A Fault In YOUR Sentiment
I yearn for not but your devotion true
A sacred bond you must uphold
You breathed me in the breath I drew
Yet love runs from you faint and cold
Have I transgressed? I toil in vain,
Yet still, you shun my desperate plea.
Affection spurned, a heart in pain,
Forsaken in this MISERY.
Hey, sire, would you ever love?
“I do not, I

The Chair
In his old leather chair
he sits and blinks his eyes
the off white sits on his hair
like dust upon the mantle.
A murky sea of bluish grey
where smoking gave him cataracts
but they still burn of yesterday
the tobacco stains sit deep inside.
As he sits in his old leather chair
his eyes do blink and dart to catch
his arms sit

In the fog of human sentiment, where shadows lose their form
In the fog of human sentiment, where shadows lose their form,
I see them drifting, those with weak hearts, cloaked in borrowed sorrow,
Their essence, a barely heard whisper, lost in the cacophony of others' cries,
They wander through life, a nameless mist, feeling for everyone but themselves.
Their hearts, a sponge for every tear, every sigh,
And yet, in

A beautiful milestone of combined sentiment
How could I not love the level to which you live life perfect, so insouciant
You would walk beside me in heavy rain, with no umbrella; to contentment
We are both happy with our makeup, souls binded in water so succulent
A combination of an unlikely myriad, to which we equally compliment
Each other in a way

Wind of the past
The autumn that had remained monotonous-
For many decades,
Now tears and takes pieces of hearts,
Along with its old leaves, flowers,
Leaving a nostalgic scent behind.
Every preceding winter that warmed people,
Returned this year, demanding-
All the warmth that blanketed their memories,
While it left them alone, in the

sentiment
I hope you know how much you mean to me
Even though you'll never feel the way I do
It's unbearable, but it's true
Can't have what we once had
I should've known, you hated me
There's no salvation, no pieces to pick up
Just kneel to the floor, feel your heart beat
I know it's unbearable, but she doesn't even know
Everything

The History of Sentiment
tapping on the bottom of the chair,
hoping for an alteration of essence
strictly of the background noise
withstanding only what i can hear
i endured a barrier around a chasm,
one within my body,
to which the walls are water
and the center is my breath
i may drown for the recklessness of my visits,
on red pluses and shimmering silver
a peculiar feeling

Good Looks Can Generate Sentiment
Espresso is brewing: that's my fix,
not my expensive Rolex;
this Ralph Lauren suit is elegant.
Good looks can generate sentiment;
worry, rush and stress perplex!

Praise the Lord man women and child young and old for his greatness

Sentiment Likey-
I've touched her heart;
I saw her soul;
I felt her breath;
She's alive, she's whole;
I've tasted her pain;
I spoken aloud her name;
I've been a witness;
She's alive, she is well
