Long Sorry for your loss Poems

I often surprise many people in many ways
With the words I say…with the actions I make…

With the words they say…with the actions they fake…

Neither will I…
Assume the worst in...

 A sense of belonging 
Is amongst your nobility
Peaceably, truly longing
To give praise to You entirely

Take me all the way with your sway of youth
Give me physical poetry, please, beyond the truth
You are more priceless...

It is normal for people to say, “Sorry for your loss.”
Was it a loss? Or was it a gain?

If, because of this person’s life, you gained joy, love,...

OH, ONE SAID THAT THEY ARE OKAY
TAKING IT DAY BY DAY
SO DEPRESSED AND OVERWHELMED
NEAR THE EDGE OF A BREAKDOWN?
TRYING TO MAKE IT? 
AND BE AROUND?
THIS PANDEMIC IS SO OVERTAKEN
TAKEN A TOLL
SOME SAY THAT THEY CANNOT...

Something was so terribly wrong, the room seemed upside down, the furniture was out of

A moment of silence.
Join me, O mother earth
As I whisper a prayer,
For your son's stricken to death.
By the invisible scythe of corona. (Covid-19)

Listen to the tunes 
Of these sorrowful strings
All you far and near.
For the...

I heard ‘sorry for your loss”
I replied’ thank you for your condolence”

Is my life also over?
It is for the departed
Is life now worth living?

No words to hear
Or touches to feel
Life...

 So many people here but I barely notice that they’re there

I hold on tight to all three of you as people come and...

You feel bone tired, you lay down
You stay wide awake, mind blown
Eyes red, skin puffy, chest sore
You dont know about anything anymore
Everyone appears to treat you like a bomb
You understand this problem
Your heart is heavy,...

you give them love... they run away.
give them time...then you're replaced.
say something...they'll take it the wrong way.
you get fed up with it fast,
you wonder how long you'll last.
It's almost not worth it,
you kinda want it...

I would gather them all up,

Dangerous Mind

The mind is a most dangerous thing,
Forcing memories into replay,
Endless relived moments drowning bring
Snippets in time more real than today. 
Paralyzing sadness is trouble
Which the mind needs to be addressing. 

Before I died inside,...

story of a
husband that pass away
(sorry for your loss, i said )

only to let her ask many
thousands of questions
about me...

Old poem:
Sorry for Your Loss

“I’m sorry for your loss,” you say 
As if those words make it okay
Well it’s NOT okay, I’M NOT OKAY
Nothing will ever be the same!
I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, I...

Once a week, like clockwork
McGee goes to the Pub
The barman smiles and asks him
"What can I get you, Bub"

McGee with three fingers up
Shouts out "Just three beers"
The barman serves them up
Nods his head,as he says...

Sara lived across from a large cemetery;
So, many sad processions she had seen;
But one gray and foggy morning
One like no other made an eerie scene.

Driving slowly was a long, black hearse;
But then, following right behind,...

Death and depression. They seem to be twins they stick together. One instigates and the other follows. It's like they come in a package. Death brings depression and often times deep enough depression brings death....

Your daughter has gone missing
Can I see a photo?
Hmm, well there is nothing we can do
Wait 24 hours, probably she is with friends
Maybe she is getting food
Your daughter is 16 you say?
Well ma’me, we get...
