In Memory Poems - Poems about In Memory

To the White Rose of Germany , In memory of Sophie Scholl and the White Rose resistance group

In halls where silence cloaked the dread,
You raised a voice, though fear had spread.
With leaflets fluttering like doves in flight,
You lit a candle in the night.

Not with guns, nor iron might,
But truth and courage, fierce and bright.
A rose in winter, pure and still,
Defying hate with steadfast will.

Your words, like whispers through the air,
Asked hearts to

Still in Memory

As fate will play its role 
And legend will tell
For super stardom and limelight
The greatest have fell
The Silver Screen, fortune and fame
Rock-n-roll will never die

From Janis to Jim
Bonham to Bon
They given us so much
Elvis to Lennon
Jimmi and Randy
They had the touch

Let's not forget 
Stevie and Kurt
Take a walk down that well beaten path
You're all still

The Ballad of the Forbidden Flame - In memory of Oscar Wild

He wore no mask of murder’s face,
No blade was in his hand,
But still they called his love a crime,
And could not understand.
He kissed a boy with poet’s grace,
The courts replied: “He’s banned.”

They cast him in a narrow cell,
Where joy must learn to die.
He’d loved too much, and not too safe:
Too deep, too true, too high.
And

In memory of Gizmo guinea pig

You flew beside me, small and brave,
From west coast skies to the ocean wave.
Tucked in close, not a sound you made,
Just calm little heartbeats, never afraid.

I gave you a friend, a buddy to share,
Skipperely wheeked, and you both were a pair.
In cozy corners, you’d nuzzle tight,
Two little souls curled safe each night.

But illness came like

In Memory Of

So many friends came to say goodbye
Remember the good times, not going to cry
You were such a part of everyone you knew
A special someone for everything that makes up you
Hard to accept that you are no longer here
Keep waiting for the moment when you reappear
It really hit me, hearing the songs you wrote
Nobody else could

In Memory Of My Lost Loved Ones

Standing here by the shore
Far beyond my long gaze
I see the earth and sky closer
My memory turns into quiet sea
That reflects through generations
Every thoughts I have is all
For everyone I dearly love whom
Like dew on grass - pure, sincere
And filled with light but now long gone
Time slows down to let me whisper
To my ancestors in

In Memory

my father is no longer here
but I still have memories 
like the letters from his high school buddies
in the armed forces
at the tail end of World War 2.
these letters, thankfully, were saved by my grandmother
he missed his senior year 
to learn how to fly an airplane for the war with Japan
Hitler had been defeated
but not

I kissed the night like an old lover, in memory of days long past

I kissed the night like an old lover, in memory of days long past,
drinking from its shadows like a deep, unsettling crimson wine,
loneliness wore a velvet cloak, silky and heavy like a forgotten dream,
and I, a smile stitched with threads of melancholy, let myself be lost in the evening's decline.
The moon, a silent witness, watched

Saved in Memory

Darling Judy, here I am
Howling at the moon
I just cannot understand
Why did you go so soon
Only angels know, but they
Never speak to me
Wasn’t near you that day
Where I should have been
I can’t see you in my dreams
That I’ve seen before
They return like waves at sea
I don’t know what for
If you only knew, my love
What has

Sonnet for a Loved One - In Memory of Kim

We lose our loved ones since life is wayward. 
For everyone, the breath of death, it stinks.
Its kiss, calamitous shame. E'en flowers
turn martyrs, beauty burns, and despair sinks.

A proud mother barred from her cherished calf.
She hates the dark hole, black toll, worthless tomb 
which stakes a Cross, and none will wish to laugh
when elephant sorrows

In Memory Of Rod Serling

Crossing over
into the realm 
of non-description
reference and paradigm
sleep alone

Borders falling inward
upon themselves
leaving only what
the mind forgoes
—and the soul forbids

I get excited every year
To be down by the river
And to enjoy the 3 meals a day
To see all my relatives
To play fun games all night 
To sing songs around a campfire
But now it’s all seems so different
The river has lost its charm
The food doesn’t taste as good
Most of my relatives don’t come anymore
The games

She was such a lovely person.
She never judged, and was always helpful.
She kept her composure when I couldn’t.
She never snapped, never got angry.
But now I know.
I know what was said behind my back.
I always thought she was so kind.
She trusted me with her secrets so I trusted her with mine.
With my secrets she fled.
She spread

Better in memory
It was an adventure.
It was community.
It was friendship.
But with time, all things must fade,
Just like a mascarade.
Long long long ago,
I would play,
In the blocky world of make believe,
Nothing built can last forever,
As so they would say.

Dear younger self,
You are beautiful, your skin was never “to” dark
It is just fine, infact it’s perfect. Don’t base your skin color on your worth.You are enough.
Live in the moment, don’t spend your childhood years trying to grow up.
You’ll look back wishing mom sent you into your room for a nap as a punishment. As
