Ball in the pocket,
Glass eye in the socket,
Ripped abs,
big dabs,
too many fingers in too many pies,
Zac Efron has a glass eye

The promise of new life is fulfilled

Wandering lonely as a cloud
He saw life, death, springs and fields
Loving lakes greenly
Loving roses redly
And people-
So tenderly
So sadly

Red leaf
with the stars,
falling.
Maroon dusk
crawling.
Twirling last
dance!
Prettier, livelier
than ever
before.

Verse
Conceiving himself to be dead,
He leaped like a ghost from his bed.
But finding no wings
Supporting of things,
He fell like a mortal instead.

as death is not corruptible, most rich folks confuse to leave good life.
as death is uncorruptible on earth, most rich folks confuse to rest.

If
Life is the prelude to happiness for the righteous
Then
Death is for him the symphony of bliss!

A life cut after time
alive and errors made
and lessons from sisters:
acceptance from Clotho -
a hand in weaving birth;
aware from Lachesis
that life is a wonder.

I know how the cycles of life, death, and rebirth can be unfair.
I know how it used to feel like they never showed they care.
I know how it feels when nobody at all wants to share.

Who can say when the last bell will chime
Only he knows when the end of time
Most the message won't heed
Some will gather what they need
While I just write some words that rhyme

To Hades, black as ink, our souls shall sink,
And all our lives are gone within a wink!
Yet fleeting! E’er so fleeting! Though it be,
So well we love what leave the Fates decree.

Whatever
I tried.
I cried.
I bleed.
Godspeed.
Haunted heart.
Impart.
Tears fall.
Feel small.
Gave up.
Mucked up.
Reality torn.
Well-worn.
Life; death.
no breath.

Time passes, few notice change,
More life, death, illness arranged,
Cemetery treks, mud covered soles,
Heads lowered, prayers unfold...
Rain
falls,
fog
sets,
New
Day,
No
regrets....

I often saw them
hand in hand
strolling past my window
I often heard their laughter
through the walls in the night
I often think of them
side by side
in death as they were in life
Rest In Peace.

Love, Hate, Life, Death,
The Rose is all of them enmeshed.
The blossom of Admiration grows,
As do the hateful thorns of Rose.
Accompanied by Spring in Life,
It follows the casket in death and strife.
