SADNESS FOLLOWS ME

Source:mizakeuchiha-blog

Sadness follows me

wherever I go.

It haunts me

in all its forms.

There’s no escape

from its long arms.

I close my eyes

but feel its long shadow.

ARE WE ALONE?

ARE WE ALONE?

Are we truly alone?

Friends and family.

Are they with us?

Beside us every day?

I can feel them.

A thickness in the air.

A soft touch.

A slight breeze.

Is my brother gone?

Or is he with me?

I believe he is.

He chuckles at my blunders.

He laughs at my jokes.

He cries when I’m hurt.

Yes, he is with me.

Always.

Forever.

CRYSTAL CHANDELIER

CRYSTAL CHANDELIER

Crystal chandelier of mine.
I love your sparkle and shine.
You bring back memories long gone
when life hadn’t been so far gone.
Remember the parties we used to host?
Fancy guests arriving from coast to coast.
Music and laughter were the rules of the day.
But now all that are left are the bills to pay.

A GARDEN

Frozen in place.

Dripping tears for centuries.

Memories of a lifetime.

Praying for salvation.

A frown for eternity.

A garden for The Dead.

THE DEAD GAME

SO HAPPY TOGETHER

A beautiful couple.

So happy together.

Fun times.

Sad times.

Good memories.

Unhappy losses.

New house.

Children.

Grandchildren.

Parties.

Funerals.

So happy together in life.

So happy together in death.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2016 are dead and gone.
Mourning can be such fun.

A BLANKET OF RED

Nordic landscape

A blanket of red

covers the landscape.

Fragrant and soft

as it protects and serves.

A place of comfort

and a place to sleep.

A keeper of memories

of the lost tower.

What was once a stronghold

is now a carpet of beauty.

MEMORIES

nemfrog

“Rome. Palazzo Spada. Colonnade, 1632, by Francesco Borromini.” Baroque architecture and sculpture in Italy. 1912,

Walk through the pillars

and into another century.

Feel the vibrations

of footsteps in the past.

Hear the laughter

of Roman guests.

Touch the statues

reaching for the sky.

Smell the sweetness

of memories long gone by.

DARK THOUGHTS

1. WATCH THE NIGHT

   The clouds circle around.

   Bringing the moon closer.

   Lighting up the windows.

   Where faces watch the night.

   DARK SHADOWS

   A castle where spirits walk.

   Darkness hides in corners.

   Old fragrances float in the air.

   Shadows follow without footsteps.

   And sighs fill the empty spaces.

MY WORLD

A beautiful world it is.

LOOK FORWARD

The world we leave behind.

Adventures enjoyed.

Stories told.

Memories to be savored.

Don’t look back.

Drive on.

Look forward.

To the future.
