Poetic T Nov 2014
He attends the graves, a tear is shed
As he prunes the weeds that grow forth
Names,
Dates,
Year
Of there death,
Freshly dug, not long for this world
He buries them alive
He watches there eventual time past
Life,
Death,
Choosing
The last breath they take,
He sheds a tear upon each passing
"A wooden plague"
Hammered deep to their passing
He looks upon fresh earth,
Handfuls smothered upon his self,
He cries through dirt drenched skin, these
Tears
Are
Purity
That fall upon now dead earth
He gazes upon the many plagues
That read of each moment they are now past,
He sends families the paper of passing
A  picture,
A  moment,
Frozen
In families eyes, The passing he let breath
Breathe its last,
He is the grave digger,
He has many plots  fresh  for the living to die
He will shed many tears that pass In his graveyard
Of the living, and the now **dead.
He buries you in a spot, looked after while death waits, he mourns above

The imaginary character
that makes a young soul
believe in it.
Bringing the character
back to life
with a clap.
The touch
that makes the adult soul
believe in it.
Bringing
the heart of the victim
back to life with a touch.
The whisper
that makes an old soul
believe in it.
Bringing the soul back to life as a memory.
Some fleeting moments pass by-
             like golden hues
                     carrying magic
that is only felt
              when all comes to an end.

you left us
nearly two weeks ago
and all i can say i've learned from this
is that life is unfair
and takes the best people
when we least expect it

never again will i hear the sound of your laugh
or see the raising of your eyebrow
when you hear a silly joke

i don't know where you are now
but i hope you're happy
i hope the constant supply
of black crown is enough to keep you sane
and i hope you hear our silent prayers to you

because we all miss you
your soul was so warm and kind
even though you thought
you couldn't be loved by a single soul

everyone loved you
i am not the only one who will miss your laugh
and your smile
and your kind nature

we are all broken

maybe again
i'll see you
hear you
laugh with you

i don't know the exact spot where the sun
meets the horizon
but i think
that's where i'll find you
I keep trying to write for Sean but I can't seem to find the words for him.

We scattered to the night
like diamonds and stars
owls of forever
never to be seen or heard

from again, my friends
went off, I carried their words
in my pockets, on my heart
those burning treasures

the years of bones and
making it alone
The private hours that gnaw
At the days like lost battles

Humiliations too common
In a cruel world like this one
We scattered to the night
Like lost lovers of literature

Desecrated by the seasons
The kind of wet deep down sorrow
That each broken heart multiplies
Here is where every speech ends

Here is what they don’t say
What happens after the story
Here the star is black
And the light empties out
Even of the shadows.

it's hard not to bump into ghosts in
your house. you've been here
fifty years, or more, and there's
time caught in the marigold
wallpaper; minutes stuck between the
pages of the books you keep
but never read.

you're the unwilling curator
of your own museum-
you have stacks and stacks of
gardener's weekly,
- could build a fort out of them -
but instead sit in the middle looking
lost. you ask after people who've been
dead years, and perhaps it's because you've
seen them in the mirror.

(outside is the tree your
husband planted in the 60s,
spliced out of two and thus
unique. you stare at it sometimes,
and maybe you're wishing for
something-
or maybe it's just out of
habit).

Nightlight bright,
She has a subtly shimmering smile
In the flurried snow of winter
As she climp-clomp
Passes by: home bound.

With pockets full of peonies
And daydream diamonds
Her words wash over you
And drip-drop wearily
Onto the canvas of cement.
It's a clouds pang
So deep dark night
Street dogs are barking
My solo pains are wounding
I am walking alone in the dark horizon
And my moon is sleeping soundly
Without living mine

@ Musfiq us shaleheen
without living mine, my moon is sleeping...

You are now safe in heaven,
Embraced by everlasting light,
And united in His glory,
A beloved land,
Where you will rest forever, away from sight.

As He walks you through,
Into a resilient sanctuary, free from harm,
Only to seek happiness,
And many blessings,
Bringing calmness, within His arms.

And you'll fly gracefully .... like a butterfly,
Fluttering from flower to flower,
Ever so lightly,
Into a world of serenity,
Overlooking the splendors of the cosmos.
