Dead Not Gone

Don’t say dead and gone 
It’s wrong 
He’s dead 
But not gone 
Stays in her heart 
He’s dead 
But not gone 
Still stays in her heart

Dead and Gone

Masks put on half mast 
on everybody’s faces now 
the virus dead and gone 
or else 
the mask dead or torn 
the symptoms 
to sympathize?

My Own Proverb

The Abdicate

Standard bearer,
above the fray

Others follow,
trackless fields

Trailing echo’s,
dead and gone

Then tomorrow
—tomorrow then

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2020)


Make Way For the Dolphins and Whales

today
we don't think
therefore we are not
descartes is dead and gone
machines and computers work and think for us
our minds are shrinking, withering and decaying from lack of exercise

My Neighbourhood

Frozen streams are calm incidents of winter
When lean, broken stems seem dead and gone
But the way things stand now in the nearby minster,
Canticles accompanied by spawning candles are worn.

Good Morning

Birds sing their waking
Silence dead and gone
Aurora rays pierce the sky
Resurrected dawn
Sunlight drips to your lashes
Slides down to your nose
Your eyes glow in the early light
like a morning rose.

Premium Member In December Its Winter---

IN DECEMBER ITS WINTER---

Water thaws air’s frozen;
The wind calls, must be winter;
The trees are dancing;
Flowers wilted all dried up and dead and gone;
Its December must be winter;

The Abyss

I'm walking through
the mire

You're screaming through
the abyss

We walk along the path
Hoping for one last kiss

Everything that you thought was your own
Is now dead and gone

But now we tune into the song
that we once thought was wrong

Fed Up

I can't take it anymore
it's dead and gone and it's for sure
I'm done with it, this is the end
there's nothing left here to pretend
please take it away from me
because I don't really agree
The truth is I'm fed up with it
so leave it all and let me sleep

parents

Parents if you hinder
Your young adult or adult child
All their life, and don’t show
Them the right way
While you’re still alive
Don’t expect your 
Other kids to take on 
The responsibility 
After your dead and gone
Because they have to live
Their lives to

Gone But Not For Good

Moments past, long dead and gone,
Etched still though said and done; 

Meandering to what once had been,
Olden, bygone days way back when;

Restless the ghosts of yesteryears,
In the brain like a nagging refrain;

Enduring what is best forgotten,
Surrendering to memories again.

Mama Going Straight To Heaven

Son, when 
I am dead and gone,
Please do not
Bring me fresh flowers
That I cannot smell,
Have roses that I cannot pluck, 
Play music that I cannot hear
Just put me in a white robe and pine casket, because
Mama going straight to heaven to receive her blessings
Thank you, sweet Jesus!

Bye

Blue eyes filled with lies,
those eyes are breaking me down,
memories that hurt

my mask is falling,
my veil is crumbling down,
my pain is exposed

my heart fails to beat
my eyes are failing to see
I am nothing more

I am dead and gone
of this wretched life im free
now this is goodbye

All Alone By Ronald S Porter

momma and daddy, dead and gone
brother and sister too
no sons, no daughters to carry on
i sit here and wait, alone
for Death has followed my trail
since the sound of my first wail
rose to meet a cold, rainy morn
no matter how many i've loved or known
i'll die as i lived and, was born
on my own... all alone

If I Was To Die

If I was to die would it break your heart would you always stay with me.

Or would we fall apart would you still love me even through I'm up with god.

Or will you find somebody else when I'm dead and gone.

I know that you'll be sad and very lonely too.

 But I hope you know that no other girl will love you like I do

Flower Power

"Delta dawn, what's that flower you have on?"

                  Daisy paisleys on my gown-               hand-drawn.

& you son, in Vietnam?

                 Blood-red poppies on the ground-          I'm dead and gone.
                                                                                I'm dead and gone.

Question

I know my hair continues to grow tho' not for long when I'm dead and gone finger and toenails sprout out slow but here's a thought to linger on it's only a theory yet I have a query when six feet down in hallowed ground will wax still appear in both my ears if I'm not here or no longer around?

Premium Member Springtime Dreams

As the sun shone brightly, glowing Lighting trails of mystery Oh, the dreams of idle treasure Filled the soul in me But I have lost those dreams from springtime Every one now dead and gone And when the darkness overtakes me I will remain without a song

Dead and Gone

I’m loosing you
Her voice went out
Muffled by hospital walls
Again she said
I’m loosing you
But there was no reply
Please don’t go
Her voice high pitched
Reached out just like
A safety line
As though her words
Could bring him back
But nothing could be heard
I’m loosing you she said
Into a cell phone
With the battery dead
