When you meet death, smile as if greeting an old friend.
The fear you feel, is the fear that death will not notice how you've changed.
The lessons you've learned, the tears you've cried, the smiles you distributed to the ones in need.
But death as an old friend sees your discomfort, and wraps a warm arm around your shoulder.
The two of you walk arm in arm in the cold snow, lamp lights flickering in the distance.
Realization finally dawns on you, death was never the taker of your life, rather your guide to a new one.
The snow under your feet is infinitely deep, and you are without shoes.
With each step, melted snow turns to ice on your bare feet.
And the weight, o the weight would be unbearable without death keeping you from falling awry.
The pull of the unknown, drags like gravity down.
But death is strong, and deaths feet like snow shoes plod on through the deep.
The farther you travel, the warmer it gets, and when you look down you see the ice has melted.
The lamplight now looks as if it was made of sun, so warm, so pleasant like the face of an approving father.
Death turns to you and says, "It is time".
Looking back all you see is a tunnel, so dark it resembles the womb in which you first were birthed.
A deep breath, and you step into the waters, warm and inviting.
The snow and cold are gone, feeding this lake of warmth.
And even though it is light, you can see how dark it is until....
You are squeezed into the world that is to become your own, you gasp and suck sweet ether that inflates your breath.
The fear of being alone overtakes you, then you see your mothers eyes,
the eyes of love.
Death waves goodbye with parting words, "We will meet again old friend".
First Law of the Conservation of Energy- Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed to one form or another.
What animates life is energy........If life must create Death....then for the equation to be balanced...Death must create Life...........
It is the roots of Death.....that grow the tree of Life.. and it is the School of Life that prepares us for the University of Death...........and so the wheel spins.....................................
A snowflake dropped from the clouds
Unto our roof it bewildered the crowd
It is so sensitive and so sweet
With a heart courageous and ready to speak
It survived the heat and the harsh weather
For it is always prepared for any situation's nether
One day, I got to meet it
And enjoyed every moment with it on the roof's cliff
We talked together whenever I had time
As we shared gossips with one another's chime
Amazing were the moments with it
For they are candles always lit
In the pathway of memories
Stored in my wall of armories
I smiled at it as I passed by
Expressing the happiness I felt with thy
Yet, as the horrible news was announced,
My smile slowly hid,
For it was about my friend; the snowflake
I rushed to where it would wake
To prove the news' fake,
But, the snowflake shook its head
Approving the news was true indeed,
I couldn't believe what I just heard,
Though it was said by my friend,
I couldn't let go and walk away,
I felt so lost and astray
The sun lighted the ground
As the tidings spread around,
Aches of sadness stroke through eyes
Allowing tears to pour with many cries,
Days are left and the news shall take place
While some ignore and others enjoy every moment in front of its face,
I can't forget so easily
For it is a friend that is sincerely
Signed on one of my pages of memory
But, I enjoy every moment I have left with it
Enduring every smile and laugh I share with it
For the news was:
" I shall melt by the end of this year and never come back,
I shan't forget every moment with you, that's a fact,
Yet again I have to leave and let go
Leaving many beloved simply go,
Remember me, for I shall never forget you,
Remember the good times, for they shall never anew...
Love you all
Sincerely,
Snowflake "
Tears shall fly with you my friend as you depart
Into the wilderness of life you shall start,
Forget me not, my friend,
Forget me not, dear snowflake....

November 30, 2023
Thanks for seeing me, if you please
can I now get up off my knees?
Where do I start? I've made a list
forgive me for the one's I've missed.
Can we go back to '77
when you were in your cosy heaven
whilst down below I watched my Dad
struggle for breath, his lungs gone bad?
Ok, my life then I'll admit
held little faith for quite a bit
I fought daily battles alone
relied not on the great unknown.
When finally he left us all
my heart gave out a silent call
that in some bright celestial light
he finally was now alright.
Is he?
Unaided, can he get along
clear lungs to breathe, give praise in song?
Dull eyes that sometimes shone in mirth
as clear as his first hour since birth?
Eighteen years fast forward now
my link with you rebuilt somehow
as by your rules I tried to live
the bond between us tentative
From ten commandments, maybe six
I got to obey- 'pick 'n mix'
The good stuff I could not resist
was sadly never on your list.
Was that why when I called you Lord
you never offered a reward?
When Mother's health went in decline
you punished all those
sins of mine?
And still that faith, though tattered strands
made me kneel down and clasp my hands
and thank you for final release
and pray that she now rests in peace.
Does she?
With father's hand does she now go
like that old black and white photo,
with wedding veil and beaming smile
down some cherub-lined wedding aisle?
And then my brother, six years on
happened so quickly, and was gone
we soldier on and do our best
while he sleeps in eternal rest.
Or does he?
Have you for him set by a place
where he plays his Fender Jazz Bass?
Making up a group of four
with Lennon, Hendrix, Gary Moore?
Jamming sessions, laying down tracks
free from Cancer and heart attacks
playing to approving nods
from some of music history's Gods.
Sorry, Lord, I know there's only you,
really.
Anyway that's enough from me
you've sat and listened quietly
not judged me which I did expect
and one last thing, Lord-
am I next?

“Metallic skin"
I dont lotion anymore
Such acts would soften an amour now immune to abuse.
Its now 8'o clock and I can tell that mommy is already asleep.
I prepare a clean skin to be dumped in acts of unwanted desires.
A child's room to become the scene for subjected sin in sex!
My Innocents awaits to be taken once more, soon my Dora underwear will be torn off by a gentleman with the courtesy of secretly replacing them.
Swiper's car pulls up
A man of work, he stops not to say a thing, he pulls the door and creeps right in.
Right on schedule sir!
Yes sir!
Yes sir!
The soldiers on the television, I turned their voices up.
I sit in the corner, further away from him, I pressed my face into the arms of meeting walls, the spot where my tears kept me clean.
His five knives went jammed in my neck! I bit my lips causing my metallic skin to flick a tooth in the back of my head.
I swallowed it as my signature, approving this sentence.
Molten lava between my legs.
The friction scrapes me in and out!
Head held down, bowed to the name who sits on my family tree, I am green but he still picks me!
We are dogs, family on top of family, he did it horridly, a gentleman without hospitality.
He gave me something much bigger than me, pressure to the pipe,
it laid inside of me.
My reflection shows a prospective whore
Daddy what should I become a Lady of the night? For every night you open my little books to read me!
This red liquid drips me colourful, I paint a dead colouring book.
Daddy I am small but my tears are big, a million times I died in my own liquid.
I don't have a shadow anymore for I am not worthy to be seen.
My skin grows but I shrink, dreams died one stroke at a time. He smashed my metalic skin.
Now I am HIV “Aladeen" my curves curls up cursed touched by a related beast. I am done, I am drowned in my metalic skin.
