Tears From Heaven

Rain drops are Loving Thoughts

Happy That You're Gone

They say when someone you love dies, they go to a better place. Is it true...?

I’m happy that you’re gone Not because I wanted you dead Not because I never cared But because all hate, sadness and pain is gone   I’m happy that you’re gone Not because I don’t want you by my side Where you belong to love me, to catch me if I slip or sl...

I Noticed the Hole Today

A cathartic muse of a lost family member.

I noticed the hole today. It’s been there awhile; I just finally really saw it.It’s really deep! I dropped some rocks but never heard a sound, not even clatter off the sides.It’s pitch black; sort sucks up any light that tries to penetrate. Like a Black H...

365 days of Hell

Dedicated to Agnes Johnson who died one year ago today at the age of sixty-four.

Things haven't been going well since Mom died one year ago today.A big part of me died with her when she passed away.For the last 365 days, I've been going through Hell.Everybody who knows me, knows that things aren't going well.One day before Mom's death...

Thanksgiving—The Mourning After

A man reflects upon Thanksgiving from the turkey’s point of view.

My knees began to wobbleas I heard your final gobbleand the ax came down and severed off your head.I knew you had a brotherand a father and a motherbut I chose to see you just as food instead.It must be so unnervingknowing you will be a servingand that be...

The Suicide

An ending for one and a new beginning for another?

Jack was completely calm. As the nose of his aircraft dipped for the final time, as he saw the ground approaching, as he anticipated the impending impact, he felt no fear. Instead there was a serenity that came not just from a belief in the afterlife, but...

For Andres

A Scream from within in memory of an Angel

Angel you flew away, to where there is no pain.Just short of two years life,Your mistreatment so profane.Your face was lovely, with precious tears.Hands small and soft, you erased my own fears.Your hair was ever so dark, your eyes quite so bright.Yet your...
