Memories

My memories
My mourning and frustration
is persistent decrepit
just like naked misty sucidal path 
that run through me.


Mourning Dove

I can't stand the sound of a mourning dove
Because it take me back Home
And I'm not there anymore

It's my favorite bird

Of the Mourning Day, Bangladesh

August comes, reminds
Of Nation's Father
Green field still holds the fresh blood!

the mourning dove coos
               a sad melody outside
               calming in life's grief

Grief

The pits of death
My broken heart
Skipping beats a warning
One day I guess my heart will stop
From living life in mourning.

safeguards a raindrop left by

Memory Lost

The narrow hall of mourning
pathway to my grief
Darkened by each memory lost
—there in stark relief

son coming home
black dress draped on bed
will she survive mourning


Dedicated to all the mothers who have lost a son to war.

Mourning No Loss

I weep not for you
I cry not for a failed hope,
a dream discarded,
but only sigh and lay these
small words at the feet of time.

say a solemn prayer
long before the mourning cries
yesterday is gone
fly with me September air

Mourning... - Tanka

heaven is heavy
with the tears of angels
shed for falling stars...
pain's knocking at heavens' gates
asking for its toll of salt...

Autumnal Sadness

Swallows migrate South...
dark birds in a starless sky
mourning motherland.

No Worries

A dam cracks open,
no water,
no flood.

Mourning doves coo on,
dry feathers.

Once more a high tide
sweeps away
nothing at all.

Mourning Birds

The sound of morning birds 
I hear
Is a soft and constant sobbing. 
I could not sleep the night before, 
You'd think that no one did.

Buttercup

I planted flower seeds
on my rabbit's grave
and they never came up.
But today, by the cross,
was a buttercup
and that is all I need.

Sixty-six stupid senseless stories,
Forty-five fearless fired fights,
Made my manly mourning matters
Even endlessness ends exclusively.

Premium Member The Old Magnolia Tree

You copped down the Magnolia tree,
it was one hundred years old, easily;
and now I am in mourning;
you should have given me a warning!

Eyes shine like moon 
Envelopes like cocoon
Face of teary monsoon 
Mourning loss of life
Reeling difficult time
Healing not in sight
