This poem only available on Lush Stories. If you are reading it elsewhere, it has been stolen.Those tears stream down,Unseen in the the pouring rain.Salty, scalding rivuletsThat trace channels inYour lined face.Is it pain,Sadness,And suffering,Or bitterness,Fear,And angerThat crumple the fabric of your skinIn creases that surround your eyes?Do temptation and betrayalSqueeze a tormented soulThat flies up into the howling g...
It was a few years ago, but I will never forget this experience. I was a college student who served as an officer in a national organization for aspiring professionals. Four of my friends and I traveled to another stateto attend aregional convention of this prestigious organization. On our second night there, the convention hosted a formal banquet, and we had acquired four tickets for this event. That's right, there were...
This poem only available on Lush Stories.Clean swathes of stars in the lushly green meadows;Sweet scent of your breath on my soul;Dusky blue skies with their gossamer cloudsMake my heart sing as you make me whole.Grasping my hands in this autumn-gold sunAs the moonpennies blaze final glory,The kiss of your lips on my neck lends a shiverAs the first shoots grow in our love story.A smile for my heart and a kiss on my lips,A...
Eyes wide glistening with tears Fingers twisting the chain around my neck Lungs squeezed tight fighting for air Mind trying to stop the memories that play All fails as the tears being to fall Black make-up stained cheeks left in their wake Shoulders shaking with each sob Strangled sounds of despair escape Trying desperately to stop the tears Focused on feeling nothing at all Willing the walls back into place Reaching a pl...
I take a deep drag of my 'cigarette', have a large gulp of tea. Then exhale. The sound of the vibrations of my phone on the wooden bench are familiar. A sound I subconsciously wait for. I pick up my phone and a message reads: 'I'm coming over in 5. Hope thats OK' It's from her. But she never comes over. I take one last drag and put the stub out. Pick up my still steaming mug and bring it inside. I sit down back at my comp...
Hold me close when I am sad, and dry my tears.Wrap your arms around me, and comfort my fearsKiss me softly when I need love, your heart share.If I am sick, be there for me, and show me you care.When I am lonely, hold me with your loving heart?Show me things will never change even when apart.When I am worried, baby will you give me some hope?When I am bewildered, will you help me to cope?If I loose my way, will you help me...
There he sits Upon his lofty precipice His tall pedestal Risen up in my eyes, my heart, Untouchable Unattainable And yet I touch him, as I can So deeply So fully As I sing for him The music of my body yearning for him The sigh, that sweet, happy sigh That escapes me only for him And I speak the words That fill his ears... his heart Of how he sets my soul So darkly ablaze And drown so readilyIn the light of his reg...
Can I ask you to keep me safe,In a little box in your heart?I don't take much effort or room,But just being there is a start.Let me keep you safe,In the deepest parts of my soul.We can be together whenever you desire,But we can always be whole.Tell me what will be,When the smoke clearsAnd it's just you and me,Versus our pain and fear.I can keep you safe,If you let me,If you let me.If you let me,I can keep you whole inside...
