Queen Chaos
Council of loss
Absent morality
Morbid Dynasty
Monarchy of corrupted rules
all the worlds fools
chasing our tails
we do not notice
we slip through each others fingers.,

My heart longs for my love
Searched for her but she was gone
Called for her but she was not there
Pleaded for her but was no where
We have become separate
Fate has changed my life
I have lost my love
Death has struck me
Taken what was mine
I’m now all alone

I can’t imagine, I can’t imagine how such loss feels.
She was your baby, your life, your daughter, your everything that means.
I send you my love, my hugs, my thoughts to you and your family.
I am so sorry you lost your daughter. Though I didn’t know her I know she was a woman of pure beauty.
For Charlotte.

the lonely lovers learns lovingly
their little leaps lock lips looks lovingly
the loving love lets us lovingly
the lovely language leads lovingly
the lovable location listens lovingly
the loud lake lays lovingly
the large loss likes lovingly
learned the lonely lovers love…

Epigram

I
If u loved, you may write sound poetry;
If u loved & lost, words add a higher degree
Of lonely beauty and crowded clarity
As was true of Dickinson, POET, Lady, my EMILY
II
Life and breath can yield great writing
Love and loss point to truth, reuniting
Where all are level, Scripture doth remind
Before this act, stage, LILA in Hindu mind

I lay awake at night thinking of you
I wonder if you do too
Restless I toss
Heavy is my heart for a great loss
You're on my mind
True love really is blind
I don't want to dream of you
Because it will never come true
If I was a color I'd be blue
If I had to choose between day and night
I am the moon
Would you just love me too
When did you become a temptress
Leaving me in the dust
Where is your innocence
Can your love be my justice

Are you thinking about your child whether
alone can take steps to measure?
Can she attend social interaction
to take a view in total?
Are you upset for kids to go
away from home, though you didn't show?
Do you feel a sense of loss of purpose,
or stress feelings that your mind crosses?
These symptoms pertain to ‘empty
nest syndrome’ makes parents testy.
Keeping one's mind engaged with work the whole day
brings back peace in the soul.

..... I am still standing here with pain
Waiting for you in hope
Waiting the answer on your love
I am still walking on your line
To hope you’ll back to my heart soon, but no blind
I miss you all the way you move
I miss you all the craziness you mood
I miss you on your loss and win
But I want you to win me again
Or make it easy to win by me, if you still need my hand
Oh... my love, please draw my beautiful dream again
And make it come true as our gain.

Sonnet
|
The lead you own; your charge I accept
Your feet lithe, my eyes mesmerized
My joy suppressed, hope found
Your hand in mine, my dream alive.
Points important, the moment more
As you glide, my wonder is nourished
A spectator, a partner; my roles, both
Your delicate motions, I relish.
Each step an accomplishment known
The first twirl, my fear shown
The second, aggravation grown
The beginning forgotten, but procrastination key
As the dip is done, my body is numbed
The end of an assessment; the loss of your grasp.

Limerick

She’s just footloose and fancy free
Doesn’t have a husband like me
She’s lazy and fat
Just like her old cat
I’m pleased she can’t sit on my knee!
I’ve not seen her in over a year
Its her loss - no I won’t shed a tear
Thirty years with no work
A real job she would shirk
She’s made ill-health* her full time career!
Inspired by Fancy Free but not for contest
*For those of you who REALLY know me they will understand the meaning of this poem and its not about someone who is really ill just a fraud.

What words can paint this image of you
This image of your love so true
This memory which now leaves me so blue
What sonnet can I write
What tells of your love oh so rare
Your love so far beyond compare
It seemed as though we were dancing on air
What song can I sing
What melody can make the blind world see
How much your true love meant to me
Your love that set my poor soul free
No voice
No sonnet
No song
Only tears for this dream that fall without end
For a heartbreak that never ever will mend
For the loss of my one and only true best friend

SPECIAL K
Devour loneliness
Destroyed being misunderstood
She was eagerly accepted into my fold
Brought in from a harsh winter
Desolation - wet and cold.
Love likewise abstention
A lucky spontaneous introduction
No friendship – nothing so false
Glass shards and a detruding splinter
The faithfully real make a decision
A brand new connection accompanies recent loss
Empathetic spell – cast of protection – sympathetic lover
The forgetting and forgiving of another
The callused call of a brutal reflection
A vicious cycle, all the cover, uncounted cost.

I do not know?

When you lose a sister there are no words to describe,
The emptiness and pain your heart holds inside.
Your best friends gone in the blink of an eye,
Without any warning she has just died.
Remembering the past as the years drift through,
It seems they would get easier, but they never do.
The only thing that will really keep you sane,
Is knowing in heaven you'll see her sweet face again.

Monorhyme

Arm-in-arm unspoken is the message received; neither of us is looking to disperse;
Standing parallel, hands held laced, with a kiss to yours averse
I'll look for days at a loss for simple ways to remember each smile you intersperse;
Though our dinner is done, can we still be spoons who can also converse?
I hold your head, and we watch the sky fade to honey-red; day, please reverse!
Be damned the stars playing out the scene of all nights past rehearse
As city lights come on all around us, I'm lifted from a lifetime's blinding curse
On this terrace, while they sparkle in your eyes, you're showing me the universe

Lips are for talking
Loving
Biting, kissing
But why do I use mine for hurting?
I let the words flow from my lips as if there's not a tongue in my mouth
Knowing not that I have hurt you and suddenly we're playing catch-up
I fear the loss of a love that's still new
My voice speaks only half of what I want to say, I don't think I'm enough
Please ignore me, for I don't know what I tell you
I'm so Bewitched by the way your lips curl up in a smile
I become an empty shell, thoughtless and a fool
You're becoming my whole world, I want to use these lips to kiss away your demons
Just please don't let them scare you

In a game of chess against my twin flame,
We sat across the board and the battle commenced!
With each move we make, we both strive to claim
Victory, but fear of loss makes us both tense.
For we've both been “loved”, but it was not pure,
For past love was just a desire to possess,
To validate themselves as they grow and mature,
At the cost of our happiness.
But with my twin flame, it's different, you see,
She’s an equal to me, a partner in mind,
But still, we both fear to lose ourselves fully,
To someone who may, in the end, be unkind.
So we play this game, with each move so precise,
Hoping to find love, but not at our own sacrifice.

ETHERIUM
©David Arthur
I ponder long, pained eyes upon
Ice silent yesterdays
Mere memories beloved Louise
Cannot my loss allay
An ocean is my love, but not enough for you
Whose grace precedes lithe mystic steeds
The winged gods of lore
I wander on, bemused, withdrawn
In weary, wayward ways
In dreary, dotard ways
A pious mermidon
Forever is my love not long enough for you
My eternal spirit draws its neverending breath for you
All earthly will, dead quiet, still
A shade bemoans by day
And dark of night yields not respite
For grief that has no stay
A poem is my love yet not enough for you
Whose soul sublime
Stirs nobler rhyme
From bard's supernal shore

Michelle ~
my sister we have been through life suffered loss
you making conscience effort to make amends for past
Je Taime Cheri ~
Michelle~
my sister finding her own path without orders
never have I left your side knowing in time you will see
so proud to be called yours
Michelle ~my sister
Loving you always unconditionally
we all stubble and fall on this ridged road
Michelle I love you
not enough told ~

Not a day goes by
Not an hour, not a minute
Sometimes I find
Every moment has you in it
It's not too much
I simply think of you alot
I play for you, I write for you
I give you all I've got
I wonder if the time should come
As remote as it seems
Where all these thoughts would change themselves
To reality from dreams
And if they did
Would you get tired
Of hearing of my love?
Would you no longer want for me
To tell you something of
What I think, the way I feel
Of what I like of you?
Or how I'll be your troubadour
If you want me to?
And if that dream did manifest
To ever come my way
At a loss for words I would not be
I'd know just what to say
