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.

Our Love Still Burns

By: Jon Rodger Weston Dinnebeil
Our love was slowly dying,
And to this very day.
I regret all of the problems,
because now, you’re gone away.
I still here you whisper,
My name so soft and dear.
And though I cannot see you,
I know you’re watching near.
I feel our love still burning,
So deep inside my soul.
Filling every crevice,
Drowning every hole.
All the good [...]
Goodbye Michael

Goodbye Michael
A star has been plucked from the sky.
The sky is now dimmer.
It happened on June 25th.
A day, we will always remember.
Never again to see Michael’s smile light up the skies.
Never again to see him moonwalk across the stage as his fans cries.
Never again to hear him sing Billie Jean.
To the roaring sound of his [...]
For Farrah (Fawcett)

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.
Movements like those of a gazelle in flight.
Hair that shone like gold on a moonlit night.
Eyes [...]
Empty Room
Empty Room To my love while where’re apart I wake up nightly in the dark I reach to find you… but you’re not there Your beautiful smell has left the air Now my room is dark and lonely I start to cry for my one and only I close my eyes to see your face Then back to sleep with no embrace My dreams [...]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 me up in my favourite suit,
But this time there [...]
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 observation and from the fishing camp in upward look [...]Daring Time

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 begun

Ama Dablam – Mother’s Necklace
January 5, 2009 · Filed Under Death Poems, Funeral Poems, In Loving Memory Poems, Poems of Bereavement · Comment
Mother’s necklace
Evening star
On canyon rim
Orion’s image
In Nepal land
A mountain’s love
Were you, my child
Motionless trees
Stood the sky
On moonlit nights
For you, my child
Horizon your prayer
Waterfall your music
The splendor cathedral
Your life, my child
Ama Dablam, a necklace offered
To me, your flesh and blood
When you said, a day resplendent
Fatality broke your song
- by Els van den Eynde
From Me

In Loving Memory Poems
From Me
If you see a sunset, it’s me, smiling
From behind it.
If I go away far, and you see a star
If you find it,
I’m inside it.
You can fold it, and hold it forever,
If you hide it.
If our words and worlds sever — if ever
I lose you;
If two thousand light-years or seven
Confuse you;
Remember me. [...]
