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

No More Close Shaves

This grave with barber Bob is blessed ~
He was a cut above the rest!

fall

fall sky littered with leaves red few young greens kiss empty nest worn winds heave sighs of lost hope bidding adieu - laid to rest.

Peace amidst War

A frosted kiss under a mistletoe
Between me and my warring foe
Let booming guns be laid to rest
With folded hands a peace request
Till Christmas chimes are over

Premium Member Zen mode

there is no seeking
because the seeker
who once was
has been laid to rest

all that that now is
is effervescence of bliss
renewing its pulsations
within body apparatus

Freedom Released

mind de-fortified
thoughts unchained
scattered voices drowned
feelings left unbuttoned
desires laid to rest
eyes shut forever
emotion of salvation claimed
climax of soul-ace

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

Premium Member Cold Shoulder

Chocolate ice cream, you've been waiting,
But my temptation is abating..
I've laid to rest the chocolate ooze,
Today, there's another one I choose.
Sending regards to both bean and cow,
Caramel crunch is my main squeeze now.

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?

Premium Member EMPTY BENCH BECKONS

Under bare maple boughs, 
sits an empty bench
its peeling green slates beckon~
a lonely parentheses 
above leaves, laid to rest
beneath silent, frigid winter sky.

But tranquility dwells in this place~
my soul finds peace in this space.

Premium Member Reflections

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.

Chalk outlined love

As I turn away, no tears left to cry
We should’ve talked—I tried before goodbye
The love we laid to rest, now marked in chalk
Not all your fault, not mine—we both did our best
I keep what’s left locked deep inside
A place in me where you still hide

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...................

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!

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.

Premium Member Laid To Rest

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

Till I Am Laid To Rest

If our life is predestined and our fate preordained
Why stress and strain, why live a life of drudgery
Oh, why toil in vain, why to the grindstone be chained,
Let's indulge in a life of slothful luxury.

Life of a Man

LIFE OF A MAN.
Is this perfect square
First is your arrival on earth
Second is when you start to
Use your sense
Third is when the world expect
To see you shine
Forth is when you are finaly
Laid to rest.
These square is perfect
But man remains imperfect.

Soon the day will come when I will be with the father above. Sharing in his never 
ending love. When I am laid to rest I will not have to worry did I pass the test. Only 
God knows I did my best now that I am in heaven all my burdens are laid to rest. I 
think this poem is one of my best.
