Premium Member 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...

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...

Premium Member 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...

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...

Premium Member 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, not myth
For let me be remebered Not cherished, loved, adored God let me be remebered Despite all of my flaws Let me not be an angle In the eyes of the world Let me not be diluted By the demise that was hurled From exaggeration set me free Let my wit travel beyond me How my soul bleeds in...

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 (The New Room: 1-15-2025) ...

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...

Better in Memory
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
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...

Better In Memory
The Sun shone on the vast open land Hardly bothered by a single cloud Everything was wonderful The bikes, were even quite loud The sun was warm And the breeze was brisk The only thing to make this better Is me on a bike, going real quick What a time to be alive Me hanging with my friends It's such an amazing day Could only hope...

Premium Member In Memory of Nana
In sharing my thoughts about Nana... Where do I even begin? Her smile that lit up every room? Her sparkle? Her mischievous grin? Her rib cracking hugs have been mentioned a lot By the friends who she mutually adored. Many felt inspired by her courage, her faith And her trust in the Sovereign Lord. Her sense of humour was second to none. She loved...
