Tin Man cut short the chase
And with the axe he proudly flaunted
Claimed the heart he always wanted...

The words flow like a river
The voice shimmies 
Rising and falling 
In harmony with notes floating behind
Beat after beat after beat
Held long
Cut short
Beautiful...

This world seems to have strummed the wrong chord
So I offered a prayer to the Lord
Will wars never cease
When we all want peace . . . .
But my prayer was cut short by a sword...

On a coffin a single rose
All in all no one knows
How much she hurt
How far he went
Why she was forever bent
Why her wrists were always red
Until the day she was finally dead...

If you died
My arms will feel empty
My path cut short
Languidly pacing
I, I… I can’t seem to
End it
To die and be with you
Will my selfishness for life
Ruin my home
And bring you strife...

Here lies Emmett Kermit Lavender
Whose time was summarily cut short
When he insulted his English professor
With an unnecessarily caustic retort

Life erodes the body; riding its waves, leaves one drained.
Spirit’s education, is wear and tear; the mortal is cut short.  
Beware the reaper’s scythe; the scalpel of death, cuts swift and clean.

Truth by lip service and rote

Nailed to a cross

Judgment by history; cut short

To appease the blaggard and bullies of faith

Nailed to idolatry

The future by judgment; cut short

To appease the Judas heart...

He loved a lady,twice his age
In his heart a passion raged
He added her nam to his-
A young talent sadly cut short
Dying in WW1,as he so bravely fought

Tribute to Henri Gaudier-Brzeska (1891-1915) & his platonic love affair with Sophie Brzeska...

Down a dark wormhole, 
cut short by nothing; 
We fly fast and fierce,
simply free falling
inside the abyss;

Mandalas form
tumbling circles 
celestial spins 
no gravity; 

Spiraling 
particles 
imprison, 

my mind 
my heart 

cuffed....

Thoughts, breathless,
disperse like clouds
in the day.
Interludes,
cut short in the wind,
gone
with the time.
Empty caves of remembrance,
torn in a starless sky,
the light of bygone days,
extinct.
Broken watch-glass,
torn off hands,
covered by the sand
of the past....

THE DAISIES
You really have to hand it to the daisies
They dash the lawn like gems on rich brocade
Their sparkle that thus gratifies our gaze is
Cut short each time the reaper wields his blade
Yet in a space of fecund summer days 
They raise their heads, resume their snow-white blaze...

Daniel’s Song
Tears shed for
A life cut short
A beautiful child
Who was loved
By
Many
But
Confusion set in
And pain reigned long
We loved you in spite
When hope seemed lost
You were stilled loved
[This poem is dedicated to those suffering from Opiate addiction and their friends and families]...

The Queen of  Spiders
The Queen of spiders watches him
While her every whim he heeds
He thinks that she is what he wants
What he gets is more than he needs

The mating ritual will end tonight
Anticipation of each little one
Cut short when she bites off his head
The Black Widows task has now been done!...

Untouched by form of his time
Dying so young of TB
His talent remains for us to see-
Cut short this tragic life,
Followed so quickly by his wife.

Modigliani 1884-1920 

Note: Two days after his death his pregnant wife Jeanne,jumped from a 5th floor window.

One more chemo left. 
Two more full moon I will see
Three kids still in school. 

last three months, life will cut short.
one heart, two eyes, I pledge, to support.

Murdered in cold blood,
for  refusing to  be  Part;
corruption covered,
I weep for the life cut short,
weep!for I have no one else.

Orphan I become,
mingling with vipers and lice;
In  cities of flies,
what can a tailless  cow  do?
Hope that truth shall come to light.

Through a crack in the wall he did peep,
Though in daytime he should be asleep.
All at once he did scurry
As if in a hurry,
Aversion in me running deep.

My brief sojourn outside was cut short
For such company I can’t support.
Any mouse running near
Makes me want to stay clear
Since with others he’s sure to cavort!...

A life cut short
A family left to grieve 
Gone but not forgotten 
You are always here with us

A loss so sudden. 
Your life brought to 
a sudden end. 
Fear not your memory will 
never fade your star shines 
bright So Sailor on
