Grief Diminished Hexaverse Poems

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...

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...

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...

“I Am here, within, as voice of conscience 
Listen with pure intent, in innocence”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ego is the veil
Shrouding us in gloom
Why then trauma bond
Drop this bag...

Inevitable
Is pain that does stain
Bubbling joyfulness
Cessation reclaims
Bliss in innocence 

Recognition 
Earth life transience
Our stagnation
Ego parlance 

This moment
Here and now
Fulfilment 

Be still 
At peace

Now

Politics season
Sans rhyme and reason
Never-ending blitz
Constant News Network
Won’t give it a rest

Traffic today
Bumper stickers’
Noted absence
Relief, not grief

Excitement 
Is absent
Root against

Trump chump
Hill pill

Lose.

Upon thy pillow,
I wearily hope
for youth’s restful nights 
I once loved to spend 
in towering dreams.

Images past
behind closed eyes -
romantic plans
and lofty goals.

Naïve thoughts

Drought dry walk for life
Mother stumbles weak
Babe clutched close at heart
Unrevivable
Life taken today

Family walks
Survival now
No grief today
Must find some food

Infant weak
Medical
Care needed

Dry wind
Grim hope
Death!!

Through the sky's sharp edge
A mystery springs,
As birds aim their preys.
Misty tombs of rock,
Spilling grief like wine.

Exit from time,
A lapse of blow.
A trip to find

The snow becomes slush
its whiteness is gone,
it turns into rain
as people in grief.

Passing sails glide
like gondolas
in old Venice,
no lover sings.

Can sunset
bring surprise,
happiness...
with real hope?

Gladness
isn't found
here....
