Dreams were lost

This is the moment; 
Those dreams were lost! 
These yearning hearts are faraway! 
To skip the worries that we chat freely; 
But in this hurried world, it's all forgotten. 

A photograph, 
A faded hue, 
A whisper that I sent to you. 

The air is cold, 
a hollow space, 
where echoes of your laughter
Chase The fleeting moments, 
lost to time, 
A silent, 
broken, lonely chime. 

I'm sure! 
At first sight, 
body shivers; 
eyes tear up; 
soul weeps! 

Ohh.... ohh.... Hmm,
I truly miss you, my soul!!

When will faces meet again??? 

The sun goes down on hurried days, 
Lost in a lonely, misty haze. 
I search for you in every crowd, 
This present grief, a heavy cloak, 
From every memory I've evoked.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

When trust is broken 
Feelings start fading 
In love you become lazy or crazy
Can't confide in each other
A place of peace, calm or serenity 
Now a battlefield, steadily pouring out aggression on each other.

Two hearts that caress and defend each other
Start bruising or humiliating each other
As they wrestle 
The children watch, then start screaming 
Don't forget it's a programming 
Scrambling their imagination
Thinking marriage is a warfare not a welfare.

Domestic Violence
A stigma, a mind disrupter
That needs time and love
To eliminate the trauma it caused 
Many more to say, but when words are too much;
It becomes void, say no to domestic violence!!!

Randall vs Randall

what is left of me,
 once you have taken all that I am?
what words are left for me to wallow in
 after you say goodbye?
in who's arm do I find comfort,
 now that mine have been shackled?
how do I say I love you
 when I can't bring myself to love again,
 or have I ever?
how can I buy your forgiveness,
when there is so much, I cannot afford forget?
To whom do these memories belong to now
if I'm not the person I once claimed to be? 
if only Your smile could mend my broken heart.
I would be a fool to heal myself with those who pass me by.
So, I walk backwards now looking for you again.
Trying to find who I was before you left.

Sparks Will Fly

Sparks will fly between two lonely hearts,
But they might end up torn apart.
No matter how hard both will try,
The sparks between two hearts will die.
But then the cycle will restart.

This will be our story’s first part,
Two lovers decide to depart.
But even though both lovers cry,
Sparks will fly.

The two lovers get past this subpart,
And decide to seek a fresh start.
She ties the knot with the perfect guy,
And he marries the apple of his eye.
Even in the midst of a broken heart,
Sparks will fly.

One Too Many

		

‘You’ve had one too many’
Declared old Paddy’s wife
She always spoiled his evenings 
With her ‘trouble’ and her ‘strife’

‘I’m absolutely sober’ 
He replied with much aplomb
‘I’ve only had a couple
And I’m drinking beer, not rum’

‘I don’t care what you’re drinking,
You don’t know when to stop
I rue the day I married you
You useless, boozy sop’

‘Oh, hold your blather, Missus
Give that whinging voice a rest
The day you married me 
I’ll have you know you got the best’

‘Got the best? Well I’ll be buggered
You really are a pain
I wish that you’d get off yer ass
And fix that broken windowpane’

Now at this Paddy got real pissed
And sat up in his chair
‘Don’t you talk to me of work!’
He said with wild-eyed glare

‘I’ve worked myself to death for you
But you only whinge and moan
I swear I’ll clobber you real good
If you keep on with that tone’

But she was unrepentant
And continued with her rant
On and on she chided him
With never ending cant

The last was one too many 
For this much maligned hubby
So he lurched across the kitchen
And he hit her with his stubby!

Matters On Breakup Relationship

If the relationship ends here let it end 
No matter how beautiful the watch if it has lost battery 
It's worth zero, there is beauty but waiting it's useless 
The relationship that wants to end don't hold it on 
No matter how long or deep the relationship is 
It is better to end it up necessarily
Without battery, the clock cannot give the correct time 
It's not much possible to sort out anyway 
If you hold the ending relationship with negotiation 
It is possible to last two days or two months, not more
It is more beautiful than seeing your face in a broken mirror 
It is better to be alone than to love person not loving you no more
In a relationship with the mentality of leaving 
One who wants to go once he will go 
Let it be today or tomorrow he will go
You just have to start practicing adjusting things.

Premium MemberYou, Me, and the Truth


You said it was my fault
And I said you were to blame
You said this love, you’d halt
I said, this is such a shame

You said I deserved the hurt
I said you weren’t worth the pain
You said I’d need to convert
But I said your bitterness was plain

You said it was never your mistake
Yet, I felt like it was your doing
You said I was just a crazy flake
I said you weren’t worthy of pursuing

You said I was nothing but irate
And I said you had broken my heart
You said, my love had turned to hate
But I knew you were surely no sweetheart

You said more than I can justify
I said more than I should have said
Finally, the time came when you’d say goodbye
And I would look back to a love now dead

The Truth, though, the truth would reveal
How both of us had given into selfish ways
We’d realize, only too late, how it would feel
The loneliness, the heartbreak, the dark days

The truth would soon remember the love we shared
How we lost more than just another friend
We lost the beautiful joy of someone who truly cared
And, it was the truth that grieved the most, in the end.

A broken marriage 
scattered pieces lost within 
cracks in the sidewalk

Divorce 2

In the heart of a storm, a child stands tall
Caught between the fierce winds of a divorce
Her parents' love shattered, their bond broken
Yet amidst the chaos, she finds solace

With her mother, she finds warmth and comfort
A gentle embrace in the midst of turmoil
Her mother's love, a beacon of light
Guiding her through the darkest of nights

But her father, a shadow of resentment
A looming figure of anger and pain
His presence a reminder of a fractured past
A source of anguish and bitter disdain

Yet still, the child remains steadfast
In her love for her mother, she finds peace
A sanctuary in a world torn asunder
Her mother's love, a fortress of grace

And though the storm rages on
She stands strong in her mother's embrace
For in her heart, she knows true love
Is found in the arms of the one who stays

Premium MemberSea Glass

A lonely life  it’s not easy being a fisher’s wife 
but loneliness can be a compassionate companion

unbridled spite of bucking boss-mare-waves followed you ashore
her turmoil roiled the blood in your veins
and no amount of vodka 
could flatline her seething heartbeat inside you

I saw her in your storm-full eyes  eyes the color of stormy seas
you wore your hair in dark waves like hers   a windblown tangle
I saw her in your storm-full eyes   spindrift and steel blue —
rage of the Bering Sea against a canvas-sky the portrait of your eyes

your tongue-shard slashed at me like a broken bottle in hand
word-squalls blew and fist-storms
flew like splintered glass 
piercing me to my marrow till I glistened 
but… I could never glisten like her unblemished face at dawn

years of boss-mare-waves ground you down – razor edges worn smooth
your storm-tossed-heart now floats.. a lost raft on a tamed tsunami 
your flat-sea-eyes the ancient blue of glacier ice
frosted over   dull   yet with a faint glow of stories you can’t tell
as you search a cognitive wasteland for words as harmless as sea glass

Broken Ring

You made me a home.
Then, you just took it back.
You healed my home.
Then, you cut it back.
You painted me chrome.
Then, you stripped it black.
You shaped my globe.
Then, you squished it flat.
You made me a home.
So, you could just take it back.

Premium MemberUnbridgeable Chasm

Last night my thoughts dwelled in melancholy
recalling what we once shared had been good
before we made the mistakes of mutual folly
and on opposite sides of a bridge we now stood

You called, I answered. Both having need to talk
but the bridge between us still kept us far apart
Would one of us take the first step of the walk,
afraid the risk would end again with a broken heart?

We spoke of memories that we both held dear,
and of those that caused me to wear a sad frown
Neither of us moved. We were still standing here,
in fear that one step would burn the bridge down

Is it too late to cross the deep chasm of this abyss?
Would holding you in my arms change even one thing?
Could love be rekindled with one passionate kiss?
Then, you said you were taking off your wedding ring.

At the foot of that bridge, I stood completely alone
as you walked away without one word of goodbye
Into that unbridgeable chasm, I tossed my phone
and threatened my eyes, "Don't you dare start to cry."

Broken

A long marriage, once filled with love and laughter,
Now brings the me nothing but pain thereafter.
Years of devotion and commitment I gave,
But my heart and soul now long to be brave.
My husband I married so long ago,
A shell of the man that I once used to know.
The love that once burned bright and strong,
Now extinguished, leaving me feeling wronged.
My spirit yearns to soar and be free,
To break away from what I no longer wants to be.
My dreams of a life filled with passion and joy,
A life where I can be my true self, no longer a toy.
The chains of tradition that bind me so tight,
Are now nothing but a burden, a constant fight.
I long to break free and spread my wings,
To dance in the sunshine, and feel the wind sing.
I want freedom, a chance to start anew,
To rediscover myself, and find what's true.
It's not easy to walk away from what ive known,
But my heart tells me it's time to leave, and i must go.
A long marriage that once was strong,
Now has come to an end, and I must move along.
I will take my memories of love and laughter,
But now it's time for a new chapter.

Premium MemberDream Catcher

Rest awhile, 
the day is at its end and you feel broken,
and as tomorrow too seems hopeless,
I will open up my arms to hold you,
so close your eyes,
pillow me,
I'll be your dreamless slumber,

I'll revise your revile,
spill your secrets to the moonlight,
kiss goodnight the tears worth while, 
and carry you through dawn,
but if you tomorrow too should crumble,
do so within my arms,
so you don't lose a piece of who you are,
then close your eyes, 
pillow me,
I'll be your dreamless slumber

Miedo Al Matrimonio

I fear the plunge, of lifelong commitment 
The pressure to make a decision in a moment
The stress that accompanies the planning 
The worry that I'm not enough understanding 

I worry I'll be overwhelmed by the expectations 
The fear that I'll regret the life I'm selecting 
The thought of the vows, the ring, and the dress 
The idea of giving up my freedom and happiness 

I fear the thought of sharing my life with another 
The thought of never again being a single lover 
The possibility that the love won't stay strong 
The fear of being in a broken home for so long 

I fear the thought of marriage making me old 
The idea that I won't be able to grow and be bold 
The thought of having to forget my dreams 
The fear that I won't be able to break free it seems 

I’m scared of choosing the wrong one
Then making me to always be on the run
I’m scared of disappointing my parents, not going for their choice
I’m scared of not being my future in-laws choice.

But I know my fears are only in my head 
That I'll be able to make it, even if I dread 
The thought of marriage is scary, I know 
But I know I can make it, no matter how
