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...
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...
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...
‘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!
withou...
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 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
You s...
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...
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...
I start every day by using cold water to wash my face
I start grieving you when the windows open up
And show me a green and blue world of small and large wonders
And I recall that I left you in the dirt.
And I feel like a highway flower
Battered by the roar and then wilted by the night
Calling out my own name to the noone out there for me
"Gloria, Gloria, Gloria"
As the summer comes to an end I ...
