The Ghost Of Winter Passed
when you wake up in the morning
and find a dead body
where your friend used to be
there is no silver lining visible
or faint light at the end of any tunnel
all that remains is cold remains
and no amount of tears or flowers
will bring back the dead
or help you forget what his father said
so you decide to strap his ghost to your back
and get to thinking that excessive drinking
will dull the din and ease the mind
but you can never leave his ghost behind
while you are judge jury and executioner
and find a dead body
where your friend used to be

so you decide to strap his ghost to your back
and get to thinking that excessive drinking
will dull the din and ease the mind
but you can never leave his ghost behind

Mr A
I hear you man, it's a whole different kettle of fish trying to write about death from a witness perspective.
thank you for stopping by and laying down your thought.

Jack.
I appreciate your comment. yes that quote seems rather apt.
The one thing i tried hard to do here was not invoke feelings of pity or have it read as pretentious. so i am glad at least one of them came through.
thank you for reading and commenting.

maybe luck or maybe something else, i am glad i posted this now either way.

hit a very deep nerve
27th Mar 2012 3:01pm
Mr.Eamon you have hit a very deep nerve with this piece, I have an anniversary coming up on April 27, it is the 26th anniversary of my 17 yr. old brother's death, he was killed by a drunk driver and is the reason I don't drink to this day.

Mrs Gypsy.
First off, sorry for your loss. Having a family member or friend killed by a drunk driver must be a horrible thing to try come to terms with.
Thanks for laying your thoughts down here and i am sorry you can relate.

Haunting!

Generally death is such a question mark that it can hang around way past any ceremony. The last line is very powerful! This is some of the best to be found here.

this poem reminds me that time can never properly heal anyone. It merely remind us that we have to go on with what's left.
great write.

Eamon
This reminds me of the very first poem
I had read on DUP. It was one by you
and that dealt with death as well.
I agree to everything you have said and
everything had to offer.
The last line is BRILLIANT.
Power,
Sumeet
