Death

Twenty two years ago
December twenty second,
two thousand eighteen
"star student" born...

In days to come, I know I will regret
not sitting by her bed, just to regale
a hurried rhyme...

I’m supposed to say goodbye
My words are in the tears I cry
My thoughts are in every pain I’m...

In the summer of 1968, while living in Santa Monica, CA;
I went to a very fine restaurant, for...

What once was a fire
Lies the ashes of my heart
I kept dancing
Lest I fell apart....

A journey at an end
At peace at last
A lost friend

Candles blow...

He was my best friend
Why did it have to come to an end?

In the gathering storm, I vividly heard
The sound of my heart audible steps leaping,

Nourish me sweet chile
In Gahenna rest awhile
Haunt Valley of Hinnom
Writhe obelisk...

I am the grim reaper,
the keeper of death,
no tear will be shed on my part,
the closer...

Tears dropping one by one
Praying this pain would be gone

Pencils draw pictures
in cocaine lies
straight lines,
pain I dated
she will...

He sits staring melancholy
The worn hollow in the sofa
That is opposite his chair
His...

The family had to bury a child today, yesterday, and decades ago...

The memory never fades......

I wonder what its like in heaven
It must be immensely vast
There surely has to be a queuing...

The dice of terror
Was cast that day
