After four years of marriage
I cannot remember my life before
You turned my life around
Showed me life was so much more
Now every memory is of us
Every thought is about you
In everything that I partake
It's a reminder of you
You loved me when I was down
But I never made it to my feet
I was pulling you with me
With my anger and deceit
As you walked away I saw
That you had tears in your eyes
I know it wasn't easy for you
And I had had a million tries
You won't answer your phone
You refuse to talk to me anymore
That hurts my already broken heart
That shattered here on the floor
I wouldn't change a thing
About all our good times at least
But I'd change every argument
And I never would be that beast
Life, the ambivalent gift
Built of moments, incidents, experiences,
Images in colour, lingering
In cameos, memories, scattered
Blending in feelings
Breezes stirring love, need, fear,
Joy sometimes
All made of precious little bits
Vulnerable to annihilation
From what is listed
Thereof sing
Into the dark
Absorbent void
Which is the future
And sweet life lived together
In the grip of Time
Twists into sadness;
Contemplates forever
What used to be.
The river of love is dry, heart is dead,
music sepulchral, both had wept and said,
the door is locked and silence reigns within,
the battle is lost, nothing here to win.
tears no longer flow, and no reason to,
the birds fly past in silence as they go,
garden is desolate, roses have dried,
no remorse that the bond has been untied,
who can solve the riddle of broken heart,
where deep love and trust had once played a part,
the fading glimmer of setting evening,
darkness fills where once was new beginning.
No hope or wish to reorder days past,
the field has been scorched black and all is lost,
I walk in slow steps to life on my own,
memories live on, but I shall not mourn.
It was love at first sight
Everything about her felt so right
Her shape, her motion, her shade of brown
He took her with him to every venue in town
But then, with no more basketball games slated
The love of his life quickly deflated
Firstly I loved a Libran who seemed so fair,
He lives his life with a certain kind of flair,
Yet over time showed he never would care
About the ways I would leave my heart bare.
Secondly I loved a Geminian man so couth
He listened to me even when I spoke truth.
But after few years, he took me for granted,
I felt a sudden silence left my heart slanted.
Thirdly, finally, I met an Aquarian so perfect,
I fallen so fast for his sweet, cool intellect.
I love him for all of what he is and has been,
I want to be in his future in which we win.
I loved through all three air element signs,
I indeed tried each like they were fine wines.
But now I see, fate was simply preparing me
To be mature enough for my true destiny.
For those who study the cosmos,
There is one fact they will learn,
We are all made of stardust
And to stardust we will return.
So, don’t look for me in just one place,
For it is not where I shall be,
I will be somewhere out in the cosmos,
Scattered, drifting and free,
Helping to build a myriad things,
My everlasting legacy.
In truth he was a cowardly snake,
Who left when my life was at stake,
Who I forgave in a new take,
Yet he will never be someone for my sake.
I hope someday his heart will break,
Because of how he left mine in ache.
I am sad his soul is another I cannot wake,
Even after trying after realizing he is fake.
You’re not here with me tonight
But you haven’t been in awhile
I believe you’re coming home again
That’s the beauty of being in denial
That ship has long ago set sail
Any bridges burned and torn down
With my shattered heart and regrets
I’m a failed king without a crown
I turned a love so amazing and pure
Into this loneliness and heartbreak
With out of my life is falling all apart
I caused more pain than I can take
I’m searching for any sign of hope
Stuck between denial and reality
Praying you will knowing you won’t
Some day come back home to me
Those two dates were the greatest in my life,
Until you decided our chemistry was a lie.
Those two dates lead to a period of strife
In which you eventually made me cry.
Those two dates were of so much value,
Until you decided what we have can just die.
Those two dates made me feel it was true
That you too could eventually for me try.
Those two dates made me feel so alive,
Until you decided we can no longer try.
Those two dates made me feel I could thrive
Alongside you until the day you die.
Those two dates are engraved in my heart,
Until you realize we can someday again try.
Those two dates of ours before we fell apart,
Will always be why I'll never die.
Dear Eos,
I
wish I still felt passion in my heart toward
the generous soul that you are.
You always saw beauty in the world
and painted strokes of life
with a brush of sweetness and delight.
I
am sorry for the suffering life's put you through.
The heart is a fickle thing. It simply was not meant to be.
We've walked together but now our paths divert,
we take with us the lessons that we learned.
----Tithonus.

You're not doing a stellar job
distracting me with idle chatter.
Life is not something to be ignored
and swept under a mat.
I've been living in limbo
no matter how you sugarcoat it.
Life is short and every beat matters.
Every day is another notch in the cog of time fleeting.
Life is a race to the finish line,
an obstacle course of sorts.
Ignoring the elephant in the room is
an embarassing act of cowardice.
Sometimes saying something-anything
is better than the insult of shameless pussyfooting.

Why does a winter day
often cast
Upon its grey streets
thoughts of the past
Sunshine, we gaily thought
would never fade
Laughter and lightness,
promises made
Why does life often
take a wrong turn
Why does it take
a lifetime to learn
Endings are, at their best,
always sad
Goodbyes are the worst:
incurably bad
I realize Spring's flowers
are very near
Robins will fly in with
new songs to hear
But in Winter's shadows
our memory hides
And in its stark echos
sadness abides
Sincere apologies
Diabolical policy
My part in your life
losing its novelty
Babe magnet wannabee
Recurring anomalies
Quantity first and always above quality
In the rush of living my heart stops
between each beat
and for a moment
or maybe just half a moment
she is there.
Not once, but always;
Waiting for me
between those beats,
in every one of my remaining days.
“ I miss you.”
Written as if the sun’s passing mattered more.
As if being uttered with muttered words,
heard only in the hollow of a poets’ dream,
could bring the past to life
or resurrect a love.
Inside my breast, an empty aching heart
beats for no reason since we're apart.
Each day, the sun across the sky does swing.
I wonder when I will not feel the sting
of when, from my life, you did depart.
To feel, once more, the warmth that orb did bring,
As when I last heard your voice's gay ring,
I look on the vivid field of flowers,
from my balcony for weeks, days, and hours,
and carefree birds fluttering on the wing.
Yet as comes the Autumn, Winter, and Spring,
and these bright birds, so beautifully sing,
until up my walk, you come back to me,
only sadness will I hear and see,
like each melancholy violin string.
