The clouds parted like the pursed lips of desire
the sky holding back its secrets suddenly, the clouds part
someone’s lips part; they’re caught in moment of yearning
Tight restraint release like clouds opening to reveal the stars,
waiting to whisper, even the heavens feels tension of desire
sometimes hold back what they long to share until can’t
Feeling silence listens to the heart holding its passion.

Soon Parted
When Sonnet and Limerick parted
Sonnet became most brokenhearted
Limerick though blue
Met up with Haiku
It was over soon as it started.

Parted Lovers
We broke up at sunset,
under the wailing cry of a baby jet paddling through the evening sky.
We admired the leaking light,
our twin shadows retreating
into the lustreless night.
We're finished.
We'd diminished.
The sun, parting from the day,
stole its radiant light—
and love, too,
fell into decadent blight.
The last minute-mile

Her Parted Soul
Her Parted Soul
. for public domain
She hoped that just a precious few
would catch her when she stumbled,
to lift her from her broken knees
when so her spirit crumbled.
But precious few were off at play.
They did not hear her cry;
and in the end as she went down
the Hope within her died.
Hope's fellows, Faith and Charity,
lay too within

At the crossroads of time, where April flinches in buds parted
At the crossroads of time, where April flinches in buds parted,
Spring dwells in the temple, a priestess in a procession of timid lights.
A gentle breeze blows, carrying dreams stormy on the orbit of the stars,
Through the tumult of vegetation, it is reborn - the wild and untamed soul of the earth.
The murky water heads toward

Parted But Joined
When you were born
On the first of July
I was so broken hearted
I wished I could die
'Cause I'd made the choice
To say goodbye
Such a sad sounding word
Still makes me cry
I stood hour after hour
In the hospital ward
Just looking at you face
I never got bored
The window between us
Cut like a sword
The bond we had forged
Through

Like a nymph from Arden,
She entered my life’s garden.
Like lightning to me, she came;
For me, she was an ideal dame.
As feminine as a jasmine flower,
She found in me a protective bower.
I traced sweet nectar in her talk,
And a dancing swan in her walk.
Her floating

A Final Adieu They Parted
Sun light
escapes
between
dramatic dark clouds
ships sail
in the distance
away
from waves of the sea
adieu
sigh

Parted
Standing in the queue for my turn,
seeing others faces, under blazing sun.
ok, insanely I am still human,
As, stupid habits for everyone, its given.
One path leading to another,
Everytime it felt more and more better.
Day arrived, change of plan,
Execution ground was somewhat different.
Ohh, its same, just a new work game,
trying to slip away from one, to have

Parted Soften Hearted-
a softened heart is parted;
as the soul holds the spirit started;
mind is racing head spinning;
a soften heart is parted;
humanity and bracing winning;
true love is offering up forgiveness;
a softened heart is parted;
as the soul holds the spirit start

Hair
Please keep me from falling
I’m a hair on your head.
Don’t leave me some morning
All alone on our bed.
Don't let me be parted
Or removed from my roots.
Please keep me from falling
To be trampled by boots.
Don’t take me out swimming
But left floating behind.
Gargling in a pool drain
I would find most unkind.
If I should live to be
Your last

God Parted the Sky
GOD PARTED THE SKY
For months we had planned a great day of fun,
Of rides and of food for just everyone.
A hot air balloon, a man who’d jump high
On his cycle with tricks way up in the sky.
We prayed for salvation of many lost souls,
We prayed for the weather to be in control.
So many spent hours
