Long Cremate Poems

Thou, O king, hast made a decree, 
that every man that shall hear the
sound of the cornet, flute, harp,
sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, 
and all kinds of musick, shall fall
down and worship the golden image:
And whoso...

In the narrow margin between life and death,
I feel as I'm walking a tightrope - but balancing.
I'm a portrayal of metaphors, 
illuminating like spring's moon,
who sunk like winter sunset,
but arose like summer sunrise -
my last...

It’s a nice warm summer’s evening in 2004
The cool man was on top of the Manchester tower block
He fires down with various guns at his lower targets
There is a builders yard two hundred metres...

LASHES TO ASHES IN SLOW MOTION

Might I please present myself as a prologue to death
Because unless I am terribly wrong…….
I can’t have too terribly long
And I’ve been lazy too long
But I don’t have too long...

I've found land again, the darkest land that I have seen,
And I can't see a single thing.
I sense these peoples ears perk up as I begin to lie again,
"I'm staying in sick again",
Huhh these lies...

I will forever be as pure
as white virgin fibres,
in your onyx 
field of ravens.

today is the day 
to change my ways
and drown in the waves 
where my soul wades and waits
for my sinful traits 
to lay in the waste
of a bed i made
and destructively played

Here is nothing.
The very definition of nothing.
In front of you stands a stench.
It is something that just won’t get away.
Are you disgusted yet?
There are no feelings. 
This is cold and numb, cruel and horrendous.
This is...

when i pass
i will linger on in a few memories
a few nanoseconds in man's history
place no stone above me
with some name easily forgotten
never bury me in the earth
in some hollowed-out cavity
waiting for some delusional day
when...

I hate being asked to write about hate.
There has been too much abhorrence to date.
How is it that many people relate?
Perhaps love and compassion have lost gait.

I hate being asked to write about hate.

Please don't bury me
By Michelle Morris

Please don't bury me under that apple tree
So beautiful and abundant
It needs space for life to experience
Its shade and soft mossy feet

Please don't bury me in a grave
Underneath a drab...

The cancer within.
Just another place to be.
(Whatever that means).

hello, now
You look different
than I imagined, filtered
through those gamma rays.

Shall we slice, dice or
nuke today? My good doctor,
practice on me, please!

Instead of breathing air--It is tears I take in.
I can feel them, taste them.

How does one taste their tears…
They slip down your throat when
One weeps on the inside all day.

It has been so long since...

broken down deeper than a trench,

torn and ripped from feeling,

numb and frozen cold,

alive, yet barely breathing,

screaming, yelling, yet wont escape those lungs,

slowly the kerosine pours through your teeth, soon infects the body,

so set her alite,...

Down through the greener woods of Uma,
Through the lions’ den to the green mamba’s palace,
Near the dik dik’s habitat,
As the antelope took off to escape the rage,
Of the approaching leopards whose paws protruded,

Upon the trees...

Its there among the flower roots 
Many laid to rest peaceful sleep 
Just cremate me all I ask 
Scatter me upon the earth 
Or perhaps the sky a breeze carried 
Maybe you just bury me...

Walking alone on this meandering path
not even a shadow of myself by my side
a cloud of silence surrounds me
I hear only my silent footsteps 
as I quietly recite poems about our short lived past

Sometimes I...

The taste of life brings me to my knees
The blood once thawed begins to freeze
And I lay my head in the hands of the devil
As I touch the sentiments on a different level

I owned a funeral parlor and I earned a lot of bread.
I got paid a whole lot of money to cremate the dead.
Each cadaver that I got rid of earned me five hundred grand.

We had a difference of opinion on final wishes
I swing back and forth like a pendulum this is
because she said it is wrong to cremate
to destroy the body that God made
That even the lords body...
