Of two or twenty, not of fame
The greatest gift is love bestowed
To those whose candle bears no flame.
Only life is immortal,
Dancing once with each of us
Then moving on;
Leaving us to grieve
For all that’s gone.

Cry no more, dear mockingbird
Please cry no more for me
For I must leave you, dear mockingbird
And briskly take my leave
I know you will miss me, dear mockingbird
And I will miss you too
But shed no tears, dear mockingbird
For I have a home beside you.

cheer up, cry, death,
Bound to reach a close, everything goes as thus
Your farewell etched like a scar
Whispers in the dark, so it flows
Echoes in my mind as I still drift afar
Contemplating lies, contending excuses
Darkness looms as the harbinger gazes upon
Who refuses to take refuge from impending danger
One man's hero, the grief of another
Tormented by your graceful smile
My memories play a frightening illusion
No tears left to run its mile
Endless void only to be filled by your absence
Contending excuses, contemplating lies once more
Blinking back tears as I bask in your embrace
Your sweet words like music to thy ears
Shrouded by darkness no more, surrounded by your reassuring light
Your letters revealed thus to me
One man's hero, the loving mother of another
Warmth of resonance filling me
Dabbing gently my sobs goodbye
The pride of having you takes place
Your farewell, I see a new horizon
A calm push to transform to a new me
As a step into a new chapter of life
One that will forever be proud of your legacy

“Our little precious sugar plum,
What has got him feeling glum?
What has got our boy so sad?
What has got him feeling bad?”
No they don’t understand
They don’t
Why?
Why can I not smile?
Why does every single thing
Just add on to the pile?
Well I don’t really know
I guess it’s cause you’re gone
You moved out of my life
And now I’m moving on
Hey
How are you up there?
Hey
It’s really not fair
There’s nothing I can do
I know that much is true
But why’d you have to fly?
Not even say goodbye?
Hey
I don’t know what to do
Hey
I can’t remember you
Impressions of a face
An aching empty space
I don’t care why or how
I need to see you now
And say
I’m sorry
And say
I’m sorry
Now nothing seems so real
And I don’t know how to feel
But I wish that you stayed
All the times we could have made
The past has dulled and drained of life
Nostalgia cuts me like a knife
The sharp sting of regret
And a wish to just forget
Yet I keep on holding tight
Cause I just cannot say goodnight
I really wish that you were here
But then you had to disappear
Hey
I’m really not okay
Hey
Why did you go away
Goodbye
My little butterfly

This is the saddest day of my life,
But the day dosen't know that, the sky is so blue and the sunshine so bright.
No one looks and nobody cares as I stumble my way through the hours,
Everything just continuously drags,
I don't eat I don't drink I am just here.
I fear the coming night and the dreams it will hold,
But it's so far away as the time drags slowly on and on.
Eventually the light begins to fade, I know the time is near to the dark horrors that await,
I realise all of this as I am jolted by the twilight.

She boards with a push, the wind moss and rose.
She doesn’t slow down and she doesn't explain.
She keeps moving on because regret is her name.
She is never alone, her bags packed tight, weighed down and heavy.
They all come aboard carrying her name, the ticket for one and one in the same, with all the stories of those whom she brang.
The world is flashing with the past in her eyes but you will not see the hurt inside.
Earth and ash, sun and moon.
The passengers they travel, together they stand.
A glance, his face is familiar, he closes his eyes.
Her scent, only a memory.
The view is flashing with the past in his eyes.
They all come aboard carrying his name, the ticket for one and one in the same, with all the stories of those whom he brang.

death, love, memory,
when mortal coil doth — dearest tomb keeper,
shroud the vibrant hue — of the dark and cold.
of life's brief candle — grant me one more kiss,
and the darkness creeps — my last farewell told.
through ebony's cold — revive my red lips,
and lonely shadow true — now grown pallid pale,
i search for the sweet — and in thine lit eyes,
guidance in dead's deeps — final breath i hail
lo, the void's abyss — thy lips, a blue rose
doth stare at me cold — winter's icy grasp.
Death—Life
Love
Forbidden
Laid to Rest
