Best Unfulfilled Poems

Loneliness is like a graveyard haunted by ghosts,
empty memories, and unfulfilled dreams:
                         where hearts endure
      ...

Your eyes beneath the arches of dark brows
were ebony with splashes cinnamon.
One penetrating gaze from you would rouse
a craving that became too strong to shun.
Love unfulfilled, into my dreams you crept,
and your voice, edged with velvet, called to me.
From the fortress tower where I was...

I came to your hospice,
  I came here to die

I came for my family
  a final goodbye

I broke that one promise,
  I most wanted to keep

Alone on my mountain,
  no mourners to weep

The doctors and nurses,
  they prod and they...

Wondering if she will give me the chance
To share my primal love with her alone
Adds to fostering feelings of romance
That have infested my form to the bone
But had she not played it so hard to get
And given of herself to me too soon
I think that...

Empty promises; that's all your words are.
I care for you, do you even care for me?
I've given so much of myself;
mind, body, and soul, and it seems that
you could care less.
You're all I think about night and day
and you hardly think of me.
I wait for...

Unfulfilled Dreams !!!

Still dreaming, after all these years, impossible dreams.
To become a reality that is never meant, it surly seems,

to rise up – like the Phoenix – from the ashes.
A reality, that with my dreams, always clashes.

To let go, to forget, for sanity, this I...

Unfulfilled dream

A dream
Running
Screaming
Hiding
Crying

I know that life doesn’t end just because of it,
But it’s like nothing matters anymore.

I just feel empty.

Everything I have always wanted is most likely gone now.
Risked it all, tho I didn't come out on top

A dream
Running
Screaming
Hiding
Crying

A dream
She doesn't want to know
No.
A dream
She...

Whispered dreams on gentle breezes
… taken by a wild and wayward wind

Songs of yen ‘neath shade of branches 
…engulfed by tears of weeping willow

wishes made on sea’s white horses
…washed away amid the rolling waves



*** was intended for Adeleke's Sky, Soil and Sea contest, 
I took...

Desires unfulfilled
affection gone astray
needs ignored and
imagination plays

in bed alone
emotions groan
mind begins to roam
LOVE
soon leaves home

I believed the Cinderella tale,
And in happiness ever after,
That when I found my prince, we'd live
In endless love and laughter.

But through no fault of yours, my love,
Our idyll soon was ended.
Ever and ever, our fond dream,
Was not what God intended.

If genies still granted wishes
And the...

How I look back with regret
At that summer long ago
A sultry sensual summer
A time of sexual awakening
When I was on the threshold,
The blossoming of womanhood
And how I curse the time
I wasted on you
All those hours in your room
Listening to your music,
Your creative juices at work
Your...
