Then Shall I Knell

Now listen to me, my Lover; is there love as sweet as love this?
Then lo! wither thou art, there in that far wall
a single flower is frozen, and through the hole is a voice.

See her pretty breast, whereon there kisses I beat,
till from the wall I hear her song on the steps.

Is it I?—no, but

The Street

The street is quiet
As it is seem.. 
But louder what you can't see. 
The ghosts wander and the souls wander, searching for the places and reasons of their murders. 
Its unfortunate that they died but after they were killed some strange power took their place. 
The silence is before they give you to devil and

Death Knell Tanka

a limp flag
hangs at half-mast
the silence broken
by the church bell
and village gossiper

The Death Knell

The Death Knell
(COVID-19)
Written: by Miracle Man
5-3-2020

The death knell that changed the game,
once under subjection, lives won’t be the same.
Change is constant, we must adapt to survive,
To some, change decreases, while others thrive.

Many may detest what each new day brings,
the landscape changes, making paupers of kings.
When change is gradual, most rethink, and cope,
but a pandemic is

Death Knell

A saccharine rueful cry rode upon the wind,
   not a howl but a solemn ceaseless wail of tears
whispering a last bell's ring, peal and tolling goodbye;
a farewell to blended melancholic images and visions
   that once permeated the echoing halls and corridors
   where voices rang a rhythmic haunt of point

Knell the Bell

Pell
a bell
in a seashell
and the echoes will dwell
resonating to dings that swell
to crescendo, a carillon of bells
that befells the hearer to quell,
and knell

Sound of a Knell

As the rain poured down 
On the solemn town
You could hear the cries of the wind
As the knell unpinned
For a vehicle in all black 
And a family of no luck
Were stationed near a grave
And as the knell rang one last time

Death Knell

In the light of my days-
Tears appears;
But tis yet dark,
My heart is black.

My mind trembles-
For the thoughts of rubbles;
Eon of sleep-not in mind,
A moment in the night-not it kind.

In the light we celebrate his cries,
In the dark we mourn his silence.
His presence we stand to miss,
But his absence we live to hiss.

For his peace-we travel,
As

Nearing Knell

As my wife lay with eyes closed in her last hours, not a word spoken, but tears
ran that told me she heard and could think.....I wiped her tears with a tissue.
The below is not for the speed reader who mistakes it for rambling, but my care 
of choosing thought I will always remember. 

I heard

Knell

From the church tower, a sorrowful knell,
listen closely, a story it does tell.
Each reverberation, lands like a tear,
as the family of mourners gathers near.

For each year in a life, the knell does sound.
Twelve in all, such a short resound.
A soul too young, to hold such burden.
Forever to lie within the garden.

Each family member lays a

Knell

Love is but a second’s tick
Recorded by the cruel clock of Time.
Hear those meshing gears revolve and click!
And listen…for Love’s final chime.
