It's been thirteen years since you left this world.Some days the pain is so intense like that first day without you.I remember all the dreams we had for our future. I remember your gentle touch and how intense our lovemaking was the night before your deployment. I remember the last time I heard you say, "I love you" I remember your mama's tears when we got the news I remember the pain in your father's eyes.I remember feel...
Life is a dance You search high and low for that forever love you read about Then he comes out of nowhere and steals your heart from the word hello You pray he is your destiny part of the grander plan Then suddenly you watch him walk away ,breaking your heart as he goes Yet, you wouldn't regret a minute of the dance you shared for a brief minute in time You learn from the heartache and become stronger All the memori...
You reach out to me once… and I check emails every hour.You said to write you when I can…and I wrote six pages.You said “I will write again Sunday”…and I check messages two days before.You say we are friendsbut my actions betray my feelings.You say ours is a love lostbut we have talked for yearsand then not talked for years.How is it that I do not believe you?How is it that I do not accept what you say?Is the expression t...
Your side of of the bed is empty But I don't miss youYour absence gives me more spacenow I sleep in the middle I don't need anyone, not even you. No man is an islandWell, I beg to differ. I despise love, it weakens who I am I am alone, just how I like it. I am a rock. I am that island.
My wife is as terrified as I, fleeing with me through the dark and constricted alleyways of an old and decrepit city. The air is thick with the stench of refuse and the smell of food cooking over open flames as we pass between the cramped and overcrowded tenements that rise like cliffs around us.This woman, whom I believe to be my wife, pleads with me to find help or escape, but we both know there is none to be found. We...
Damn you for loving me And making me love you Damn you for saying you would never let go And then leaving Damn you for making me believe And then shattering my dreams Damn her for leaving you And opening the door for me Damn her for coming back And slamming that door shut Damn me for my head telling me beware And then letting my heart win out Damn me for loving you once And then doing it a second time Damn the cruel Mistr...
Restless and reeling, shaken and stirred,My heart it is bleeding, my tears undeterred. So silly, so flighty, irresponsible too.Yet so real, and so valid, so wrapped up in you. Who does this I wonder? Who falls in two weeks,For your whisper, your murmur, your kiss on both cheeks?You banged on my heart with suede words and soft feathers,And I responded with shy, unreal dreams of forever.First friends, and then besties, then...
So now through the moonlit garden, Walks Lady Jealousy, The inked heart upon her thigh, Laced with briars, And all your hopes of yesterday, Seeping through Her fingers, (Like ashes) they fall, Like ashes in the night, And once again the red rose of death doth bloom. But, for every death, (for every death) there is a life, A new voice in a new cradle cries, And what is gone is gone, And cannot be replaced, And what is new...
You enter into a marriage Believing your love will never end You will be always and forever With your lover and best friend However, life happens Sometimes gets in the way Then what do you do? Leave, stay, or maybe even stray Can your partner tell? The feelings within your heart Would they even agree? That you should be apart Or would they fight For what you’d had And if they did Would you be glad? A questioning heart Is...
Once again it’s that time of year when lovers long for a partner near. By the end it will be clear why I come to fear this sentimental time of year. Birds have flown south bound. Snow’s falling to the ground, just grey skies and slush all around. Yet, lovers are abound warm, cozy, and sound. Making plans to be together to escape the cold weather for dinner and a movie or whether whispering words as soft as a feather to al...
I know you'll never wake me with gentle kisses, folding me in your arms again..Your pillow-creased face whispering in my ear, your auburn hair falling over me..You'll never fret over me again like I was a broken bird, We'll never watch Malena Morgan together again, swooning...Stealing little caresses...Snug as only lovers can be..As I watch for the green light to blink on my phone to reassure meLike a warm hand over mine,...
Treading in the lakeListening for a soft whisper To drift over the horizon Until it reaches its breaking crescendo And echoes through the hills and valleys You feel powerless I am consumed by you Wanting to immerse myself In all that you are Shared cries from longing lovers We are shared heart beats Awaiting the second meaning
On the radio each day Since you went away The songs are about you Just you, And they leave me blue. Those tunes and words We once shared and loved Now haunt me Only me, Because you’re free. After all the sweet lines The wind and strings The times we held hands Beguiled by the bands, Why leave for different lands? Like a bird on the wing You left to do your thing Leaving me alone Listening to our song, Why have you gone? I...
Where were you When the love diedDid you noticeDid you careWe are passing like ghosts UnawareAn empty hollow feeling An echoing shout of sorrowOf lossFills my very beingBounces off the chambersOf my abandoned core.You encompassedInhabitedWere indwelling for so longBut have now vacatedAnd the sourceThe reasonThe purpose for the changeEscapes my visionMy seekingMy dissolving understandingOf your EmotionsYourSilence.The ulti...
