No one noticed when I cried;
No one noticed anything at all.
Until I died.

Winter Sea Tanka For Me Contest

My father is dead

I kneel by gray winter seas

Fjords echo my rage

Grief swoops down from the heavens

Like hawks grabbing prey

Premium Member How My First Poem Was Born

My daughter’s last breath
my first poem, “Stay,” was born—
a sad mother’s grief,
desperate for a reason
to stay for another day.

An Angel In Disguise

Always wearing white,
Who knew she was an angel?
Her friends had no clue,
But one day she flew away,
Higher than than the planes she flies.

She Girl

She lives with friends.
She meets her loves.
She starts her work.
She sits as a dove.
She runs her life.
She's got all that.
But then she's found
Dead on the track.

Her gentle kiss

Mother,
You are not here to soothe my restless night,
To kiss my dawn and make mornings bright.
No gentle hands to brush the dust away,
Or calm the storms my weary heart conveys.

Poem Emily Style

I heard a fly buzz by - when I died
The air stale - and - bitter
Voices heavy - thoughts many
I gaze to the ceiling and watch the fly buzz overhead
I closed my eyes- final peace
- Eternity -

Us - Minus One

Today the strangers didn't come
In fact, no one did
The house was empty
And far too quiet
With just the ghosts of our past
Floating silently on the wind
as our only companions

I miss you dad.

Laughter and sunshine
Was our daughter of joy
Humor with spark divine
Laughter and sunshine
Rich did our hearts entwine
Death could grin and enjoy
Laughter and sunshine
With our daughter of joy

Loved To Death

beneath the oak tree
a sapling withers and dies
shielded from the sun
sheltered from the wicked world
she swings from a makeshift noose
Form: Tanka

Dream-Time

In dream-time does my father wait,
each morning between asleep and awake. 
Memories to stir till dawn does break, 
to comfort and hold as my heart aches.

Pretty Girl

A father photo-shopped a picture of his daughter who took her own life....

Pretty as a picture
She smiles at you
With faraway eyes
Forever young now
Remember her in happiness
In love so precious too.

My Struggle

Too many 
lies in my veins
Too many 
skies filled with rain
Too many 
times haunting now
Too many 
words screaming loud
Too many
reasons to quit
Too many 
seasons to sit
Too many 
dreams of why
Too many 
loved ones die

Misty Dawn

sweetest heart
forever loved
death can not tear us apart 
guiding wind
unsung songs
forever kind
in my heart you 
you will always
    belong
i miss you everyday
without you my 
world is blue
i love you true
my  precious child

Domestics - Blue Berry Pancake

Simmering,hot, pancakes, flushed.
Battered, beating, bruised,
Syrup, sweet, melted, dripping, 

Brown now, peeling, ripping 
Dark berries, smashed oozing bluish - black red,
Hands and words tossed instead,

Pancake Burnt! Pancake dead!

Bells and Cries

A lovely lady;
Growing inside, a new life.
A man in a tux.

Another bell rings now.
Final grades, balanced college offers,
Off to another adventure.

Damp ground, headstones.
Growing inside, a new life,
Done with their adventures.

Lydia's Daddy

...eyes puffy                       
      caked up with cry

Daddy ain't comin' home
       but 
         she don't know why...
 
grown folk sadness
         ripping inside her

       All she's known about lovin's 
               in the coffin beside her

Empty Womb

never forgotten, never far from my soul- my womb forever empty, my heart but half full. I’ll always remember, your innocence and scent- my Rose in the morn’, heavenly sent. For Contest Rick Parise November 7, 2017

Revolver

Return the innocence you took,

afraid, we were, to even look,

so paranoid of being mocked,

revolver in your hand half-cocked.


Without a compass, lost at sea,

destruction was our destiny,

time and time, left alone,

with just the scent of your cologne.

Sympathy

With her I cry
My tears roll down the cheeks
She cries for the daughter long lost
I cry for the pain she hides
She smiles as life has to go on
I keep her company as friend 
My bit I do this way
She has my ears to pour in her pain
Pain and sympathy will go hand in hand.
