Eulogy Poems

ALEXANDRIA

ALEXANDRIA 

I came late to Jesus,
Got cancer before my time,
Watched my husband die,
Found my baby drowned.

What did I do wrong?
Followed His church’s way,
Never missed a Sunday mass,
Confessed my sins religiously.

Refused to hear the call
For contraception—
That was not God’s way.
I made Him a dozen babies.

Why’d he punish me?
My faith wasn’t always strong.
Still, I never strayed,
Took communion

Hanna

HANNA

Born in a hospital
Raised with indoor plumbing,
School just up the hill.
She was a lucky one.

Dad couldn’t afford a tractor
No electricity in fifty miles
Milked cows by hand and dried the dishes
Before she can remember. Not so lucky.

She’ll never forget the day electricity came.
Can you imagine the magic—
Some nights the single bulb shined until midnight.
The sun lost

A Eulogy in Memory of My Dead Love

A Eulogy in Memory of My Dead Love

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen! My Loved Brothers and Sisters! Respected Believers!
This day, this Saturday, is very sad in the calendar. Cold, oppressive autumn day.
We may once again witness the departure of a mortal soul. This is her last journey.

Yes. Hmm. This is her last hour in our world.

UNFINISHED

It was 9/11/2001 on a still summer day with clear skies and sunny
The start of a beautiful day of goodness
No one expected that dooms day minute
Downtown New York City in the Wall Street area being attacked by two passenger Jetliners that caused the Twin Towers to be destroyed from their foundations
Workers on various floors loss

A suicide none dare declare

Shàngó!
Where are your fiery eyes,
that spit fear into burning coal,
that blaze with warmth and glow,
a conflagrator dancing with flames?

Who dares invoke your name in sin,
and not have their tongue seared?
You summon thunder as a hound to hunt,
their wealth and souls it strikes at once,
swift as lightning no man can withstand.

You are a god with no

Remembering Marvin

For my friend Marvin here is a grateful song,
Woven from the memory of shared years.
His loyalty was legend his whole life long,
And his laughter like music even provoking tears.
.
Marvin was one of extraordinary style,
And a woven tapestry of compassion.
He was a steady star all the while,
Who lead with the keenest of a champion.

May this tribute

Father

I seem to do everything wrong,
or else I just take too long.
I won't wear a dress
and my hair's always a mess.
I can't tell a joke
and yes, I still smoke.
Everything I do
is frowned on by you.
Now you've gone to heaven above;
I'll never be able to win your love.

A historic flood

A
historic flood
forgotten except in
tucked away 
newspapers
which a reader
runs across and
due to an assumed
overlay of time
apparently
avoids the freedom
arising as what
is happening~~

Einstein

Once there was a young boy
who did not learn at the same pace
who did not race in the same
predictable race – while his peers
played with fish and ball – grew,
traditional degrees from short to tall,
his world turned at a different length
rate;  more different, were his
timeless seasons – artfully Time
he took in his hands, whittled
with

HANDS OF TIME

As I close the last window and draw the blinds shut;
 The mountains once viewed and cool crisp air no longer a must.
                As I dim the lights and close my eyes to rest
      

A Man to Remember Forever

Vinod, our guide, our teller of tales, 
Whose voice was the wind that filled our sails, 
Each joke a comet we’d watch with delight, 
Returning again to grace our night. 

Before the web, before the screen’s glow, 
You held galaxies of things to know, 
A living constellation in our skies, 
Mapping the truth through knowing

Planche de Chair Cuite

She was not invited

She was arranged

They never wanted Jasmine 
not the woman who brought basil-clean hands
and pomegranate soap 
who harmonized soliloquies into pastries 
while they offered only 
hinges rusted shut

She was not guest

She was garnish

Not Jasmine the flower 
but Jasmine the bulb 
strangled in its own clay
frost biting at the marrow 
buried beneath their polite

Recycled

Born out of time, 
I felt different from mankind. 
As a child I would fly at night 
and leave the body behind.

Soaring like an eagle
I am dust upon the wing.
I am atoms in the morning air
I am part of everything 

I am deep within the soil
I am one with giant trees 
I am in between

The Eulogy 1994 to The End

I am here for a short time 
Sadly luckily my time has come. 
I am not sick or anything. 
But death is close to me all at once and suddenly. 
I felt his breath all around me
I fear I am dead; I gave up on me. 
None of you  really did believe in me
