Irish Condolences

On faltering the ill
tempered surrender
the speechless ignorance
of their fathers
Challenge never knew
of their presence
Accountants of pressure
frequent one another
Rarely daring to take part
in the discussion.

May angels dry tears with gentle wings,
guide your thoughts toward supernal things.
Laborious to catch your breath,
today your sorrow is keen in death.
Celebrate memories you have shared,
immortal Glory, godly declared.

Six More Canadians Die

Another six of 
Our Canadians have died
In a crash of a 
Helicopter in 
The Greek Ionian sea
Doing their duty.

Condolences go 
Out to all who are grieving 
At this saddened time.

Another burial....
                   ...  condolences,
deep emotional feelings
grieving hearts imbue jeweled kinships,
lasting memories,
needing obituaries
peace, quietude, rest
succumb to undertaker
vestiges withered
'xpired, yielded.

Deepest condolences for your recent loss I understand how your sadness feels, For I, too, have borne that bitter cross And long for the time when memory heals When peace returns what eternity steals.

A Poets Prayer

Good morning fellow soupers...it has come to my saddest attention  that Mr Victor Buhagiar’s dear wife has passed away this morning...I only ask for a silent prayer for our dear friend Victor...and perhaps some soup mail addressed to him for condolences...thank you my friends...god bless...^WW^

Chardon

A normal day,
A boy sits down with his friends,
He sets his bag down.

They talk about plans,
Ans what's happening later,
They're all unaware.

The day turns drastic,
No one would have suspected,
That this would happens.

A gun is fired,
Into a group of students,
Their plans  are ruined.

My condolences.

Dying Mind

All alone on my death bed I lie
I’m the one dying, why do they cry
When I was living, nobody took care of me?
As now I’m dying, they all have fear of me

But it really does hurt, it’ so hard to die
Don’t even have strength to cry
People around me, they are feeling so high
The condolences and sympathy just a lie

Doorbell

The chimes startled Steve 
Dropping the dumbbells
He rushed to his door
The uniform disturbed him
So much more than the bells 
Ever could
He is a man
He will not cry
He will not faint
The officer hands him the envelope with condolences
How will he tell her son?
John Dunne
Said it all
The bell tolls
For thee

Words

They say words can heal
the most difficult of times,
strengthen your resolve 
and ease your mind.
But these are more than words,
they’re tears from my pen;
think of them as a warm embrace
offered by a grieving friend.
Please accept my condolences
and these words of mine,
written to comfort you
during a most difficult time.

Pets

Our pets got old.
We all acted surprised.
When we had puppies and kittens…
They were playful and unstoppable.
So were we.
As they settled down-
We graduated high school.
As they got weak and scraggly-
We graduated collage.
Now we take turns sending our condolences.
Our friendships changed.
Our pets loved us all the way home.

Sincere Condolences

Thank you for the card
Your letters are stunning
The door open just a crack
But we know you don’t look back

A question or a ruse
Ready to leave another bruise
I duck and weave against the air
But again you are not there

So I walk over the words
Try to find something unheard
Until I find our familiar pattern
How did I let that happen

Some Carbs Or Other

cup me in some sweet condolences 
leave me dusted in saccharin 
after honey licks

there on your lips
autumn burst fruits
and
bruises

my blush of knowing
too much
my rush of tasting
enough
to be hooked on your liqueur 

lips. granulated resistance 
spent.
echo.
fullness empties,
echo.

coitus tristesse,
echo

sugar the fruits'

Our Death

Neptune will cry for our death 
Fragments of sea blood 
Temblor of regards 
Condolences from Poseidon 
Exhaling ciaos, inhaling mists 
And all else Jupiter, once more 
 
All yellow bleeds fire 
None could inhume his dolour 
Grams of sorrow, forcely collected 
Twining clouds and forming seas 
Autarkic trumpets would sing  
As colors received by Uranus

This Damn War

If John McCain becomes President, he will most likely continue the war.
When it comes to our soldiers, we can't afford to lose anymore.
I offer my condolences to the families who have lost people in Iraq.
If McCain wins, it will be a long time before our troops are brought back.
If Obama wins, he'll stop this damn war.
On November the 4th, Obama is who I'll vote for.

The Winds of change have come again.
 To think we've lost another friend.
It grieves my heart, you left so soon.
 I read your blog this afternoon.
A better place you've journeyed to.
 God Speed Harry, thinking of You.
 
 
Dedication to Harry Horsman.
My condolences to his family.
Also want to thank Mandy a
True friend of Harry's for

Xx: Yours Watch-Lad

At this juncture
Of vehement condolences
At this juncture
Of false reproaches
The vendors did not venture a plea
Yet the gods are still waiting
In their uncertain shrine –

Dearest V.C. –
Some celebrate in it still
Some calibrate in it still
The forest mourns the logs;
Salute the ill-bands of vigilantes
Who daily shock the peace –
Thanks: yours roused & watch-lad!

Premium Member These Days Old Man

Shocking, those stockings, suspenders and all.
In old days, told to pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
These days, old man, you just don’t want to fall.
And truly you’ve had your share of mishaps…so
Go forth, adventure, into the old age zone
Put on your thick glasses and disposables.
And for goodness sake, don’t go it alone.
It is not yet time for condolences!

Words of Sympathy

My condolences can’t ease the pain,
That you have come to feel.
Nor fill the void in your heart,
That often seems unreal.

But it lets your heart know,
That you are in my prayers.
And when sorrow digs its heels,
There is someone here who cares.

I offer healing words of comfort,
And many hugs for sympathy.
When sorrowful clouds blotch your sky,
You can always depend on me.

Tears and Time

Turn away  moment,
 there are too many tears in my eyes,
should you see them
 you might feel sorry for me.

I don't want or need that
 only the moment left unseen
that let's me cry
 at my own loss.

I've no need 
 of your pity
neither your sorrow 
 nor condolences;

We live, we love, we hope, we dream,
 we win and lose,
it all unfolds in time
 and there we laugh, 
we cry, we live and die.

Xiv: Vehement Condolences

Darest V.C. –
We all heard of the flute of the regency,
Tho’ it told of a few in the house-pital:
Yet we know it was the exordium!

Darest V.C. –
Tell the vergers of the gods,
The forest is expecting
The full exegesis of the gods;

She was heir to the heavy blows 
– The heinous death of the sons –
The mothers & the concubines sigh
For a loss of kindred tears,
And restless fathers hover in waiting forests.
