Premium Member Alarming

The alarm clock isn’t going off;
    it’s dead there on the stoop.
I fear the feral cats
    were in the chicken coop.

Molly

Molly tried to out live her past
But too many people knew 
And loved to gossip, so it grew
Death has freed her, at last

Swerve

Furry smear black with white
Aroma penetrating 
That smell tells my plight

To the One I Loved

Its time to let you go
We shall be free, soon
To roam, our plains
Separated, in this life
Together, in my heart
Always

The Other Side

I loved, I laughed, I cried
I felt the ocean, watched the sky
I'm happy on The Other Side
Because I live, I did not die.

Like the butterfly emerges
From the dark cocoon to light,
We through Death- the passageway,
Burst forth to another Life.

Hello Goodbye

In life we laugh
In death we cry
We say hello
We say goodbye
We’re born to live
Yet, we live to die

Premium Member A Heavy Light Thought

Gravity is telling time 
line by line
my future is told
but I will rest assured
death lightens the load.

Celluloid End

Lovers lips promise despair
The needle-
Full of poison,
Houses acid daydreams
Choices are made
This is a celluloid end.

To Be Alive

Why do we think
We are lucky
For still we are
Able to breathe

Knowing
In the wrong place
Of the wrong time
Never been

Where all our destinies lie

Death Becomes Me

Once I was zoetic,
and words became life

But now I am dead
—and death becomes me

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2016)

Shadow of the Scythe

I finally let my breath out, relieved that the scythe had come and passed, only to turn away and fall down the flight of stairs.

Life’s an anthology…
death written once

The chapter elusive
