Short Suicides Poems

petals to recite
stems, handed my beloved
thorns for suicides...

shades of bog on the old cars hide,
shiny still as off she rides,
a coat of jam until,
she shines brightly still,
no head on suicides,,,
the thrill,
denied...

Where does laughter go
when the smiles are gone

Where does music go
when stripped of its song

Where does credence go
when truth suicides

Where do voices go
—when breath is denied

My eyes are open yet I see nothing
because there is nothing to see,

I go to my job and stare at the clock
there's nothing that I want to be,

I long to be conscious when I am
asleep
perhaps in my dreams I am free,

I seem alive but I'm really half-dead
and my path is strewn with debris....

If all the internets 
In all the world
Went down
And never came back up
How many suicides 
Would this make?


If all the families
In the world 
knew 
The internet
Was never coming back up
How many family murders
Would happen?

If all the cell phone towers
in the world
broke
Would there be any
reason to live at all?...

Beyond the gates,
Where the old bakery stood,
Was a memory of cold hands and 
The saving glittering gems of the jelly doughnut.
Then late for practice and asthmatic from suicides.
My mother's voice calling in the wind.
When is it all reconstructed the right way?
Under what gray moon do things flutter with meaning
As deep as our bones?...

September 27th
You died today
Your life just slipped away
Maybe souls exist and I’ll see you again
Pretty lies we tell ourselves but it’s all pretend
My tethers to this world are growing thin
I often wonder why the say suicides a sin
The world with out you has grown a little grim
I know I need time to grieve
But it’s hard when there’s no time to breath...

Listen to poem:

Colour of the  rose that I left with the note.
reddened eyes reading what I wrote.
Instructions for funeral readings I want spoke.
my motives and reasons I quote.
suicides my option the knife to my throat.
one single crimson drop lands on my coat.
nothing can stop me now,  my depression had no antedote.


Very dark comp entry Its what came with Crimson 26072016...

The latest survey
eighty suicides per day
by our Veterans

Such a big disgrace
CBS investigates
this whole cover up

These folks fought for us
no one's taking care of them
they would rather die

Someone should be held
accountable for each one
who takes his own life

If they had something
that they could look forward to
they won't want to die

There's hope in Jesus
message needs to go across
that bad times don't last...

A fire inside,
burns within.
Too many times I've cried,
I die yet again.
Hope is unknown,
sometimes waking is surreal.
Suicides are shown,
My pain wont heal!
I sing the sorrow,
Life isnt tangible.
I cant wake tomorrow,
I'm so full...
FULL OF PAIN!!!!
somebody help me through this nightmare,
somebody kill my fright.
Do you still you care,
If i cried would you hold me throughout the night?
Because i love you,
I cannot make it through......

nostrils filled with the asphalt rain 
sewer systems and whirlpool drains 
shadowed sun downs by one oclock
flashing lights and city cops 
wailing sirens in traffic rush 
taxi cabs and commuter bus 
when will all the chaos stop 
suicides from building tops 
drive by shootings hit and run 
abondonded buildings home for some 
underneath the neon lights 
murder death kill records heights 
when will all the madness end 
a vicious cycle starts again....

the new norm
people seem more angry
out of sorts with each others
dissatisfied with life

the new norm
grandparents are two dimensional
seeing their grandchildren on screen
manners are out of date

the new norm
thank you notes are unheard of
appreciation is answered with “no problem”
people sit next to each other and speak through text

the new norm
more suicides
unhappy people
Utube is raising the children
Their parents can barely feed themselves...

In despair,
beyond-pain, I will watch my dreams
in rimless eyes of wet faces.

The lake had been sending back
the white and black shrouds
everyday.

They were jumping one by one
old and young,
from the twisted planks
holding geraniums.

A warm prayer on the lips,
what was left worth enduring ?
The innocence, the guilt, the shame ?

Clinging to bloody lumps of happiness
who is going to have a last laugh ?
Time is breathing gloom,
body is attached to a pole.
