Fifteen Years ~ In Loving Memory – #poetry

Fifteen years, in the blink of an eye

How time has passed, and still I cry

God called you home, not on a whim

The time had come, to be with Him

And though we needed you, right here

He needed you more, that much is clear

And when I look up, to see the stars

I know one twinkle, is where you are

Shining down upon us, our guiding light

Always in our hearts, forever bright

 

In loving memory of my Uncle Gino (1953-2003), a man who showed me the true meaning of kindness.  I miss him every day…

Keeper of the Corpses – #poetry #OctWrite #OctPoWriMo

Tags

Beyond the city, in the blackest night
Lives the grim reaper, sickle in hand
Keeper of the corpses, rumors say
Bones line gardens, over which he stands

One by one, they’re brought to his castle
Taken too soon, by the latest plague
Piled on each other, no room for more
Why he enjoys this, is clearly quite vague

Count on him, by the light of the moon
You needn’t make an appointment
It’s first come, first served, anytime of day
Just remember, he’ll leave you disjointed

We begin from flesh

Return to the earth as bone

Awaiting entrance

Hoping, as we, mere mortals

End, with the sheer grace of God

Friday Fantasy ~ The House of Howls – #OctoberWriting

Tags

No one asks, where the howls come from

The screams, the forsaken, echo, and thrum

A mysterious glow, envelops the house

No one dares near it, not even a mouse

For evil lies heavy where no man has been

The howling of spirits, releasing their sin

Cast away these beasts, ungodly, at best

Immortal creatures, no longer blessed

Demons, each Lucifer, an evil disgrace

Still fight for their right, on this Earthly space

Ah
Autumn
Colors change
Matching my mood
I become her slave
Red, orange, and yellow
Green fades into the distance
Easily, my soul is now hers
She bleeds me until she is replete
Ever mysteriously, I comply
