Rose

Death comes to all
Like a dying rose.
It is beautiful 
But full of sorrow.
Life is beautiful
But death
Death is gorgeous.

Love Is Sleeping Next To Death

Love is sleeping next to death
Quietly and peacefully

Better On Toast

side by side 
on the dusty bookshelf
twin jars of formaldehyde
slowly drying
in poison preserve
my heart always
to guard yours

China

Anything beyond heaven is nothing
We may harm anything
Life is mainfestly insane
The love seems personal elsewhere
as I crossed fire


Premium Member A Free Spirit

Once one foot into the grave

No more the chance a heart to save

But if a ghost you're not to be

One chance to set a spirit free

Premium Member Memory

fragile skin stretches
across the cheeks of death's dawn
beauty-marked weeping
I see only the groom now
peach sweet the memories rise
Form: Tanka

To One Away

in your absence we wilt 
like desert flowers 
in hollow canyons
blown by the wind to tilt 
and scatter our essence
amongst unholy sands
Form:

Deadly Love

Dear Death, to your irresistible greet I submit my breath and beat.

Premium Member Dickinson

Emily Dickinson was her name
To her – poetry wasn’t a game
She lived & loved through verse & rhyme
Her words will flow through all of time.

Premium Member Breath

your hands clasped in mine
as you whisper me goodbye 
teardrops I hold fast
as you slowly become breath 
of a moribund ember

Premium Member Don't Let Love Kill You

It seems like love just wants to kill you,
but don't ever let it still you.
Can you endure it any longer?
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Premium Member Time To Let Her Go

As her hand slipped into his for the last time
his tears began to flow…
for he knew
after a lifetime of holding her hands in his
it was time to let her go.

Mothering Sunday

Mothering Sunday
old men weeping, daffodils
at the graveyard gate

sons and daughters, motherless
everyone somebody's child

Premium Member Heaven Can Wait

He smiled through his tears as he felt her heart beat a little stronger
knowing his prayer 
today 
had been answered 
and heaven 
would wait a little longer.

They promised to love each other forever
They vowed their life would be one long honeymoon…
And it was…only they never could have anticipated
forever would come so soon.

a red rose
                                                       lying on a grave --
                                                         love is forever

below the moonlight
ripples gently radiate
two in love now share
captured by the lunar beam
enrichment to future bliss

No, my darling,

Death unable will be us to separate

For

Our souls have been interwoven  by

the hands of fate!

To Dream, To Die

I think my situation is finally sinking in.
I wish I wasn't stuck inside of this pathetic skin.

To dream, to die
Is it all the same?
A limbo where I
only whisper your name...

Angels Face

The Gods ,Whom mortal beauty chase,
Pale, Dimly, at the sight of her face.
A Beauty so rare, of elegance and grace,
Loving eyes that adorn an Angels face.   



Clement Hardy

Epitaph On a Nameless Grave

I've heard roots digging underground for me'

 they need my concentrated pain to blossom

 in whispered scent of angels bringing Spring

 and pure white Hope of finding ageless Love
Form: Epitaph

Live, Love, Die, a New

In this field a man gave his life,
Not for glory nor country,
but for the safe of his wife.

Now flowers grow where his head lay last,
Doomed to then die when this season has past.

Premium Member The Gambler

Darling, my love for you will never die--
    Just then, two shots rang out
      She heard him cry

  O! she groaned. Please don't go yet
    He smiled, then went ~ but won the bet
