Best Lost Lovespace Poems


Thorn Bird

Do I know the futility of words
Unfortunately I do
To speak and yet be unheard

as the thorn bird knows it's destiny
So does the heart

To be speared upon the very branch of which it thrived
Always in silence
Not once has the sound of resolve been heard
As solemn as the flight of wild wings

Do I understand this?
No, I do not
All that I feel
In that silent space within
Is the pain of the dying bird

Wings that no longer beat
As destiny claims her stake

My heart falls victim to her snare
Upon the branches of the vine
Speared and spilled
My love like blood
Bleeds from a wound that none can see

Under the disguise of natural causes
I die before your eyes
Hoping with my failing strength
In the silent space within
You felt it too

The Space

This empty space 
Left by you 
Gone 
So far away unseen 
This hole burns 
My soul yearns 
For your touch unfelt; 
Laughter unheard 
Come quickly, speed 
Your return 
And fill the space 
The hole 
You left behind

For You, and You Know Who You Are.....

In the infinite space of a second,
 you disapeared from my life, 
no amount of searching
 and unanswered messages 
brought you back to me.  
In the space of an infinite second,
 love was lost, 
your promises broken.  
and in the infinite space of a second,
 I had to carry my heart,
 with a hole in it, seeping pain into my soul.  
All in the infinite space of a second.......
