In Ankara and Moscow, the ground is crimson red ~ a carpet spread on fields once green. Life’s fluid, like red gold, flows as scarlet runoffs into Ottoman rivers – lifestreams of Rossiyane and Turks spilled from their inner oceans. Their bones ~ lifeless as strings of dead fish, litter seas once full of life. The tears of fatherless children fill the Black Sea, their futures...

Concrete Boxed Graves Concrete boxed graves. Compressed ceilings. Surrounded by emptiness. Long hall-ways of loneliness. Caged in fear, penitentiary dreary. Isolated decayed society. Mind warped. Coldess to slumber. Psychologically insane. Tormented and left behind. Unforgiving endings. Abandoned through melancholy. Dark and eerie places. Confined through punishment. Suffocating from sin. Arkham Sanitarium. Forgotten souls. The darkest...

O’ statesman wrinkled so frail, Young child sad soul so bitter, Later a senior prom, Marriage child later on, raising a family strong. Labor force workings hours long, right to work state isn’t believing. Elderly now mind a haze, This world system in a blaze. Rooted in flesh buried there! Graves not receiving my spirit. James Edward Lee Sr. a BARD POEM 8/20/24 Written words...

Lonely graves One day The Lord looked down from heaven And saw all the graves without flowers Those with no visitors to mourn He cried These are my children The one who begged on a street corner The one who spoke to herself Because no one wanted to hear her voice These are my beloved children The one who walks the street to find love The one...

if the rain were to fall and the sky were to bubble in clouds would you return to me would you clean the wounds of my life and sacrifice some of your soul for my own what is it in this world that hardens our hearts and strangles love we have died every day among the beauty yet, we are drawn...

Shallow Graves Miracle Man 2/4/2024 Memories, we inter in a shallow grave, are the one’s we’re better off forgetting. Perhaps we were wronged and never forgave, and time’s lateness now finds us regretting. “Peace of mind catnaps on a bed of feathers, while anxiety lies tense on ticking filled with straw.” Tom ...

No mechanical diggers digging Standard oblong shaped holes The only effort needed being To manipulate the controls. We dug our graves by hand And the sweat of our brow A craft that seems outdated And no longer any use now. Each grave was dug to An Individual coffin’s shape With an allowance made for The handles and the rope No deviation of the sides by Even the...

“I Tried My Best” At your request I tried my best To pen a poem. I tried to write. A happy poem Full of hope, trust, and tranquility, But Anger came knocking, Came knocking at my door. Let me in he cried. Please let me in! I beg of you. This winter storm is harsh, I’m afraid I’ll die. Please let me in! Am I a fool to...

O how have I suffered such great graves! I have been pierced by the swords of my kings Injected with the liquid of their corruptions They have rescinded my harmonious names They have plucked away my treasures, With every good of mine Possessed unto themselves as stern, And given them to foreign sons. For self-benefits they have sold me to them, And these Whitefaces...

I visit them in silent repose, their memories float on whispered breath. Bringing the delight of days now gone, I do not feel the sorrow of death. Here I can still see his loving smile, feel his spirit fill my heart again. I see his eyes dance as laughter spills, and tobacco stains his grizzled chin. I’m with him once more in...

At a distance of two graves angels do not have wings on their backs their unrest stirs up the earth somehow a sunrise is brought closer for the eternally asleep. At a distance of two graves a bunch of discarded wings today what nobody needs anymore, I burn in voices that extinguish and collect the sky of ashes of the grass water fingers nobody makes the cross sign everyone...
