Two Poems from our Tributes, Memorials Poetry Collection

 
 
FORGOTTEN HERO
   
Author: Caroline Pilgram
   
Poem:
FORGOTTEN HERO
   
  Huddled in the corner his coat thread bare and
Ragged with time, you would have thought him a
Criminal but he had committed no crime.
Dereliction served little comfort he once knew
This place well, a place alien to him now it had
Become a living hell.
From down the chimney and broken window pane the
Wind blew hard, like a wailing Banshee, demanding
His attention, calling out his name, or was it a
Trick to make him drop his guard and as he
Reached inside his pocket he touched frayed
Ribbon and metal hard.
He fought for his country, would have died for
His Queen and what he became was a person unseen.
From a different era, the stories he could have
Told, fading memories inside his head, no one
Wants to listen to a soldier that is old.
His time had come he knew it now, he closed his
Eyes, yes, he could see them, they were reunited
Somehow. Past glories, past lives, past loss.
Who is this man? The unknown soldier, lived,
Forgotten and died alone.

Silent Prayer to the Rain (J. Anthony Moorer)
   
Author: Senait Mohammed
   
Poem: Silent Prayer to the Rain (J. Anthony Moorer)
   

Story's getting old,
Replayed memories,
It seems that you were dying.
I hope that you died smiling,
So, now are you happy?
Happy that you left me in your dust.
Don’t worry, it’s the thought that counts.
So, how should I show my affection,
My slow progression,
A dying regression of hope for the world.
And this is how I’ll hide my sorrow,
Praying that it rains tomorrow,
Angels weep as you're forgotten.
I can’t remove these scars,
Carving out these memories has become a part of life,
Memories hurt more,
Memories of you,
Sinking deeper,
Deeper into your eyes.
You look so peaceful,
Here's my rose and the promise that I can't forget...

The promise with your name on it.
