Premium MemberIt tolls for thee


this is the third time
hubby’s rung the cancer bell
since twenty nineteen

we’ll never lose hope
his cancer can’t be beaten
and cherish each day

I now love to write
poems to invoke laughter
and to make folk smile

life is for living
humour makes a difference
use YOUR pen wisely

fills
me like
still sorrow
as birds return
to nests from sad
sky bringing on their
wings the distant music
of the drifting clouds from
the departing day sinking slow
in the horizon I hear in the wind
on which floats the chime of a far
away bell ringing a  soft voice of
someone calling that sets me to
a journey inward where I find

For Whom The Bell Tolls

To write
like me
You must 
think like me
And see
like me
And feel
like me

To write
like me
You must 
ask not tell
For words
rung clearly
By fortunes

Premium MemberBELL TOLLS RESPONSE

Darkness beyond reach
Disobedient teach
Wrath having no respect
Adjusting atmosphere elect
Bells and Tolls
Scorns in thorns
Fire in anger
Life’s short moments
Whom in doom
Happenings centered at noon
Tolls for you
Didn’t pursue
Earth craters separate
A world full of hate
Human Create
Doom on the hour
Time expired
Devastation for all

Premium MemberTolls the count


As the world community
Asks Israel to stand down.
Hamas murders with impunity
Then flees underground.

Isreal lives under scrutiny
And still held to account.
While terrorists have freedom
To pass their AKs around.

Free countries need unity
Not gloomy storm clouds.
When we stand together
Evil cowers in a shroud.

Thus, let us speak fluently
Yet justly so out loud
For murder there's no Immunity
And God tolls the

treatment commences
cancer eradicated
we remain hopeful

the bell’s rung three times
radiotherapy done
life begins again

live for the moment
we are never complacent
cancer may return

cherish your loved ones
embrace life, it’s all too short
cancer is a thief!

I
F
only I
could navigate
to stay so far away
from the idle brambles.
Transcending into oblivion.
Melding onward in transition,
Forcibly blocked continuance,
A mouse stymied in a maze.
Not any forward progression
My endeavour, to look back,
To retrace the journey so far.
Abandon the will to proceed.
Return from whence we were.
No wise, guiding light to follow.
Search for a better way forward.
Seeking from my Spirit

Premium MemberHellboy and For Whom the Bell Tolls

With my hands I rip off my horns
I wish to be a cambion no more
I fought the demons, dragons and behomeths
and to my favor is the score

So through the towns of hell I walk
only to find a little old mansion
I enter and there behold 
is a pyramid, sphere and cube to my passion

For whom the

The Bell Tolls - a Tribute To All Those Who Have Died During the Pandemic

We stand apart on pavements, heads bowed as you pass by,
towards the dappled graveyard where with God, in peace you’ll lie.

Before you were a stranger, but in death you’re so much more,
a fallen comrade who fought our mortal enemy in a terrifying war.

We come together, a kingdom united in battle against a common foe.
and mourn

I 

hear now

in twilight hour 

on the last wind afloat

far away sound, as the bell tolls,

ringing the luring voice of someone’s call, 

I perceive within the soul say,

it’s for

me.

The Writing on Wall Calendar of Eternity
David J Walker

Do the dearly departed keep track 
Of the days since being 
Laid away to rest in a grave
Forever?

Are there spirit calendars on Golden walls
Marked with x’s by disembodied fingers
as if they were dying 
for a weekend to come?

My father-in-law, 
who left just us a week ago
May have

For Whom the Bell Tolls

I stumbled across
A stumbling block
Five Stolpersteine
Where a family used to live
Surname Jaffe
Made me think about
Think about those
Those the bells didn’t toll for
Made me think
Think about them
Them the bells doesn’t toll for
Them the bells doesn’t ring for
For me
The alarm clock rings
Think about that

You are told there is no pandemic.
You are told it’s all a hoax.
You are told it’s a deep state conspiracy.
Three thousand deaths here, 
               three thousand deaths there,
pretty soon you’re talking about real people.

And then you learn it will end in

The cadence of the knell on the wind Lord
Has folk peering from windows and doors
A reminder of fickle mortality
Peals forlornly, for whom the bell tolls

The screams of the Angels, are deafening
Those with the conscience to hear
Dark Winter, cuts colder than ice
Unfolding, the fear of all fears

Media controlled information
Has us fighting brother to brother
As the puppeteers

~Aloft the pattern flight 
The precious eagle flows 
Flying high visions of mountains past 
Turbulent feathered wings do grasp

The skies sowing eversole  by and by soars
 radiant vibrant fluffy pillow clouds pearl white
Floating high to the stratosphere soaring high
 in the atmosphere eagle soars bright

Champagne orange sky scrolls boils 
Sunshine burning lights spies
