The Departing of the Heart

The Departing of The Heart 

Salutations for the sound of mind and poverty of heart 
Reparations that don’t come through in time to rectify the start 
Commiserations for the ones who find it hardest to eventually part 
Palpitations of another heart that cannot perceive the concept that it must depart 

Military consequences that send the

An Interview With A Departing Member

Me: So I guess the glove didn't fit here at PS
DM: It did. But I was tired of wearing mittens
DM: I need to stretch my hands to a bigger venue
DM: Leather would be nice
Me: Well, in all honesty, you sound like me
Me: Did the anonymity, darkness, and lack of views

Her departing words

As she awaited for her head to pass through the guillotine, She said to the young girl who was standing in front of her
Who was shivering from fright as death approached her,
"I've journeyed the far east of the oceans
The vast lands of the meadows
The internal structures of the earth
Where I've been bound to the shackles

Premium MemberDeparting From the Anchor

On the dock, we took a step into the storm
When wood glades are full of colorful forms,

We were both awed and warm as we spoke
Many of us believe life is a joke

The winter sun sparkled as it set west
Kissing my crying child, I hold it to my breast

We fantasized over a world without ailments
After an

Premium MemberDeparting Autumn

As the flotilla of climbing clouds calmly drifts in the sky  
The beguiled birds bathe in the glimmer of the blue bay 
While autumn departs with crystal ambiance on the sly.
 
The transparent edge of halcyon horizon bids good bye 
Splits the spreading sunbeam in spectrum of hued ray 
As the flotilla of climbing

Premium MemberDearly Departing Christians

Many of you live
humbly and heartily
patriotically and industriously
nutritiously and faithfully
in Western and Southern States,

United in this time of shrinking reservoirs,
dying rivers,
hurricaned coastal residents

Displaced by floods,
invasive mold,
voracious rot and rats,

Barren top soil,
failing electrical networks,
drought,
inhumane heat,
decimated forests

Bereft of soil-restoring permaculture,
robust polycultural nutrition systems,
victory community re-engagement gardens.

U.S. long-term resilient infrastructure
to support your children
and grandchildren,
is so threatened by North

Damona Departing For Now

remembering damona
she went behind the pine trees
confused, i followed with respectful distance
somewhere between the middle and the end, i see damona laying there
looking up at me, with a loving snort and a weak wink, she says goodbye
you have seen a lot and have experienced a lot of emotions in your 22 years
God Knows, and He

Premium MemberThe Port

The sea stops here
But waves splash hard against the jetty
Seagulls lingering
Before flying away
Ships docking at one moment
And departing at another
Shedding cargoes and loading again
Sea breeze blows in
And land breeze blows out
Departing passengers shedding tears
But arriving passengers wear a sweet smile
We never understand the feeling of a port
Nor do we understand a mother's feeling of
Letting her

Premium MemberDeparting Words

You have nothing to forgive, you have nothing to forget.
You have nothing to re live, you have nothing to regret.
You have nothing to be afraid of, you have nothing but my respect.
You have nothing ever again to ever worry about, because you are dead.

Departing 2020

"Threat" is the word that made mothers worry about their child.
Disposable face masks have been our weapon to combat.
The whole quarantine thing tolerates people to be wild.
I got crazy for months at home; I was never like that.

It took several sips of coffee for Dad to realize.
That this year has crippled his pocket yet he

Departing

Weaving I'm embroidered quilt on sky roof
Flamingo dancing with rapturous rains
Wild ink replacing the dove quills with proof
For your one night standing in the dream train

Lamppost of the dark streets drinking cool beer
Wayward dogs child supporting alone life
Searching for your scent I lost own manner
Where cheap whore pouring in heart glass a strife

On the boastful

Premium MemberNow Departing, Soon Arriving

Winter's arrival signals my departure
  hidden by soft snow in the ground  
When Spring returns, I emerge from hard mud
  on sidewalks and in plush flowerbeds

I'd love to warm myself, to lay in the sun
  but I'm on the look-out twenty-four/seven
for a worm's sworn enemy, the dreaded bird
  Discretion, please:

The blast of his words unexpected.
The spoil underneath t’was suspected.
“I can’t ring the bell.
I’m buried in hell.”
The bones of the tape were projected.
