A few seconds ago I saw your face

A few seconds ago I felt your touch

A few seconds ago I met your gaze

…… just a few seconds ago.

& now you’re gone….

Gone to make a new world your own

To spread your beauty & love

Within a few seconds you shall embrace eternity into your beautiful arms

A few seconds ago….

Just a few seconds ago, I had your hands in mine

A few seconds ago your eyes were before me with their exquisite shine

A few seconds ago your love met my heart

A few seconds ago you separated your self from me to make a start

& now your gone….

Mind, body & soul

Away from its other half, leaving me incomplete forever

In a few seconds I lost what I could never think of living without

A few seconds ago the world was beautiful

A few seconds ago life was colourful

A few seconds ago the earth was firm below my feet

A few seconds ago Heaven was here before my eyes

And now your gone…

Leaving before me…..   hell

A hell that I have to live in

A life that I have to live out

An earth that I have to endure

Why my beloved would you punish me so,

to live on,

even for a few seconds after you are gone!!!

Blood of my spirit, not my body

You watched calmly as I split the wood

And stacked the stones

No voice from heaven

But sound of your mother breaking

Foretold that the knife would not be stayed

Warned no scapegoat was coming

Surely the saints

Have seen with the eyes of Ezekiel

The wheel of fire, devoid of comfort

Only grief and terror

I have heard the prayers of such holy men

And I still pray

“I love you DJ, and I am sorry that it took you no longer being here for me to value that love. If you could only be here now to hold my hand one last time, I know that in that very moment of solitude and stillness, that we would not be afraid of what people have to say to us, and our love. I know you’re looking down on me, with your beautiful sapphire-blue eyes, from somewhere up above. Smile for me, okay? Smile that beaming smile and light everyone’s day. Light every corner that I am backed into, and every turn that is shadowed. I miss you, but I know that you will always be in my heart when I need you. You will never be forgotten, never fade with time. You are my happiness, my hope, my inspiration and most importantly that only man I will ever love…ever. So here’s to you babe, Forever my Bousa. I love you Baby-babe, You live on in my heart.”

The world couldn’t see
How you loved tenderly
Your touch started a fire
Of burning desire

Parting was always sweet sorrow
But we always had tomorrow
To feel your hold so strong
I knew that I belonged

You were thought to be a boy
But oh the joy
The simple things for me were best
Save the flashy for the rest

I’ll never know a love that pure
For that you can be sure
Rest now for all is calm
Your memories will be the balm
That keeps me warm at night
Until we reunite

Now that your gone
I will always long
To feel you by my side
The waves of sadness I will ride
Our commitment I’ll continue to abide
My heart is broken and will never mend
I will continue to love you to the end

I pray we’ll be together again some day
I’ll keep my wanting to join you now at bay
There must be a purpose as to why I’m still here
God has his reasons, to us not clear
Watch over me as I get through each day
Listen to me as I continually say
‘I love you’ my dear with all of my heart
It will continue to grow even though we’re apart

Where you are now is a beautiful place
More so now with your lovely face
When the sun is out and shining bright
Made possible by your smile, which is the light
I will feel the warmth that wraps all around me
With this blanket of love you are showing me
That you are gone but not far away
Always here, forever you’ll stay

As you fell into my arms
A perfect fit
The feeling, felt so right
We gazed into each others eyes
We knew it
As we grasped each other
And held so tight.
The pounding of our hearts
Beating to the melody
Of Sinatra crooning
“I’ll never smile again.”
The smile was there
For fifty six years
Suddenly the music stopped,
You left
Called home.
Now
I’m all alone.
Awaiting my call
Beaconing me home.

A star has been plucked from the sky.
The sky is now dimmer.
It happened on June 25th.
A day, we will always remember.
Never again to see Michael’s smile light up the skies.
Never again to see him moonwalk across the stage as his fans cries.
Never again to hear him sing Billie Jean.
To the roaring sound of his fans’ screams.
A brother of the sun has been taken away.
But in our hearts his music will always stay.
Michael Jackson will now dance among the clouds.
And in the heavens, you will still hear him singing loud and proud.

A great beauty has passed from this life.
Of good times and sometimes toil and strife.
Some will say that she went to a better place.
Look at the blue sky or a white cloud, you will still see her face.

Movements like those of a gazelle in flight.
Hair that shone like gold on a moonlit night.
Eyes that could touch your soul.
And essence like that of a red rose.

Farrah, you fought hard to stay here on earth with us.
But when God calls you, go you must.
Whenever we feel a summer breeze or April rain.
It will seem like you are near.
And in our hearts, your memory will always remain dear.
