[hometext] => this was written about my friend, who commited suicide. This poem is about the way I felt at his funeral
[bodytext] => Words Are Not Enough For This Title A hearse outside the church today Sat parked like omens that stop the heart Heavy footsteps of the mourners could be heard Step by step their hearts broke more With misty pools of shadowed blue eyes She tried to keep her agony inside Her eyes were blank and empty as she hid The soul that shattered and broke within A china face with no expression Held stiff and eyes stared forward Hands lifted pages of his life Fingers touched his words of a life full of sorrow Keeping eyes and soul on the ground She feared what lifted heads would see An empty room with empty pews Sat in despair with organs keeping on the grave beat As words came from the pulpit at last Trying to make this all see unreal Trying to make it sound like a mistake When it had been planned in his troubled mind The air filled with constant sobs Of souls that called back his name She tried to fight back the tears She tried to fight back the pain They came and slowly moved the casket down the aisle Blue with flowers so white Someone so young should not be placed In a crib of desperate loneliness. He brought upon himself his direful closure For desolation filled his spirit as it cried out Now they laid him in the dark abyss When nightmares are locked in to lay beside you Row by row they left the room Left the atmosphere of misunderstanding and desperation Slowly standing she closed off her emotions and stared ahead When straight ahead the coffin lay, with its front gravely opened. She had tried so determinedly to keep it inside But the horror caused her emotions to dissolve into a screaming tear Her insides twisted with the knowledge of things not yet experienced That the worst was still to come. Emotionless eyes slowly revealed Her soul inside the screamed and cried Silently it wept As she turned her head and mind away But love and depression turned it back And her shadowed eyes fell upon his shadowed face The absence of breath was clear and death Never again would seem the same A burial of a different kind Burying one who was so young and lost Leaving behind the smile his shadowed face once held Leaving behind his lifeless body to be judged at the cross. Passing by he left her sight And tears could no longer be kept within She did her best to hold in he screams That begged for mercy from above Her face distorted and dismayed Her tears still silently hit the ground Her breath was gone and sobs could not Let in the air full of death and despair. Walking into the hurting light, Of the church she passed the hearse From inside the church came the screams of a mother O God, O God, O God, O God Reflected what her spirit silently screamed but could not say.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
