Ascension

Warm white rays
Descend from the sky
Flickers of gold light
Sparkle like fireflies

Love and warmth
Overcomes all pain
Relieving him of
His emotional strain

The Angels are calling
They're singing his name
Enticing their son
To come home again

Glancing back
As he ascends
There's no regrets
He's free from sin

Though we are very sad
That you had to go
Knowing you're suffering is over
Cleanses our souls

For someday
We shall meet again
At the gates to heaven
As our souls ascend

Hugs

Sprinkle of rain

In the night

I’m not letting you go

Tonight

The tighter I squeeze

The stronger the heat

Of the energy flowing

Deep inside of me

So

Before I let go

I want you to know

That I’ll cherish our hugs

Wherever I go

by Phillip Michael

There You Go

You just left

And all I see

Is your tail lights

Going away from me

As they are glimmering through the rain

I must have been insane

For letting you slip

Through my reins

Fully knowing

It was chance of a lifetime

And…

It may never happen again

My Horror

Tired beyond belief
Troubled with unforgiving grief

Dazed

I can’t feel myself breathe
What is coming over me

Euphoria

Rain on the roof
And the ever so constant ringing in my ears

Articulate

Sometimes I think
I'm ready to throw away all those years

Tainted

As my demons thrive inside of my core
I'm not sure whether I can take it anymore

My Horror

by Phillip Michael

Less Sad

As I think of you
On this sorrowful night
I hope your ok
And haven’t lost sight

Of the fact that
Your brother is safe
Free from life and emotional disgrace

It’s so hard
to be left behind
But we all know that someday
It’ll be our time

Then you’ll be standing at the pearly gates
Free from sin
And this stupid place

We wish loved ones could stay forever
But, let’s face it
God really wasn’t… that fuckin clever

So if I could offer some insight
Having just lost my dad

Be happy for David
And a lot less sad

by Phillip Michael

Eternity?

Crushing pressure Crackling bones
Air seepage
Sharp pains
Overwhelming sensations
Thoughts of despair
There I am now
Way down there

Doesn’t someone care?

The light
So bright
Ascending
No worries or cares
Golden sparkles everywhere
Most satisfying warmth
And inner peace
They’ve all come down to rescue me

Is this eternity?

by Phillip Michael

Inner Proclamation

Anxious and prolific
I wish I felt terrific

My thoughts are churning
Inner core is burning

Lightheaded and feeling squirrelly
Can you sense my furry

The heavy breathing
Legs shaking

I sometimes wonder
If I’m faking

I always want
What I can never have
Deep inside I’m so fuckin sad

Sittin around just getting fat
I have no self control and that’s a fact

So much to live for
Yet so little time
Keeps me safe from doing the crime

However

Is it worth the weight (wait)
Of never being able to face my fate

I guess I shouldn’t pontificate
