Let it Be

Let it be, that I may someday touch the stars. When all time for me has expired, and the soul begins to part. Guide me through the heavens, where life one day began. A perfect creation, molded right out of our Fathers loving hands. by Robert M. Hensel http://wheelierecord.tripod.com Rights: The author grants visitors to [...]

A star has been plucked from the sky. The sky is now dimmer. It happened on June 25th. A day, we will always remember.

For Farrah (Fawcett)

A great beauty has passed from this life. Of good times and sometimes toil and strife. Some will say that she went to a better place. Look at the blue sky or a white cloud, you will still see her face.

My Saddest Day

It all started when in at five past midnight Now I am lying stiff and cold Deep in troubled dreamless sleep. Cotton wool stuffed in my nostrils, I cannot breathe. A rag tightening my jaws together, I cannot protest. My feet bound together, Surely there is no escape this time round. Granny chose they dress [...]

Tales from the Crypt

Guest — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 04:10:34 +0000

Once upon a weary night Whence old moon pondered Burning away her silver light In days of yore she hath decorated Perched amongst the wandering craven Weaved tales of tales begotten “Look on thy lands so tender They speaketh unto minds moved Of streaming springs and bitter kings That hath paved the path of yore [...]

By the River

(For Eric) You said that dad always liked to take you fishing. You had the patience to sit and wait and watch. Crowds of words didn’t chatter in your head and the squawk of crows was enough to settle your need for language. Your landscape was rural—as factual as a barbed hook. Your talent was [...]

The Burial of Carol Joy Beglau

giraffe777 — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 06:54:48 +0000

by: Walter Wykes (1969- ) It seems fitting that the men you knew in life perform this task These are no strangers struggling with the rocky earth no hired men with power tools It is your sons and grandsons your daughters’ husbands who make a place for you with a shovel and their hands originally [...]

Grave of the Dead

Anna — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 23:34:51 +0000

By Kalyani Rajalingham Like a rose in the mire, bereft of courage to spare, Let men bemoan their inhumanly ways, Let them be victims of their proper malice, For gold has the power to crush mighty pillars, And in the hands of greed’s bloody ways, Lets grass grow over graves of follies past, To entomb [...]

You granted me childhood Allowed me to err You showed me life Revealing the secrets You read my soul Unwarranted love ******* You took a path I could not follow A right reclaimed and granted a thousandfold ******* Time, re-created, Is now a gate onto the future And beyond that gate Your future has now [...]
