For Whom The Bell Tolls

To write
like me
You must 
think like me
And see
like me
And feel
like me

To write
like me
You must 
ask not tell
For words
rung clearly
By fortunes
— bell

treatment commences
cancer eradicated
we remain hopeful

the bell’s rung three times
radiotherapy done
life begins again

live for the moment
we are never complacent
cancer may return

cherish your loved ones
embrace life, it’s all too short
cancer is a thief!

Premium Member Hellboy and For Whom the Bell Tolls

With my hands I rip off my horns
I wish to be a cambion no more
I fought the demons, dragons and behomeths
and to my favor is the score

So through the towns of hell I walk
only to find a little old mansion
I enter and there behold 
is a pyramid, sphere and cube to my passion

For whom the bell tolls,
it tolls for thee...
and whether heaven and hell exists
it's for each to do or not believe


For Whom the Bell Tolls

I stumbled across
A stumbling block
Five Stolpersteine
Where a family used to live
Surname Jaffe
Made me think about
Think about those
Those the bells didn’t toll for
Made me think
Think about them
Them the bells doesn’t toll for
Them the bells doesn’t ring for
For me
The alarm clock rings
Think about that

For Whom the Bell Tolls

FOR THE MAIDEN AT THE IN, 
OR THE BARMEN WITH A GIN?

FOR THE PANETTIERE IN THE BAKERY,
OR THE WORKER AT THE FACTORY?

FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS?

FOR HIM OR FOR HER?
FOR THE WEANING CHILD OR HIS MOTHER?
FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS?

FOR THEE, 
CHIMES THREE.

For Whom the Bell Tolls

Jim found a way to make his girlfriends sing
he buys each one a giant diamond ring,
while he's not made of money
they all call him "Sweet honey"...
but his wife just calls him "My ding-a-ling."

When Death comes knocking at your door
Rail,resist or recoil at her call
The inevitable and rarely welcome visitor
 To Her succumb must we all
To Her cold and chilling embrace
When with Her we come face to face
 Cold comfort in being clasped
To Her icy bosom at last.

Larger than life is this devil, 
No hail fellow well met
Before Her will we all shrivel
As She rolls Her dice ,Her net,
Until up comes our number
When we must succumb to Her
With Her shears She readily clips
And our life threads She swiftly snips

Sardonic yet unsatisfied with Her store
She hies off with Her earthly winnings
Insatiably in search of ever  more
Desperate to end another innings
Knowing only  full well 
That Her cup will never be at  full swell
Nor capture the essence
Of any mortal presence.

For Whom the Bell Tolls

Wendall walked a wiggly wire
Strung between two church spire,
Unfortunately for him he was undone
By an oblivious, bell-ringing nun,
Causing a result so very dire.

Ask Not For Whom the Bell Tolls

Ask not for whom the bell tolls
Said little fairy bell sitting in the meadow
Among the Prim Roses reflecting, the sun’s glow

The Cow Slips in the rain 
The Lady Smock trips on her train
Ask not for whom the bell tolls

The Snap Dragon bites, the Willow Weeps
The Baby’s tear’s, it often weeps
So ask not for whom the bell tolls

The fox has new gloves 
The mother in law a tongue, the lily is for peace,
So ask not for whom the bell tolls

The Blue bell, Cow bell the Canterbury bell
The White bell Pink and Oconee bell
Please ask not for whom the bell tolls

The Bell flower the Chilean bell
The Chinese bell and all
So when asked for whom the bells tolls
I say it tolls on all bells in the fall.

For Whom the Bell Tolls 
 “I am The Light Of The World”

early morning ringing of the bells
sound carried for miles by the breeze
into the towns and villages far away
while summoning the faithful to recite the Lord’s Prayer  

thrice- daily ringing of the church bells create a
musical joyful sound to one’s ears 
leaving a deep impression and stored
enlightenment of the presence of the Lord

Premium Member The Tsar- For Whom the Bell Tolls

The Tsar

Bronze Titan, the Leviathan
our Empress Anna's child
borne incandescent from the pit
Tsar Kolokol I'm styled.
Stand inside me, hear your voice
for thou shalt not hear mine
intended once for time of war
not praise to the Divine.
Such arrogance a curse since led
to each of us, the three
by God's command to never hang
and mark the centuries.
Both forged in fire, destroyed by fire
their fate my brothers two
their skins and souls redeemed once more
to fashion me, anew.
Unknown, too, their ignominy
was forged into this shell
and I too returned to the pit
the third dark Angel fell.
Colossi for four hundred years
exalted now I stand
for everybody knows of me
although I never rang.

For Whom the Bell Tolls

Sharpen the blade and start the fire
Set ablaze your selfish desire
Alas, I have learned of your hidden goals
It is you for whom the bell tolls

Call it hate, call it detestation
For your love is the only abomination
That burdens, tortures, and destroys my soul
It is you for whom the bell tolls

This godforsaken attempt to smash all my dreams
'Tis only a mere tip of the iceberg it seems
It is like I am stranded on a deserted atoll
It is you for whom the bell tolls

Life can never redo what has already been done
I will secure my self and I will ready my gun
If only I could run to Utopia's knoll
It is you for whom the bell tolls

Tighten the hatches and prepare to make sail
Ahead is a hurricane with a full force gale
I believe as my ship yaws, pitches, and rolls
It is me for whom the bell tolls
