Rest In Peace.

To rest under the heaps of earth cast by my very own,

A tear awakened the dying seed into a ponderous flower,

The weight of many a years hurled gently on my coffin,

And now I can finally rest in a wholesome heavenly bliss!

To rest under the salty waves of the beautiful blue sea,

Tossed aboard by my sweet children when I could no more be.

To be nibbled by the colourful fishes scaling across the oceans,

To wonder the deep mysterious seas and finally ride the currents...

To rest upon a pile of firewoods stacked neatly below me,

To be put alight by my very own son in tears and weary.

To rise up to the open skies like a furious dancing flame,

Finally flying free from all the burdens, fears and blames!

To finally rest in peace wherever I may be,

Tired from a long journey through unexpected realms,

To not breathe and not move, and not think anymore,

To not be scared or sad neither happy nor sore!

To just be,

FREE!

~Apology~

Papa Bear after a bath!

And here is an apology for what may have been,

For what rests unknown, dark and unseen.

It was a mistake, I assure you of my honest intentions,

I did not mean to hurt your feelings, or damage your emotions!

My heart did weep along with you,

But you could not look in my tear filled eyes, No!

Too filled with sorrow and engrossed in yourself,

You failed to notice how I loathed myself,

To bring to you what never should have been,

If only I was ignored by your kind being!

Please find in your dear heart to once again forgive,

How undoubtedly foolish and insensitive I behave,

For if it were not for your love and care,

I’d truly be lost in this world so unfair!

Deceptively Beautiful!

My small coin collection!!

Dismissed in Love and Hatred too,

She lay in disregard of her heavy heart,

Thinking maybe she could con him too,

And have a opulent but fresh start!

She knew not sorrow bounds itself,

To swindle, larceny, lust and theft!

Broken Brains

Gabriel Neffke.

Tender little hearty us with tampered broken brains,

gleaming glittering eyes like old window panes!

orifice of the world to the precarious decisions

of the wounded hearts and confusing visions.

smiling to the world with tears in our eyes,

hoping to be noticed by dark passer-bys.

They are too busy to look as they walk

away engrossed in their cheerful talk!

we feel like a distasteful bland wall

of brick and cement ready to fall...

crumbling paint old haggard look

standing upfront an effort took!

In us resides a vision so bright

of glorious days and nights.

we with our broken brain

and hushed huge pain

shattered sad hearts

lost in buried pasts

uttering our byes

in dreamy eyes

living wishing

heart aching,

hoping for,

amour or

concern

  or care.

for us

me

I
