Sonnet 100


If I would die today or tomorrow,
I pray that my room be filled with sunlight.
For brightness will relieve me of sorrow,
my terror will subside within its warmth.
But if I would die on a rainy day,
with such cold, unending tears from above,
let me hold your hand that I will feel gay,
as I relish the beauty of our love.
Indeed, Earth is a temporary place.
Thus, we are not meant to stay forever.
Cry no more my dear, for I shall have peace,
in a paradise with the Life Giver.
Be whole my love, stay out of misery,
for dying is our common destiny.

Purple November


Majestic purple,

red and blue combination.

Royalty symbol.


The rarest purple,

odd tints for the amethyst.

February stone.


Sweet, fragrant purple,

luscious scent of lavender.

Essential embeds.


Courageous purple.

The color of death and grief,

heartbreaking embrace.

Why Do People Die?


Why do people die?

My deepest agony.

Once it was natural,

today it’s personal.


Why do people die?

My pain, my sarcasm.

Once my life is perfect,

now it’s a complete wreck.


Why do people die?

Silly question I ask.

We knew all the answer.

Yet I painfully ask.


Why do people die?

Now feel my spirit break.

Missing her, missing him.

Why do they have to die?
