There was an air of emptiness when I went to see you today Just seeing you there with the flowers that lay You looked so peaceful and serene The hour passed in a state like a dream.
Saying goodbye is never easy It's the hardest thing to do But what hurts even more Is not the chance to say it to you.
I sit inside the graveyard, Ankles crossed by flowers, Letters littered at my feet, I've sat this way for hours.
There is a new star in the sky tonight Now that you have gone from mortal sight. You have joined the angels in the heavens above Free to soar like a butterfly as peaceful as a dove.
40 days been and gone -since you left us all alone, A void-filled presence follows me, reminds me of your memory; Your sweetest smile, reassuring embrace, Your knowing look -which always set the pace.
It hurt when you left. It hurt so very much. I know that you're gone. But I miss your gentle touch. I'd cross the oceans. One through seven. Just to get. your taste of heaven. I miss your lips.
Today's my baby brother's birthday you see. Fourteen years old he would be. Few photos I have of him our sis and me. The last one just before I broke my arm falling out if next door's tree.
You are the softest angel You are the brightest star I would travel for eternity Just to find where you are You are my guiding wisdom Your my fight I find within You gave me strength and passion...
Another year has come and past, Another year, now home at last, My drouth's for you my pretty one.
Note: this is not lovey dovey and a bit gloomy really. A sad political valentine.
I remember my great grandmother, But I know none of the family before her. She passed away when she was one hundred and one, So many things she saw before her life was done.
The day was simply gorgeous The weather was a wish I know you stood there by his side On a day you wouldn’t miss. I went to see you Thurs.
I woke up this morning and thought of you like I’ve done so many days I wondered where you’d be tomorrow and where you’d be today.
For Queen Ester Tribble (My Great-Grams, 104 yrs, wisest person I knew) R.I.P --------------------------------- An angel, a butterfly Things that signify who you are Soft and gentle You comfort me...
Read my name on stone, forever here i lay. Look up to the night sky, i'm never far away. If i don't wake up, do not shed a tear for me. Decisions define us all, but right here i'll always be.
I am the whisper in your ear, on dark and lonely nights. I am the breeze across your brow, and the hope you hold so tight. I am the brightness in the shadows, the ray of peaceful light.
My fire went out, The day that you left, And losing your soul, Left us bereft. Pen to paper once was, The easiest thing, But then when you passed, I gave up writing.
Back on the graveyard shift, Oxford's finest, Trying to find a good place to spend, Half an hour, maybe the whole night.
#nightdwellers Gravestone poetry, Monolithic scribing made In the witching hours, privately On your own, Sitting with your back, To a gravestone.
This is the poem I wrote myself to read out at my Grandad's funeral tomorrow. (Some things are personal, so might not make sense) A man of selfless acts, time and again.
My grandad fought upon them fields, where poppies bloom and grew,. Where men would stand and fight, and be friends with all but a few,. Gun shots sounded, screams were heard,.
#adventchallenge You are a star in the sky, Dear friend of mine. I gaze upwards-see you shining, I never heard you whining. Been through a lot-my friend, I was by your side till the end.
A dark man, in a dark land, with a dark hand; delivering darkness. In a dark land, a dark hand; delivering darkness. From a dark hand; darkness. As dark as night, darker still; as dark as death.
So I die My life now away And your proper goodbye Is to forget. A weak heart With much power Has caused us to part And you are mute.
