A million whispered moments pass
as I watch you glide through the crowd,
your measured steps so gracefully danced,
a coy kiss placed upon my cheek,
as you spin in place with each movement.
But it's just another whispered moment,
one in a million, lost in a breath.
A love from a distance, from another place.
You don't even know me.
Upon your chest, I lay my head,
your beating heart sings poetry,
my eyes upon your moving lips
as hushed breath hints rumors of you and me.
It's just another moment.
And it's just another whispered moment,
one in a million, lost in a breath.
A love from a distance, from another place.
You don't even know me.
I can't go on living this dream
I'd give my life if you could just see me.
But it's just another whispered moment,
one in a million, lost in a breath.
You don't even know me.
As the crowd thins, you move away,
like a mist that fills me you simply fade,
leaving me to await another day.
The moments passed yet you linger on
to haunt me.
And it's just another whispered moment,
one in a million, lost in a breath.
I can't go on living this dream
I'd give my life if you could just see me.
But it's just another whispered moment,
one in a million, lost in a breath.
A love from a distance, from another place.
You don't even know me.

Maybe in another universe, you’re mine.
Our lives are intertwined.
Maybe in another universe, you see all the tears I’ve cried,
all my delusional sleepless nights.
Wondering what would happen if I just told you.
Would you kiss me in the rain and tell me, I'm your one, just me forever;
That you’re done?
Maybe in another universe, you’re my fairytale,
You wait for me as the school bells ring, and slow dance with no music on
You’re my Sunday Kind of Lover and we have a love people wait forever for.
Maybe in another universe, you’re more than just a friend.

Not by chance do I find myself
Awake in the dead of night; caught by fright.
The stinging pangs of a grace far from touch.
Are you real? Why such longing?
How and why do you make my heart sing so loud?
God I love you, want you and feel you stir deep within. My dreams tell me so.
I once held you close. Treasured your joy.
Too brief a glimpse of what love should be.
Stinging pangs of desire born from raging fire…
Again I awake with cold knowledge we are not together but wish to return to sleep where I find you. Such dreams are dissipating in their frequency.
No doubt dampened by reality. Smothered by denial. I wait awhile...
Shall I return to thee? Shall I close my eyes and drift again? Such intensity exists so when my eyes close I see more than when open during these bouts of selfish desire. A desire to hold you close and to hear your folly.
These latest dreams alas I know why...glimpses seen when rummaging through keepsakes locked in my mind. Love but a small child, a cap too big for its head. You look beautiful, you always have.
Maybe you belong only in dreams, dreams although less in frequency, burn brighter than ever. I will teach myself to nullify and the morning after? Such numbness of heart will remain and so on...until you find me again when in slumber.
Romeo in exile. Fair Juliet is asleep. In the dead of night must you stay.
Did you ever know how much I love you so. How could you I ask?
I drift again... stroking your hair, I capture your glare, eyes wide shut, less for eternity.
In dreams do you appear through blunted arrow and broken bow. Forgive my musings. A 1000 nights have I awoken suffocated by your bespoke soul and its grip on my innermost fragility. Too tender the soul to tender such flames.
I close my eyes and await the return of you to my arms wherein I hold you tight through this mocked up night.
Haunt me freely for these moments I feel more alive than at any other...
A love potion meant for her high school beau
She mistakenly spilled in my Latte to-go
With my passions on fire
When I expressed my desire
She replied "You're a bit too old, Romeo"
by Robert Gorelick
Tell her when you see her your not too old
That the fire in your soul never goes cold
And you don’t need potion
For showing emotion
As your passion is remotely controlled

He grips so tightly to her warmth
with fears that this will be their last
encounter until God knows when -
When will we reunite once more?
He, lost in limerence - summer -
She ran as fast as the leaves fell;
now he walks amongst her ashes.
I gave you my all
the harsh moon cast its shadow
Silence filled the air
Love unrequited
eyes shed tearsdrops of fire
unable to stop
Love unrequited, so much time wasted
Woman so splendid, what you always wanted
Heart that got busted, wouldn’t get mended
Too much expended, it ended before it started
Feeling so taunted, your mind is haunted
By the memories of your love unrequited
For ATP, my love unrequited
JEB
I who once was beguiled by shallow love,
Like love-god Cupid did make a wrong choice,
While youthful mind of mine loveless did starve
Of wanton sport that had a transient voice.
All furtive joy spring from unconscious guilt,
That grieve me, and no longer have their worth,
The tower of Hope in course of time I built,
Doth tumble with Contrition’s sudden birth.
Thy nonchalant face speaks of false amour,
And for thy sake ascetic I must be,
If thou cannot, who can me thus allure?
But rue I must, my heart’s ensnared to thee.
Now with the fleeting moment thou art gone,
Woe loves him best who is by Love forlorn.

The moment your voice fell on these ears, they didn't knew the melody it was about to become
Come days, the sight of you to my eyes, caused a joy as a kid would feel when won a prize
Slowly and steadily, you somehow manage to spread magic in the air, I heard angels were like,"Woman, don't you dare"
As the angels were afraid that you were stealing their thunder,
My heart prayed we would get more closer
Days became nights and nights became days,
I just dreamt of loving you in so many ways....
To kiss you on forehead, To buy you flowers, To going places, God This felt like a dream
Remember, you once told me, ' You're my constant ' and I left ground and started floating
Time passed by, Flowers bloomed by,
I realised, I haven't felt this way in a while
But every good thing comes with a sacrifice to be made,
For you, I had to keep all these feelings in my head and that was price I paid
I couldn't tell all these feelings as you were only looking friend in me,
I became selfish and considered you and I as "we"
Thing I was afraid of, was losing you as a friend,
How can I let this beautiful thing to the end
But it did, and you found a new guy,
And I saw you with him happy as I passed by
You are a beautiful, genuine, true and precious soul my dear
I promise you'll never see a drop of my tear
You stay happy, and that's all I care about
I'll always wish best for you , and there's no doubt...
all this while
I had been knocking at your door
waiting for you to traverse the space
from your locked room to the door front
take the keys from the door side table
and let me in
and all this while
in being the knocker
I forgot to lock my home
the doors were wide ajar
the windows un-hatched,
you’d raided all of it.
Unrequited love,
My dandelion wishes,
Eyelash desires,
Infatuation’s dire,
And in my heart burns a fire.
I kneel, bow, and make myself into
A rock to ask God,
King of the Universe,
Give me the amateur.
Hear my cries, Lord our God,
And give me him.
I plead, beg, and erode
My rough edges;
Almighty One,
I want this one to be terminal.
Please, God, place the
Obsidian in the core of my palm.
Let this strangeness of love
Feel familiar, once more.
King of my Universe,
Please let him become familiar.
Almighty One,
I swear I will get it right this time.
My love for you is Agape
It has no reason
Though it isn't reciprocate
To me, it has deep meaning
My love for you has no season
It is the unending rush of a waterfall
The eternal blossom of the wild pumpkin
It can never fade and never stop
My heart is crying, it needs you
Everything in the world is meaningless without you
I don't want to dream of you anymore
Now, I want you for real
God created you unique
He uses all his beauty techniques
He gave you the best physique
Even without you visiting a boutique
You always look classic
They say everything happens for a reason
If we were meant to be together that It will work out in the end
What I know for sure is that,
I will never forget you even if you forget me
If life insist that we need to go our separate ways
You will still dwell in my heart till my dying days
My love for you can never be erased
In my world you can never be replaced
It maybe now or never
I will wait for you forever
Maybe as forever is over
The feeling I had for you will be over
Deep within my heart, a love abides,
For the man of my dreams, my soul confides.
Yet, though he tends to my every need,
His affection falls short, a wound indeed.
Each passing day, my yearning grows,
Every part of me, longing shows.
But amidst the care, a pain I find,
His gestures sometimes leave me behind.
An act, seemingly small, yet cuts so deep,
Leaving my heart to silently weep.
Was it deliberate, to stir my fears?
Or simply misunderstood, through my tears?
I wish I could release this love's tight grip,
But with each attempt, deeper I slip.
Dreams of a future, with children in tow,
With him, my heart's eternal glow.
So here I am, torn and torn apart,
In love with a man, yet feeling apart.
For he holds my heart, yet keeps it at bay,
Leaving me yearning, day after day.
