Miss You More

I'm missing you all over again
And it's not because you gave me hope
It's not because I love you more now

I miss you every day, especially at night
And it's because I gave myself hope
Because I saw you, now I see you everywhere

STAY

Come near do not take your gaze from mine
The heavens have nothing on the stars of your eyes
If you're willing take my hand. let our destinies entwine
If not then fear not for your company will grant me respite
A reprieve from the death of love unachieved
The loss of my heart to an unassuming thief
To be deprived

Premium Memberyou are my witness

I am to one 
what another is to me.

The years press 
against each other
 
producing sweet nectar 

drops of time 
that we have created  

are gone to past again.
I have told you it is so

and you are my witness
to this

To Love in Silence

My heart longs deeply,
and I am unable to remain unfazed whenever I see you.
It’s tragic to think that,
aside from the fact that there was never a "you and me,"
I cannot even hold your hand freely.
I am completely unable to call out your name
or look straight into your eyes to say:
"Whenever I don’t see you,
my eyes

To the love I never had

My love for you is Agape
It has no reason 
Though it isn't reciprocate 
To me, it has deep meaning 

My love for you has no season
It is the unending rush of a waterfall 
The eternal blossom of the wild pumpkin
It can never fade and never stop

My heart is crying, it needs you
Everything in the world

Maybe In Another Universe

Maybe in another universe, you’re mine. 

Our lives are intertwined. 

 

Maybe in another universe, you see all the tears I’ve cried,  

all my delusional sleepless nights. 

Wondering what would happen if I just told you. 

Would you kiss me in the rain and tell me, I'm your one, just me forever; 

That you’re

A Love Unrequited

Deep within my heart, a love abides,
For the man of my dreams, my soul confides.
Yet, though he tends to my every need,
His affection falls short, a wound indeed.

Each passing day, my yearning grows,
Every part of me, longing shows.
But amidst the care, a pain I find,
His gestures sometimes leave me behind.

An act, seemingly small, yet cuts

Rachel Elizabeth

Elegance as far as my heart can see 
Eyes as blue as pools of raw beauty 
A Yorkshire rose as white as snow 
Rachel a name that warms my soul. 

Despite the distance my memories won't fade 
Of a delicate goddess I was unable to tame 
Sadness and tears sting my face 
The smell of

Unsaid Things

The moment your voice fell on these ears, they didn't knew the melody it was about to become
Come days, the sight of you to my eyes, caused a joy as a kid would feel when won a prize
Slowly and steadily, you somehow manage to spread magic in the air, I heard angels were like,"Woman, don't

Premium MemberUnrequited Valentine Passion Collab

A love potion meant for her high school beau
She mistakenly spilled in my Latte to-go
With my passions on fire
When I expressed my desire
She replied "You're a bit too old, Romeo"

Catatonia, Collapse, Abiding Love

I kneel, bow, and make myself into 
A rock to ask God, 
King of the Universe, 
Give me the amateur. 
Hear my cries, Lord our God, 
And give me him. 

I plead, beg, and erode 
My rough edges; 
Almighty One, 
I want this one to be terminal. 
Please, God, place the 
Obsidian in the core

Game

all this while
I had been knocking at your door
waiting for you to traverse the space
from your locked room to the door front 
take the keys from the door side table 
and let me in

and all this while
in being the knocker
I forgot to lock my home
the doors were wide ajar
the windows un-hatched,
you’d raided all of it.

Unspoken

You see me
Without looking in my eyes
I hear you
Without speaking your truth

You touch me
Without using your hands
I love you
Without saying those words

You move me
Without pushing 
I miss you
Without trying

You are with me
Without having you near
I am with you
Without being the one

Love Unrequited

Unrequited love,
My dandelion wishes, 
Eyelash desires,
Infatuation’s dire,
And in my heart burns a fire.

Premium MemberYou Don'T Know Me

A million whispered moments pass
as I watch you glide through the crowd,
your measured steps so gracefully danced,
a coy kiss placed upon my cheek,
as you spin in place with each movement.

But it's just another whispered moment,
one in a million, lost in a breath.
A love from a distance, from another place.

You don't even know me.

Upon your chest,
