Marlon Janaway Poems

1.

Your soul flickered into existence,
and fought to catch a flame.
White coats tried to bring you back,
as your mother called your name.
...

As I leafed through the pages of my local rag,
I read of a man who had taken his life.
He had left in his wake a daughter or son,
unto the care of his grieving young wife.
...

An involuntary sigh.
Eyes glassy with tears.
A heart that's too heavy,
for such tender years.
...

Oh peace, descend upon me,
assuage my care fraught senses,
you've been absent for so long,
I thought you never to return.

The Best Poem Of Marlon Janaway

Flown

Your soul flickered into existence,
and fought to catch a flame.
White coats tried to bring you back,
as your mother called your name.
I thought I might have felt your touch,
as your parting spirit fled.
On your assent, did you look down,
to an angels effigy on the bed?
Your lifeless form before us lye,
natures spite left bitter feeling.
We sat before your guttered glow,
stunned, bereft and reeling.
I never led you to your first steps,
but I still miss your hand in mine,
and never have our eyes both met,
but how I've longed to see them shine.
White wood for your bedclothes,
and the cold earth for your cot.
Though, no life left to remember,
You shall never be forgot.
