My Lonely Heart Poems

On the night before Christmas, alone in my house, 
Sorrow gnawed at my soul, like a ravenous mouse.
Entombed in my blankets, I struggled to sleep,
Ready to snap if I counted more sheep.

I rose at the sound of scratching and creaking.

When my heart
was no longer content in solitude;

I asked;

"Oh my lonely heart, 
what is it that you desire?"

Softly it whispered

for her heart beats to ease your breathless sighs,
so softness of her voice soothes suppressed sorrows -
silent secrets still shield.

For, your...Read More

i watch my footsteps
fade within the break
of morning's light
as i feel your breath
in a weathered touch
against my flesh

in a cascade of thoughts
i am swept into the depths
of the ocean's allure
as it slowly kisses
against the shore
pulling back
in a teasing way
before inching
closer...Read More

My lonely heart looks upon a pale blue sky
that grows dark
with a quiet and solemn understanding of what was
a love...never to be forgotten
now a stumbling wanderer
trying to cross the heart's desert
where the sun will set without color
and songbirds are only...Read More

Quietly I spoken, true words;
To shy to say;
Too shy to say out loud;
I love you!!
Spoken beautifully and loud and clear,
For the world to hear;

You're the only love I know

There are women everywhere I go,
but they don't mean a thing to me,
You're the only love I know,
and it comes so easily.

It doesn't matter what I do,
only your love occupies my mind,
I'll never ever let...Read More

I will not ask you to sacrifice your light for me
as I am unworthy of its glorious glow

Instead...I ask you to hold my humble shadow close
to splay light upon its darkness
and allow me to see through the pains of my...Read More

In my heart there's no longer 
loneliness from longing for love.
Finally found someone to love, 
but he is my silent sorrow manifest.

In my chest there's still even now 
a prolonging lonesomeness.
Finally found somewhere to live, 
but it is my isolating...Read More

The lioness hums... 

The wafting inside my head, 
Whirling afloat, like a hurricane. 
I tell myself, The worst she can say, is no
 
Perchance the lioness winks... 
I will offer my lonely heart to her.
My roar will echo through heaven

As winter hazes of January spraying
While I was meditating on how
To write this riveting poem which
Seemed to be for someone who
I never cast in my sight.
Despite her name is not an odd in me
But I know she will be something...Read More

Sea View And Love's Loss

They are quivering
With beauty and strange alarm,
Wild roses in the thunder.

The great sea drowned
Those tiny footprints
On the sands
Of my lonely heart

Believe in me
And reflect on me
Grieve with me
Zone out freely

Zone out whenever you like
I will be riding my future bike
I don’t have much money, my dear
There are several possibilities and opportunities..I missed several of those, I fear

Don’t leave me 
Abide...Read More

Peace flows over my body
     In calming, cooling waves.

With sweet revelations of love.

A solitary man
I make my way up the mountain
One step at a time
The life I know further and further behind
I wish to be alone
away from the busyness 
the incessant noise
my many responsibilities
life’s never ending activities
work that is never done
all of...Read More

Privelidge

The kind that fuses with the echoes of every lost kiss
It Fuses to your pores; reminds you of the score
Surviving wounds deep in the core; the girl I never was before

Hoping to find a place to out smart

a woman with radiant glow

Ol’ Suzy


Remember ol’ Suzy Jackson?
That girl was a boat load of fun.
Kissing behind the shed,
till our faces were red,
and we knew we had found the one.

I thought I’d lost her when she moved;
leaving my love for her unproved.
But, I found...Read More
