You - Apr 10
I woke this morning, lying next to you;
Contemplating your thighs, your breasts, your face,
as you still slept at rest in a dream’s embrace,
my eyes all over your fair features flew…
I lingered here and there—a glance askew
caught subtle movements in that furtive place
beneath your eyelids, wondering what chase
your soul pursued in the other blue…
You then

The echo returns not
Alone, I stand till pain returns;
The ocean’s waves rise near.
Its roaring drowns the world outside,
Yet cannot quell my tear.
Each day, my pain revives anew~
Afraid, alone, and lost.
The street, my home, my only friend,
A life devoid of cost.
My childhood swept away by winds;
Its echoes sound no more.
From deep within, regret still burns,
An ember at my core.
The

The Shell
Hard and rigid
The life so lived and so painful
Lived to be smart, your own way and left this world wanting more
Hard and broken, rigid and angry
Soft and beautiful
The life so lived and a beautiful soul
Lived to be free, enjoy all things and left the world way too soon
Soft and loved, beautiful memories

Whispering Fate
Sacrified everything she had, yet it remained the same.
Ceased expecting anything, indifferent she became.
Ceased expressing preferences, feeling it is pointless.
Silence born from exhaustion and hopelesness.
Unaware of what was evil.
His tainted soul being deceitful.
Destroying everything alive, planting seeds of grief.
As she became someone she barely recognizes, a reflection of his needs.
Never ending feeling of emptiness.
Fate whispering

Revelation Through Heartbreak
If we forget what is true
I will stumble to be with you
Who I thought would be my one
Left me stranded, confused and undone
Losing you led to persistent grief
My mind is darkened due to a core belief
The betrayal has distorted my life
I refuse to handle your bloody, dull knife
Look in my eyes, did

Crushed
In a game of love, shadows loom,
A crush that turns my heart to gloom.
I walk a path of silent pain,
Where love's sweet whispers turn to rain.
In dreams, your smile lights the way,
But reality brings a disarray.
A crush, a weight upon my chest,
Love's bitter game, a harsh jest.
Your smile, a ray in the dark,
Yet it conceals

Rainbow
In the realm of dreams, where feelings reside,
You're the rainbow I can't touch, my heart's guide.
For seven years and more, my love has grown,
A love so deep, in my heart, it's sown.
Though you may not love me in return,
My heart still longs for the love I yearn.
A rainbow only I can see, it's true,
A love

And Throughout Vast Purple Range, Visions Cascade Down
And Throughout Vast Purple Range, Visions Cascade Down
No fictive dream deludes for now, so her heart bleeds
And weeping spirit no comfort dares to arrive
She that loved him took care of his earthly needs
Now hides in darken forest, just barely alive
And would hope to her ever really come
As she prayed for dear life and needed relief
She

EPIGRAMS IV
Improve yourself by others' writings, attaining freely what they purchased at the expense of experience.
—Socrates, loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
Are mayflies missed by mountains? Do stars
applaud the glowworm’s stellar mimicry?

I didn’t mean to love you,
but I did.
Best leave the rest unsaid,
hid-

and unbidden.

Clinical Death
You do not care and now I can't feel.
How unlike the situation between us,
we both have changed but we do not reveal.
Under social esteem, we both are dealing
with no emotions left perhaps and less appealing.
How unknown we have become
but we hardly reveal.
Perhaps that's how emotions breathe their last breath!
Born by the adrenaline finally into the

A Heart Refuses To Heal
A heart refuses to heal...
What can I do?
I have tried for years.
How to get through?
So many tears.
A heart refuses to heal...
I have pleaded my case.
Hoping to move on.
Too long in one place.
I should already be gone.
A heart refuses to heal...
My soul, seeking to help me.
Supporting my endeavor.
The result, how could it be?
My heart echoed never.
A

Months of Progression
November, I don't want you
I don't want your phrases
I don't want your time
I don't want your care
December, I don't want you
I might enjoy your praises
I might like how you try
I don't want you there
January, I might want you
I like that we're no longer strangers
I don't like it when you cry
I like the gleam in your
