A Fevered Night, Unscheduled Departure II
I creep into your room, my steps are unsteady,
You went to bed with symptoms of the flu,
A soft child’s breath is what I seek,
To touch, to comfort—to ensure peace.
But as I peel back the covers, I find
Your stillness is no longer sleep.
I call your name, my voice trembling,
Attempt to rouse you from your peace,
But you

Unconditional Love
I love you this day without condition
Or revision
For no reason
For every reason
For your tears
For your smiles
For all that you are
For all that you will become
For yesterday I loved you forever
For tomorrow I will love you eternally
I love you this day unconditionally

Eternally Alone
It doesn’t matter how the sun sets,
nor how the clear streams flow.
There is no joy in waves of grain
or brilliant fields of snow.
This world in all its glory
spins round eternally,
but glory melts to sand and grey
because there’s only me.
I once lived life upon a world
with billions by my side,
where I spent my

ETERNALLY
I lie eternally on my bed, feeling my heart that never felt
I lie eternally in the awakening of my life
I lie eternal in the strife of street and watch whether veins reach
I lie eternal in my mortal nightmares, insane
I lie eternally in my soul, a drift in a dreamer's dream
I lie

gentling hues, soft hope

Silent
In silent graves
Beneath jasmine maze,
Gentle hues of truth,
Tempt hearts, sooth.
In silent winds,
Where joy begins,
On breaths of a prayer,
Grace meant to share.
In silent breaths,
Endless seas of peace,
Gentle as the sunrise,
In summer’s charms.
In silent hearts,
Dandelions whispering,
Kindness in the song,
Music where I belong.
In silent wishes,
Stars, like glitter, scattered,
Across the pitch-black
Shimmering, mysteries.
In silent rains,
Beckoning to the pains,
Lost and lonely

Eternally Euphonious
Wrote this one using some of my own prompts and prompts by my fellow poets...
If love were a thorn-less rose,
I would have gifted you
a thousand springs full of them,
as I look for ways,
to show you how your scars make me feel now,
when you ask me,
will you take care of my tired soul?
I wish to turn

Time
There is many endings,
Only we and me has no end.
I'd rather have loved and hurt than have no friend.
Love has no end,
Chains and bars are in our DNA,
Free your mind to open the cells.
learning everything sounds silently,
Listen to your heart ,
Anger destroys violently.
success is learning everything needed consciousness everlasting.
Behold reality as it's nothing,
be real and

Eternally Instant
The lies are uncountable
with only one truth
tomorrow and yesterday
masks to confuse
Behind bars of enchantment
our fantasy hides
programming our psyches
rewriting each lie
To hide from the moment
its present refused
whose message eternal
intention abused
The mirror a prison
all windows set free
eternally instant

Son, Our Love Is Infinity Deep and Eternally True
Son, Our Love Is Infinity Deep And Eternally True
Gibraltar is a mere pebble compared to our love for you
My dearest son, your handsome face, pretty eyes we see
We think of your better welfare in all these things we do
And we pray Heaven's truest blessings upon you and me
As a baby mom and we gave our

Eternally Etched
This slice of time and space
Will barely register a trace
In the historical database
Don't discard it to be erased
Slow down the chaotic pace
Replace the chase with faith
Interlace gratitude with grace
To embrace all that we face
Our story will be encased
In the core of the human race
Live with no regrets or haste
Since steps can't be retracted

Eternally Glowing Horizon
Let's cross the river
let's cross the mountain
if we ever find an eternally glowing horizon
let us lay down our pains and speak again.

Eternally Mine
Only God knows…
The thoughts of my heart,
The breathe that makes me whole,
The spirit that invites me to try
Only God knows…
The feelings of my soul,
The light that inspires me to hope,
The reasons that I believe…
In a love that saves me from sin,
A love that makes me who I am,
A love that is alive and keeps me
