***
In the quiet halls, echoes the name, dear Fagan, lost in twilight's haze,
Once a feline knight, now a memory, in the heart's secret maze.
Playful fights, your eyes gleaming with mischief and delight,
Those moments are now tales of yore, fading in the night's gaze.
Your purrs, a melody, a lullaby softly to sleep I’d fall,
Now silence reigns, in the absence of your soothing phase.
Your shadow danced with mine, in the golden afternoon light,
Now it's just my lonely silhouette, lost in a daze.
Your whiskers, a compass, guiding you through life's maze,
Now they guide my tears, tracing paths on my face.
In dreams, I see you, Fagan, in fields of eternal chase,
Chasing butterflies, in heaven's vast, endless space.
Though you're gone, dear friend, your spirit never decays,
In my heart, you live on, Fagan, in love's eternal embrace.

A Ghazal Poem
In the quiet halls, echoes the name, dear Fagan, in twilight's haze,
Once a feline knight, now a memory, in the heart's secret maze.
Playful fights, your eyes gleaming with mischief and delight,
Those moments are now tales of yore, fading in the night's gaze.
Your purrs, a melody, a lullaby softly to sleep I’d fall,
Now silence reigns, in the absence of your soothing phase.
Your shadow danced with mine, in the golden afternoon light,
Now it's just my lonely silhouette, lost in a daze.
Your whiskers, a compass, guiding you through life's maze,
Now they guide my tears, tracing paths on my face.
In dreams, I see you, Fagan, in fields of eternal chase,
Chasing butterflies, in heaven's vast, endless space.
Though you're gone, dear friend, your spirit never decays,
In my heart, you live on, Fagan, in love's eternal embrace.

An angel in heaven
Sits high above
Longingly wanting
This life she was robbed
An angel in heaven
Sighs at her loss
As she silently watches
The ones that she lost
An angel in heaven
felt unimaginable pain
Forced by a monster
Treating her life with disdain
An angel in heaven
Turns and flutters her wings
Forsaking that life
Now her new journey begins.
An angel in heaven
Now filled with smiles and much love.
For those who shall miss her
She returns as a dove.

No age
no age at all
never a justification
a reason to placate us
just an implacable, non-negotiable theft
of love, histories and too much still to be
the solace, a skinflint’s compensation,
is that for a short while you had them
and they had you
and that was life
but that’s as much as you get
to try to make it through

I miss how you used to laugh
And inspired everyone else to do the same.
I miss your fearlessness. Your curiosity.
I miss how much you loved
to run and play games.
I miss a lot of things.
But what I miss the most is how pure you were.
Like the light from the midnight moon.
You were gone too soon, Innocence.

Gone too soon
My heart hurts
Like there isn’t room
For all the love inside
Until it breaks in two
Won’t you take me with you?

What reward awaits beyond
What lights shine upon the soul
Those who've suffered long?
Now gone,
Are you running free?
While we grieve, saddened
Crying tears we never let you see
In your place, a candle shines -- but
It will never burn as bright
As the light in your eyes
May you be at rest, now
Peacefully
Forever

Sometimes I imagine you
cold in the ground
Dead
Not because I hate you
and want you to be
Dead
But because I love you
and don't want you to be
Dead
And it makes me appreciate
that you are alive and not
Dead
And this mono-no-aware
will be with me until I am
Dead
