Long Mourner Poems

Hello? Are you there today?
Have I scared you away?
Spent my whole teenage life, 
Preparing for this day of strife 
To say my goodbye's
To your love-me-not lies
Oh well, oh well
I'm not saying farewell
Where do you dwell?
In...

Reach only the ears of the psychic… or dead

They have come for your funeral 
Their looks belie ‘their hearts
 When you needed them 
Their backs turned on you 
Now shamelessly and hypocritically
 They drag those sacrilegious legs 
To   profane your ...

We wanted to make a heavenly cake
But needed angelic ingredients
That were as far out of reach as can be
So we thought of other expedients

Like the famed store of unusual foods
Though it wasn’t around the corner
But...

"Saddo...Saddo...",she kept calling me,
Yeah,I was sad,
So I was named Saddo,
Flowers fell from highest branches, 
Fruits fell from tall branches,
My days were full of worries and  mess,
Series of bad occurrence,
Many that laughed with me,
Same see...

Lost Soul

We’ve gathered here to say goodbye
to yet another boring guy,
kept on yelling for attention
till it gave him hypertension.
Now in the box beneath the shroud
he’s got the eye of all the crowd,
best leading role he...

I remember when you packed up
and stacked the bags in the pick up
That night I curled up in a corner
I wore black like a mourner
I had dreams of us
You & ma got alone without a...

To the sound of pelting rain, she woke in early morning
Upon the tattered tin roof, it rhythmically pitter pattered
No sunlight peeked through clouds on daylight's dawning
She thought of him and of the dreams that were...

fascination with the
dead.

She loves to attend
the funerals of
family members

and talk endless
about the dead.

she does...

Brian Dunn’s instant memorial smoke rose
from his peaty wet death hole, roots
lumps of peat and ling fell like black roses over his body
and the blood splattered fan of...

There she was moments before
she flew away from the snare
in your arms a songless owl.

Strewn pictures on the floor, half-hearted

velvet shawl with a cheap cologne that is priceless to your...

A scorpion in a crab's garb!
Has stung into my body cells;
Poisoning my joy's inner orb,
Has dug into me deep death wells…

Bitter emptiness in me shrouds,
Like dark eclipses in the Space;
Have heaven's galaxy's star crowds,
Dared dim...

I saw you at the front of the steps 
I simply smiled and you said 
"There's nothing left" 
You seemed astonished 
But then again I promised
Open your eyes and take note 
Beneath the ash, soot,...

Hounds prowl beneath a cold-blooded moon.
Torchbearers cross the levee in unions of two,
Each boasting of the mischief he’ll do.
Ghosts follow hard in Lucifer’s tracks.
Hell’s dignitaries, slipping through cracks in the night,
Prepare to hold a premature...

And You, My Dear, Will Fade 

Ah, there you are,
How radiant you appear, 
Lovers seem to be distant
As sycophants stand too near,
And you glide, as if on air,
I breathe your every move, 
Omnipresent yet undefined...
