Premium Member Suspended Souls

To have loved and lost
are a heaven and a hell;
and the place between
is their own purgatory,
a limbo of sorting out.

Florida 2022

No number of letters strewn 
can fairly capture
the glory of pure unadulterated hope
faith

in the face of total loss

Mourning Dove

I can't stand the sound of a mourning dove
Because it take me back Home
And I'm not there anymore

It's my favorite bird

Doomed Loveless

I know how I feel about you
But I don't know how you feel about me
It doesn't really matter
Because I know we'll never be.

Somebody To Love

I have no roof to shelter under
When the sky begins to rain
For an umbrella through the thunder
I will always hope in vain.
Form: Rhyme

Sunset

The sunset bids 
quick goodbye.

It leaves behind
Orangey-red days,
Light-grey shadows 
That slowly dip into one's mind.

Crying Over You

tho you gone to heaven
forever
am left with this pain
my eyes or like rain
don't know what to do
am still
CRYING OVER YOU

Chasing Ghosts

Dating vague memories
Voice from the distant past
Do I dare brave the unknown?
Am I chasing dreams
Or am I chasing ghosts

Velvet Teeth

She smiled like sin in silk—
slow, sweet, and sharp beneath.
He kissed her anyway.
Called it love.
She called it
strategy.

Only you
Know me
My open door invites you in
just to break me once again
Where is
A locksmith
When needed?

My Love

Great love
My love
But what great love bears not great pain
If not in daily tribulation
Then at thy final parting

Meatsy

Shifted child 
hither and away
ripped roots clipped
soil untended
uncertain tender shoots
beneath the snow
fear spring thaw

Memory - a Ninette

Red.
Burning.
Covetous.
Neurons on fire.
You are the one thing.
The many things.
I let go.
But not.
Yet

Lost

She told me
She doesn’t love me
So I wander about
Feeling as though
Nothing is right
I have become a Corvette
With a VW engine

Blue Portrait

The ships gone adrift
On the blue portrait of us
Were just two strangers
No destination in mind
Every port just looks the same
Form: Tanka

The flowers have died

The flowers died on Monday,
The ones that lay next to her bed

They pulled the plug on Monday,
The roses shrivelled up and dead.

Premium Member Cold Shiver

I
shudder
to think
what
the world
would be
without
the moon
the stars
the sun
without you

be brave
when darkness comes
and braver still
when not for you
it lingers in
the broken heart
and feeds upon
unquenched desire

Permanence

i thought sadness was just a feeling
'til you made it my addiction
i thought pain was just temporary
'til you tattooed it on my skin

room of mirrors

moments of solitude
reflections of light
memories of faces
I’ve seen
faces of memories
light of reflections
solitude of moments
