Long Deathtime Poems

My esteemed Rinpoche
repeatedly impresses upon me
Our humane democratic vocation
to become an enlightened individual.

Which sounds like a polyculturing lot,
for absorbent 
co-acclimating residents and guests
of Earth's cooperative green/blue hermitage
To accomplish 
in solitude,
in one semi-lifetime,
demi-deathtime.

While this seems ambiguously...

A cold and calculating problem
I see
is finding resonantly warm motivation
for resilient employment
by following mere capital short-term acquisition norms
for sacred vocational gravitas,
and maybe a smidge of gratitude--
where "smidge" is warmly defined
as the opposite of cold hegemony.

He pulled the bed-clothes round him, as the voices began to talk, he placed both his hands
over his ears, that would shut them out, he thought.
Louder and louder they called to him, as he banged...

I wish you were here
I wish I had sat beside you yesterday
When I had the chance
I wish I had told you how I really felt
When you said you loved me at the dance.

More than once
I've...

It's the end of my purposeful day,
a prostate being in prayer
with much sincere accord,
and my gratitude is not hurried away;
it is persistent in its allegory
already conceded...


Days don't last, time does
and the thought of eternity causes...

The dying year old, bent and grey of hair
with a heart that grew weak and a soul that ached
lay in a hospital bed as the minutes ticked away

He knew his time was near as he...

The mark has been made
Now it is time for you to pay
For all that you have done
For all that has been
There is no escape
And you have no friends
I will make you suffer
I will make you...

  Mum, let her sleep mother,
  For it’s time, time to lay fatigue bone,
  Time to cover up with a quiet rest forever,
  After much ruffled in the,
  Dust wrapper...

AND ON THE 25TH OF DECEMBER,
19-, I DIED AS A STRICT SATANIC MEMBER;
CALLED HOME BY MY FATHER STILL TO BE KNOWN-
BUT HAD I ANY HOPE? I BELIEVE NONE.

I CAME TO MY SENSES, THE AREA COLD,...

18 years went by.

Some the worst of his life..

Many years he suffered from beatings and heartbreaks.

He'd been through trials and tribulations time and time again

For so long he was just a lost boy, who thought...

Death is at your doorway, the reaper nears, cloaked in darkness,

His essence veiled. He knows your time is close at hand.

How now shall you meet Azrael? He is transported across the mortimer,

The sea of the...

The single church bells eerie boom
Serves only to enhance the gloom,
They pass the freshly open tomb
They’ve come to say goodbye.

The vicar speaks in solemn drone
Of someone he has never known, 
Someone with whom they all...

"THE INK"


Spots left behind; a blur of once upon a time

To be was just an example, and furthered humankind

I to am a splatter of semi-existence;

To be forgotten as time presses on

WHY ? the unanswered question;

When mommy told me, that you were at rest
I had to think, of what to do best
Although we had, so little times shared
Deep down inside, i knew you always cared

The Hourglass
Julie Ann Saavedra
1-04-2010
We think we have forever,
As the seasons ebb and flow,
The sand in the hourglass empties,
We watch our children grow.
We believe we have another day,
We have time to spare
The sand is slowly shifting,
We...

I walked up to that black coffin 
With it's open door
There lay your pale body 
Looked away for what i didn't want to fell no more

There you were so calm
No expression on your face

LEISURE For EVER






LEISURE FOR EVER
FOR SOME IT’S JUST A POINT INVISIBLE FEEL
LEISURE FOR EVER
AS A TASK SUSPICIOUS SYMBOL
TRY TO WRITE AND APPEASE
PERCEIVE ANCESTORS IN GOOD TIME OF SOCIETY


YOU CAN’T GIVE UP JUST BECAUSE 
IT LOOKS...

Thrashing waves pounding against the rocks, the sound
of distant seaguls screaching from afar, all seem to know 
the time is near

Distantly the amber glow of a lonely lighthouse seems
to be fading further and further out...

Your time is near, you look back on your life in gratitude.
Faces of sorrow and tears fill up the room quickly.
In your mind you want to think everything is ok, but for some reason you...

A time to live,
a time to die,
life is like a vapor
so short and swift.

A blink of an eye
and it's over,
a moment in time
you were ten years old.

A moment in time you
were living so carefree,
a moment...

Hush now don't say a word
Death is near
I'm not scared
Don't have no fears
I know what is happening here
Don't treat me as though I'm gone
Enjoy these moments here
Soon I will suffer no more
My time is near

The heat from the night 
breaks the sweat.

In my face and with 
distaste.

I am ice cold.

Shivers runs the spirals

Crystallized are my 
thoughts.

Freezing my memories 
inside my head.

What to ever is left for 
my sins...

The Reaper looks ever so poorly
The Reaper looks ever so grim
But then it is hardly surprising
He really is terribly thin

With his job there’s no time for dinner
He looks like he’s dead on his feet
He really...
