That Tree

It’s not our world anymore, there's more than just you and me
But there wasn’t when we carved our names into that tree.


I Am With You

I am with you
Even when you make me
Blue
Even when our couple
Isn’t us two
Even when you’re over me
I’m not over you

Soon saw his fame grow,
From a gospel sound
To world-wide renown-
Ends suddenly in Memphis town.

Up, down
Keeping my stairs
Please hide my sad eyes now
Take it like a man would take it
Only I can decipher the reasons

I loved him all
But he loved something different

We had it all
And then we didn't

Lost in love
That now just isn't

Dead Road

Looking back, was the rose in me,
Looser having his heart savagely grime...

Looming at the jar,
Was the poisoned love.

i believed in you and your promises
and what have i to show for it
but a broken heart

Jet Stream

a dead gum tree burns
alone on the rusted hills
in your jet stream
threading a cerulean course
toward some obscure island
Form: Tanka

Premium Member How So

How is it
that the sweetest
memories
hurt tenfold more
than those most bitter
buried deep
in this aching
heart of woe.

In smithereens
Like scattered shards of glass
Cold as winter snow
Frozen like ice

Wasted Heart

My wasted heart on loving you
Risen from the ashes anew
All sorrow gone
For now we are one .

Tears

I cry for the life that is.
I cry for the life that
Might have been,
Could have been,
Should have 
Been,
But 
   Isn't.

Ever present, sometimes languished,
Almost gone, then reestablished.
This is why, defences high!
To your offer, no reply...

Pinch

Rarity often governs price, 
and availability 
more so, than the need,
and acceptance of what is on hand.

Love's Pain

Love's pain is like a postage stamp
being licked too many times
When you wonder who she'll woo
in a letter sent with chimes
