Ronjerbek - Funeral Poems Poetry

Grief is one of the hardest things to face in life, and unfortunately it is something which most of us will experience in our time. Writing or reading grief poems and funeral poems is something which many find beneficial in helping them to complete their journey through the bereavement process.

Twilight is past and darkness reigns.
The mem'ries of light, too, fade. .
The future predicts unbridled pain.
For me - a masquerade.

Awake, I face fate's cruel test .
Of bearing one more day, .
The absence of your loving breast.
And your sweet bouquet. .

Love is strong, yet can't deny.
The embers that remain.
Will fail to soothe my mournful sigh, .
Which I cannot contain.

My days are spent as one destroyed .
And wondering without hope.
Of why I cannot fill this void.
And why I cannot cope.

'Til death doth claim me and my soul.
I shall love thee still. .
'Til then it is my lonesome role.
To accept God's will.
