 wafer thin in copper bronze
 fallen ghosts of spring...

death's sting floods her tender eyes

  when he is laid to rest ~

He’s always done his level best...

Premium Member After the Funeral
Teacups by the sink.
Lamentations laid to rest.
I, a foetal curl, 
Breathing  in your life, now gone
Cocooned in your unwashed shirt....

These Gentlemen of Camelot
Laid to rest,
Beside his
Two brothers,
Here, we nest,
In providence
These gentlemen of Camelot
Sir Edward Kennedy,
May you rest in peace...

Here lies my auctioneer friend, Ron
One final ‘going, going gone!’
His gavel's laid at rest as well
We bid him now a fond farewell.

thoughts unchained
scattered voices drowned

desires laid to rest
eyes shut forever
emotion of salvation claimed

My Son William
Old rhymes are laid to rest .
Blue waters are refreshing.
The moment of clarity is like
the water to my breathe.

A garden and rose.
A circle and a fact.
The smell of food.

You sense it.
What a smile....

Rainbow Bunnies
a little rainbow bunny,
was never like the rest,
they taunted and they teased,
his heart was laid to rest,
he wound up really blue,
when people passed him bye,
his little rainbow tears,
they never saw him cry....

people liked her
not for her beauty,
but the sound of her laugh
the happiness it brought
leaving people chuckle
now she's gone
laid to rest
three years already
I can still hear
her laugh and 
it makes me chuckle...

Lost Love
amidst the snow, this flower lies alone;
a symbol of love laid at the wayside, out in th cold;
given by one loved one to another, but now laid to rest;
alone in the snow, this symbol of love lays;
this symbol of love;
lost....

My Misery
What an amazing depression
It's such a wonderful feeling
Not going to care anymore
What an amazing depression
Not doing anything again
My heart laid to rest forever
What an amazing depression
It's such a wonderful feeling...

Shredded Lives
The flick-flack of the shredded Flag, the bugle marking time

The Soldier laid to rest, midst those that went before

The crosses like snow-white trees, stunted before their Prime

In order, line upon line, do we never learn from War?...

Swan Song

I slid silently past
soft silenced down
laid in rest
amid fresh sprouted grasses
no viewing hours posted
only the few drifters
heads bowed
paddles idled
an homage
to nature’s beauty
spent.

I laid to rest my “Bucket” list, 
  my “to do” list, rather tattered. 
At my age, I am second to coexist, 
  my old brain is rather scattered, 
    having forgotten life goals that mattered.

Please Forgive Me
Her own words
Rang In her ears
Nothing would
Ever stop the pain
The words were said
The error made
Regret upon regret
Could never be undone
Moment of truth
Lie upon lie
Laid to rest
With these simple words

PLEASE FORGIVE ME......................

Cash
Johnny Cash was great.
He spread love amid hate.
The man in black, that's what they called him.
A beacon of light when the world is dim.
He was a man full of emotion,
And so i give him my devotion.
He was one of the best.
Now he has been laid to rest....

To Poetry Lovers
I like poems best with the dictionary laid to rest
With the last line in the story, " Sunrise to Glory"
When a simple "I love You," is all I need to do
I like poems best, the same as I like You!

              Forever  Real.......Forever True

Premium Member When Doves Cry
When doves cry
There are so many tissues
It's a blinding whiteness 
Whipping about
With white wet feathers
Falling asunder
And laid to rest
On the night grass below
Since doves only sob 
Under the stars
To mourn proper
The terminus
Of another day....

I sit at the ivy gates
Waiting to say goodbye
I should be sad 
Filled with hate 
It's not sarrow
But joy inside
Though all this sadness
Breaks my heart
You no longer bare the pain
The world will weep in your absence
It will no longer be the same
