A Door Closes
This is a strongly emotional batch of poetry stirred up by the life and death of a good friend. Here i display the pain and fortune, having the privilege of knowing this friend, i am grateful yet troubled in this awkward time. Assuring myself that i will see you once again, Here's to you Jordan, Cheers!
The Flame
Dances with you forever
While your body and mind
Are out of sight
You never fought just to surrender
Never in fear of the approaching night
You never settled
For less than you were worth
No opportunities were left in the shadows
You were always running free
Always so full of life
....
In fact,
You still are
Gone
But not forgotten
Murdered by
A swollen throat
Reality
Wont set in
None of this
Seems to make any sense
Why are any of us here?
Why were you taken?
A second chance?
Searching for a new shell
As life slipped through your hands
.......
Detaining nothing
To have lived without regret
Alive for every moment
Awake for every breath
Even the last
..
A lapse of separation
Until we can find one another again
For the loss of another brother
Is the loss of a true friend
The gift i gained
Was the privilege of knowing you
Burning time
Just like a flame
Never look back
Or you'll trip over the present
Don't hold on tight
Fly with independance
Live on in peace Jordan, wherever you find yourself next. Know that I'll carry you with me until my own day of death. We've parted once but not forever. See you on the other side - Skyler
