Death

When i think about death it isnt something that scares me, rather it gives me a sense of hope, peace even. I understand people who are afraid of death, as it can be terrifying and unpredictable, but thinking of it as an escape, an opportunity to restart. I believe in reincarnation, I think that we all get a second chance at life.

But i also believe that were able to choose what we want in the afte...

G r i e f


Grief is indeed annoying

As well as troublesome


Grief is full of sorrow

No matter the cause of it


But let’s focus on the death part shall we?

No matter the words I use

Or the pages I fill

I will never accurately describe grief for me

Or anyone else

It is un...

Goodnight, Not Goodbye

Stars shine solitary

Lovely daughters lost their mother

Smile as they search for her

Among their average days


Quiet but not conservative

She sought her sunken ship

Now every night her daughters sigh

A goodnight is not goodbye


The daughters are now mothers

As they have children of their own

Their days are full of joy and demure

A growth from gardens sown


A second chance to be a mother

To welcome...

King

The Artist commonly known as Prince gathered us all together to get through this thing called life. I thought life meant forever until I heard there was an afterworld. You didn’t buy it.


I still remember the day you casually said that you didn’t believe that there was any life after death.


You calmly explained your version of dust to dust as I seethed inside because I thought you were so. Very...

My Lover

‘but, ah, my lover, we’ll scatter the clouds

and as my disc flys, we’ll laugh to the ground

we’ll follow the sun

my light as it shines

your beautiful face, will forever be mine’


‘i will catch your disc, as it clatters the ground

then you and i, my lover be found,

we’ll shift the winds, with your beautiful sound’


‘no! hyacinthus, my lover be found,

we still need to fly, up with the clouds!

Reticence

This simple rule the world abides

That all which lives will surely die

Yet bear this well upon your heart

For death is but a seed for start


New life breathes from final breaths

Beginnings birth from graceful deaths

The setting sun will always rise

And spread it’s warmth across the skies


So know that you are but a part

Of the truest, grandest work of art

Your legacy lives on sublime

In reticent e...

You Said

You said forever

And I believed

You said you loved me

And now you’re gone

You said remember me

And I said always

You said move on

And I said never

You said to find a new life

And I cried for hours

You said you were gone

And I said you can’t be

You said I’ll be fine

And I said not without you

You said that I’m forever yours

And I smiled

You said I made you laugh

And I said you made me smile

The one we lost

His death came way too early, we wanted him to stay. If you think about it though, he's the one to get away. away from all his troubles, away from his cares, I know he went to heaven and

I hope to see him there....

Never Know

I think you’d be surprised

To see your picture on my phone.

To know that you mean more to me

Than I had ever shown,

To believe what you’d suspected

About how you made me feel:

Seen - in a world of people, who

Don’t even know I’m real.


I think the way light travels,

Spanning space and time,

Is the best way to articulate

How we resonate in my mind:

Although it’s not apparent

Now - I feel the warmth...

Dad

You were a better friend than role model

I liked it though, it meant I could

Choose my bedtime

Eat junk

Drink

Bring questionable people over


I never knew much about you

You never opened up

Except with the aid of the bottle

Till that became more often than not

I didn’t like seeing that

So I kept distance


When you passed

I lost my best friend

I mourned for the father

The father you could be...
