Our spark was a magenta-aqua gradient supernova. A bright flash of love so nearly blinding it was eye-opening. Our talks echo in the chambers of my inner cosmos....

I drew a rendering with love's charcoal of your face, held in my soul It's drawn on the cave wall of my mind believing it would fade with memory I visit this cave in silent twilight when the world is still and I'm alone where I can...

Blue Is The Warmest Color
We met in a coffee shop off Fifth Avenue In Jersey. You were so magnetic; your eyes shone so brightly. A couple of years passed by; and our paths crossed once more through the entanglement of interwoven destiny. We both ended up in that coffee shop again. I have to ask: Did the blue in your hair fade naturally, or did you lose...

Slipping away
My head crashes to the desk. Flashbacks—oh, so cruel. A hammering heart, a desperate soul, I reach to touch you… But you vanish. I run to you, but you’re always faster, Slipping away again. “Come back,” I scream. He says, “No, I don’t love you… I never really did.” Silence. I stop running. “No… no.” Sobs break free. My chest feels hollow— Not from grief, But from the absence of...

Premium Member My Secret Plight
Shadows shift in flickering flame Vows made, now stained with your name Our flame, once bold and bright Now wanes upon this cold, stark night I see the distance in your eyes Reflecting echoes of love’s goodbye Emptiness fills your silent stare A longing still lingers in the air Your heart, once gentle, has lost its grace Betrayal bleeds—a bitter taste Sarcasm drips from...

Dear Eos, I wish I still felt passion in my heart toward the generous soul that you are. You always saw beauty in the world and painted strokes of life with a brush of sweetness and delight. I am sorry for the suffering life's put you through. The heart is a fickle thing. It simply was not meant to be. We've walked...

Wandering desires have wandered in the shadows
The feelings of the mind are hidden behind the clouds Unexpected changes abound in the storm The steps have been taken on a path without turning Life's lessons have taught me the way to walk Crazy thoughts have forgotten the lessons learned Chasing dreams that didn't come true The desires of the youth have gone astray...

let her know
Let her know. Did you let her know her? When you stopped being obsessed with her? She still stares at the pictures, now it’s all just a memory that keeps playing in her mind. She misses telling you about her day and your magical presence. But did you let her know when you weren’t hers anymore? Can the clock stop, adjusting without...

Premium Member A Whisper Into the Kitchen Floor
He tastes the salt before he knows he's shed a tear He'd always been a staggering man Since his Army days known by most simply as Big Roy Now he's a staggered man This night, curved and hunched Bags so heavy and dark under his eyes They'd just as well be rotten figs about to fall And splat and stain the ground...

Our promenade - a streetlamp shines on cream fog memories, conjuring crusty croissants, piquant parmesan pasta, as tiramisu tarts tease, sweetly taunting my tongue and shining cream fog memories on coffee, black and bitter....

Really a goodbye?
Nobody told me The fear of losing For loving someone so hard Was something so harsh Saw you then not too long after Give or take just years later Turned my head back, saw your smile Happiest I've felt in a while...

LET LOVE LEADS
I know you’re hurting I know you're completely lost But just this once Let love lead the course. Let it lead, gentle as light Mending the broken bridges Guiding you gently home Back to where you’ve always belonged. Love has its simple ways It thrives in the dark Plants a candle in your chest And teaches the heart to trust again. So let it reach you. Let...

SECOND CHANCE
If I ever had to live with regret It would be the choice I made That day just past midday When the world dropped its mask. There I stood adrift in thought Drowning in a tide of anger Sinking beneath my own silence Wounded by what I didn’t know. If I could build a softer clock I’d turn its hands back gently To the moment...
