Bad News, Morose NewsIt’s like being hit by a meteor
Where there’s no tomorrow
It is like doomsday, really
Where everything is ugly
And absolutely nothing is pretty
I just received the bad news
That my sister-in-law had died
Suddenly and extemporaneously
Without being sick tremendously
I...

Your being, everything you have
It's utterly sad and strange...

till death does us partI suppose we all have a lengthened life,
some alone,
some kind,
some hard fought,
some short,
and some long
And we all deal with death in a different way,

some by showing how they crumble,

Ode to NicoleLife is such a delicate dance.
I never even had a chance.
Getting older, everyone is gone.
Alone, I feel so alone.
My friends left long ago.
The streets are so unforgiving.
I wish I knew another way of living.
Weapons don’t...

DaveDisco ball of memories jostle for attention.
An oak tree of a man encasing:
Sunflower children's smiles and bear hugs
Dancing around the room forevermore...
Every piece of you, given so freely,
Now lives eternally......

Just One More TurnTo break a man's life down
into digits, to numbers,
might seem strange to you;
distant, or heartless, or just odd.
But that was just our way;
we'd both been dubbed 'robot'
at one time or another.
So that's what I'll do.

That was then, this is nowThat was then, this is now,
Your light shone so bright,
And yet now you’re gone.
That was then, this is now,
We were always together,
And now I’m all alone.
I was a broken mess when you found me,

In Darkness and DeathIn the silent, shadowed halls of night,
Where whispers dance with ghostly light,
Lies the realm where death does tread,
A sovereign land, where all fear to head.
Cloaked in darkness, a figure so still,
Its presence alone, enough to...

Death's WhisperIn earth's mournful sigh, the day does fade,
A quietus bow, as light to dark is made.
The sun descends; its fervor now grown still,
As night's embrace, a somber, haunting thrill.
Death's whisper cold, a solitary call,
To dance...

ReflectionsBack home, I ponder long on life.
Death is so final, no return.
I sit alone on my sheltered cosy porch,
And think of spring forget-me-nots,
Of roses dark as festive damask,
And swaying poppies red and gold.
Of summer figs...
