Wrote this in Words already, hopefully this isn't against the rules. But more people knew him here and I wanted to share for anyone that knew and cared about him.

Anyway, this poem is an ode to Tom. Hope you like it.

Only the good die young.

Trickles of sorrow run down the window
And the moon shines a hollow crater
Into a room bereft of Thing.

Notes float into unseeing ears
They try to understand. Understand what?
There's nothing out there but the moon.

It grins at us all and masquerades
A benevolent figure, apparently, shining on us all
So then why did it take him away

There's no fucking answer out there.
The crater in the sky has turned its diamond back on us
Gone. Alone. Not even the emptiness to welcome.
 
... picking holes in anothers faith is a no-no too, in a thread where one might hope for some restraint!

I don't believe in God, I believe in the possibility of God, not God. However, that's not something I'd place in a thread about a loss, where the persons spiritual leanings might be apparent & do so only to illustrate what I see as slightly impolite comment. This one, mine!

Not trying to troll up a row, just saying...
 
Although you have a point, I'd prefer it if we could just have one remembrance thread without it derailing horribly. Please?

Note taken Snolls, i'll leave this thread alone from now
 
Don't need to leave it alone, just not the place for a theological debate :)
 
I must be reading a different poem, because the one I just read blames the moon. But anyway...

I miss Tom too. It'd be great to have him around just now. Wish you could read that, Tom. You'd love it, you moody fucker. ;) <3

Yes, it was an example of what should not be said if one has any tact in mind. I apologise if I gave the exact opposite impression.

... & I'm with Snolly, theological discussion & poetic hole-picking should perhaps be best left to threads where there's less danger of causing offence. Fairly simple really. Wonder what some people find so hard about it, it's hardly calculus...

Anyway, for the sake of keeping the peace, I'll just wish Pagey the best & dedicate a few minutes of my Friday evening in thought to the ones we've lost here & will try to resist getting picky in this thread again & leave it...
 
Thank yoooou <3 Think will do the same as you intend to, we've lost too many people.

And for what it's worth, it is a nice poem, made me wee bit teary.
 
<3 not too sure on that poemy thing but having a remembrance thread like this is lovely
 
It was heavy on the heart once I let it settle & the hidden msgs show...
Means it is good because that's what art does: Provokes strong emotions / reactions.

<3 Love to you Pagey and everyone else in mourning <3
 
swedger I'm not quite sure where you got God from as my poem had literally nothing to do with him but thanks for agreeing to pleasepleaseplease keep this a civil thread. Remembrance threads derail seemingly every single time and it'd be nice to avoid that for once.

Anyway, I realise it may come across as a completley idiotic poem but I don't care in the slightest, I know Tom would've liked it and it's the message behind it that matters in the end.

In any case it doesn't really matter, it's nice to have people thinking about Tom again. I know it'd mean a lot to him. <3
