Death Diminished Hexaverse Poems

On strong wings, I soar
Far away from home
Out of human reach
Free from nagging pain
Beyond the oceans

Am now with stars
Floating in air
Like an  angel
Watch over...

Something unique to
the United States,
young children aren't safe
inside school classrooms.

Innocence is
being slaughtered,
by mass shooters
brandishing guns.

And moms cry,
pleading for
gun control

laws that
never

pass.

You forgot my day,
My sad~sad birthday,
No card~gift or call,
I waited all day,
Ended without you.  


Your words are mean,
Your lies are told,
Breaking my heart,
Your mouth...

The end has now come
Once lucid eyes dulled
Shallow breaths begin
Food and drink have ceased  
Sleep is now constant

Bowels shut down
Pulse becomes faint

Bluish-hued skin
Grimace of...

If immortal I
would be in this world
my soul would be vexed
forever struggling
against transgressions...

Immortal I
will be midst love
grace, peace and joy
by faith in Christ...

Immortal*
as promised
in heaven...

thanking...

God.

life's a vehicle 
on jagged highway.
we're all passengers;
some folks ride shotgun, 
and some in the back.

destinations,
dreams; all vary.
some do reach theirs,
some end up lost...

Death knock unwelcome
Ego unprepared
Clinging to false hope
Till the very end
Life replay regret

Heartbeat soon stops
The veil lifted
What lies beyond
Same as within 

The mind games
Continue
Desires spew

Replay
The same

Phew

Your brown eyes compel
Bring out this desire
Wishing to hide in
Your lapel, maybe  
Upon a high wire
  
You touch the bell
Sparks will fly high

Freshly disturbed soil
Dress shoes and the grass
Folding chairs in rows
Underneath a tent
Or out in the sun

Family, Friends
And Acquaintances
The Director
A Clergyman

Prayers and Hymns
Tears Falling
Last Goodbyes

You're Gone
I'm...

The odd way you looked 
At me when I booked 
Our honeymoon flight 
I expected tears
Joyous ecstasy. 

Then, I first knew ... 
Did not know...

“Mind the Frankenstein, which we have raised
Free in inner silence; lord be praised”

The rise of desire
Thirst insatiable 
Seeking fulfilment 
Death the quietus
Until our rebirth

“Life by inhalation
Death in exhalation 
The now, celebration”

We read the scriptures
A hypothesis
How may we explore
Depth of consciousness 
Save through sentience 

For alignment
Of thought, word, deed
With...

Ego agenda
Narrow and futile
Yet in delusion
We are bound therein
Tragicomic life

The wheel of time
Slowly rotates
Joy and sorrow
Cyclically

As a leaf
Blown away
Until death

This life
Wasted 

Gone

Death knocks on our door
A mere courtesy
Needs no permission
Offers no reprieve
Nor grants extension

Quaking in fear
Feeling helpless
We pause the cause
Of contraction

No regrets
No goodbyes
We move on

Light smile
Detached

Void

Thank you to all the
colors of autumn
signaling change (and
both death and rebirth 
at the same time) for

reminding me
that endings are 
as beautiful 
as beginnings

and that...
