Save a dying love

Can't change history, though they try to flee
How does happiness turn so sad?
When two lovers meet, they may plant the seed
Why do two hearts turn out so bad?

Chorus

Two hearts grow apart
Seems they've lost the spark
How to save a dying love?
Can they show they care?
Will they always be there?
How to save a dying

Our Dying Love

Love is like a dyin' ember
Only memories remain
Through the ages I'll remember
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain 

Blue Eyes Cryin’ In The Rain  Willie Nelson

When we were young,
love flamed in hot passion.
Our souls entwined in bliss and
separation brought anguish
Living in the moment brought joy.

Our love is fading now, and
the spark is growing

Premium MemberMy Dying Love

In sad memory of the dead 
With nothing more that could be said 
At the edge of town as the sun went down 
I put a bullet in my head 

How could I've known what lied in store
My life shattered forever more 
Out near Puget Sound where my true love drowned
Her body washed up on

Dying Love

Our love is but a chilled shiver from a forgotten breeze,
Stunned neck hairs prickling to the touch.

Our love is but a happy memory,
Sweet to the mind, numb to the tongue.

Our love is a place called home to me,
How far away we’ve traveled from.

Premium MemberA Dying Love Affair

No matter my endeavors she returns every year
Whether she totally does understand my despair

To this yearly seasonal unrequited sad love affair
As to her yellow flower beauty, don't have a care

Digging up foundations ripping away at her roots
A pouring of strong weed killer we are in cahoots

Her now lifeless body lies besides me as so felled
The

In Memory of You

In Memory of You

So that even if my moribund mind fails
to show your fading beautiful face again,
you shall glow eternally in these trembling words.
By no means hollow are the choicest crowns
this dying poet does bestow on his cherished lover.

Premium MemberHow To Prepare a Dying Love One

How in the world do you prepare a loved one for dying?
What if you as well as others have faithfully prayed
For your love one's healing? But instead of improving,
It only becomes much worse. And you storm the
Heavenly citadels of heaven reaching the very throne
Room of The Lamb of God who takes away the sins
Of the

Dying Love

My lips drip of the words
I want to express
Follow my hands
I’ll trace a map for us
On your skin
We will meet in the middle
Hands in hand
Colors overflowing
Our cups
The wands spinning out of control
Moving out of their own accords
Meet me down at the lobby
We can change the world, I said
We had set each other free
The twilight nights

Good night my Love
Dream of the morrow
Sleep tight my Love
Know not of sorrow

Sleep well my Love
our true path is narrow
Good cheer my Love
see Cupid’s sweet arrow

All’s well my Love
hear songs of the sparrow
Take care my Love
I‘ll see you in shadow

How Long Does Dying Love Take

I watched as
she seemed to wretch away
when his fingers touched her skin
The petrol drizzled flowers
and past due chocolates
to pay for every bruise
how many never agains were too much
another drunken lurch
bruises elevated to breaks
His key in the door
my mothers involuntary shakes
I remember when she could raise
her eyes above the horizon line
i remember when
her dead doll eyes
had

Why Do We Die

sitting watching the world go by,
wonder what happens when we die,
do we go to heaven above, 
or stay in the ground covered in dirt, 

do our ghosts walk around, 
or do they visit your home town, 
will not know till we pass,
this is a question I have always asked, 

is heaven a place that is

Slowly Until Nothing

She was such a woman of intellect,
With just her brain, she could take anyone down.
With a razor sharp wit, that cut deep,
A stubbornness the like of I’d never seen,
Indeed, nor have I ever bore witness to since.
Never in need of assistance,
She was everyones rock to cling on to,
In times of distress and sorrow,
Least of all

A Random Felo De Se

I'm in a relationship with myself
Walking alone on a ticking clock
Improvising only to disappoint
Existing to be invisible.

People who came and left
Took a piece of me
I am now a matrix of crumbs
Bet I'm about to constellate

I self quarrel on a gloomy day
Still battling an overdose
Of between depression and Mirtazapines
Both kills me anyway

I will be in a

Tribute To My Husband

Tribute to my Husband 

Celebrating; Independence Day, this year,
brought on a whole new meaning for us,
for it was our last holiday together,
one I will always treasure.

I packed a picnic lunch for two,
our first and last meal alone,
we'd a fantastic view of the river,
saying our "I do's" all over again.

Our Last Fourth of July

This picnic was
