Lamenting Life Lost Before Mine Untimely Death

Lamenting life lost before mine untimely death

Last rays of wicked flickering candlelight
even to this present day 
(October 4th, 2023)
lxiv anniversaries marking birth
emotions of ambivalence self directed at me,
and family of origin diatribes still career,
within psyche of Matthew Scott Harris -
less plain as day when prominent dearth
of attentiveness, compassion, empathy,
et cetera totally absent 
without leave, and

Poe's Untimely Demise

*Note 
I had to bring this one back, though I've been posting mostly new writes here that PS hasn't seen before. This poem has been edited many times over the years. I consider it to be among my best. The meter and rhyme structure are borrowed from the final stanza in the famous Poe poem,

Untimely Death

On the hard cement, she lay
Her dark hair was matted, and her skin was grey
At her side was a soulless shoe
Her face, beaten black and blue
Her clothes were very tattered and torn
Everything about her looked well-worn,
She was well known in this street
Where she played the violin, so haunting and sweet
Something did not feel right today
She

Untimely Acceptance

I was suff'ring from cold, her hand
            which felt so soft was in my hand;
Her company was so pleasant:
            'God! Stop the time!' was heart's demand.

Time passed quickly as could be,
  

Untimely Whims

Intense and absurd is the ecstatic sorrow of Fall,
Could it be ephemeral craze or the rust within my mind?
Easeful summers and beatific springs placate my angst… 
Balmy feral winters palliate my soul and my sense, yet
Eylul remains the ufindable season of my earthly craze.  
Ruthless is the depth of the iceberg that depletes my

Untimely Session

Hello?
Anybody there?
Helloooo? 
Of course, no one answers when I beckon 

Spirit so fragmented, half of it probably traveled to Mars I reckon 
Jumped on the 7:20 shuttle and left me at Armageddon
Never been religious up until now 
But now I’m praying to the Heavens for a blessing  

Did that irresponsible swine want to teach

Oblivious Dawn Enters Untimely

Thirsty rain smooches ground keenly,
sprinkles love to turn it fertile land.

Flowers blush gazing at their deep foreplay
and pretend to fall asleep 
providing privacy.

Wind flatters as a bracing feather blanket,
waltzing diligently to their melodic rhythm;
Whole night relishes playing hide and seek, 
willingly colliding with trees to create fun;
Wishing them good luck for intimate night,
with wavering smile

2020: Green Leaves Fall Untimely

About the state of hearts fluctuating in flame
Without desires - dreams - but youths to die
The world has narrowed us in worries
The flower of roses wither & die young
& the arrows of misfortunes cut through ribs
Let the curvature of our souls have mercy
In spite of it scars & beauties
the raptors are bereaved
Sorrows do not rest

My Precious Flower

Someday when my land is more fertile 
And my gardener is ready to toil
I shall welcome you my precious flower 
And nurture you in my soil

Faced with responsibility and emotion
Humbled by the reality of obligation 
I am compelled to be a coward 
Too afraid to make you my own 

I am a poor and naive

Untimely Motherhood

A man who lived every bit of thirty 
Professed his love for me 
And I a girl not more than seventeen
Believed his words to be 

He claimed to be what he was not 
And wasted my youthful years 
My trust I gave a mighty lot
So young and full of tears 

A mother's burden upon my

A Sweet Child's Untimely Death

A Sweet Child's Untimely Death

Windswept leaves blown upon abandoned house doorstep 
there rests in peace, as if morning mail. 
Driveway empty aside from one old red broken tricycle, remnants left behind by the last family living there after the death of their child.
Alas, Fate created this lonely and tragic scene, with its sorrows now flown

Your Untimely Death

Thirty four years ago life as I knew it would change forever. The chimes you may hear are annoying sound of music. But as the wind blows the chimes make a noise, I hear your voice. The wind is comforting to me as if your arms are wrapped around me. Your untimely death has changed

Untimely Reaped Souls

Today the heavens are filled with souls untimely reaped by ignorance and hate!*

Untimely Arise

You've been gone for a decade, plus two
Remission you were already in when met
Recently learned the truth
Why did you decide to not inform me?
Did you think I would just walk away?

I would've never forsaken you
My love would never allow me to
I refuse to accept that the choice was just your's
You wanted to feel if "hope"
