Looking For You

Morning’s golden

Kisses my wings
As I fly 
To the sky
Looking for you
Instead, I found 
Half moon 
Aloft

a passion for words
lost in thought with pen in hand
feeling euphoric
vibrant colors in my mind
observations to be shared

I once was a free spirit
who was so positive and happy
that has lost my happiness
and all i feel is gloom
and sadness

Escaped as a soft whisper
Lost in the dark night
Ending a tortuous past
Closing forever cycles

Leave Me Alone

Leave me alone
Take your heart of stone
And go
You broke me
All I had to give
Wasn't enough
Just go
Leave me alone

The Quiet Roar

Deafening thunder,
cries from down under

Voices of silence
—lost in the wind

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2020)

A Man In a Dream Called Once His Wife

A man in a dream called once his wife
By another women's name.
What can I say? He lost his life
In bed, without pain .

Almost

Almost yours
Almost together
Almost in love
Almost forever
Almost worthwhile
Almost a fit
Almost tried
Almost quit

I
day of promise
day of deceit
will we advance, retreat?

the reason, a door
Hers, Mine, ours -
Open or closed

Sorrow

Everyone has

No one can touch

Tears

In the distance

Forever lost

In a world of  pain

Floating endlessly

Bitter Road

Take the moment, then, my heart and home
Take it and be gone.
Leave me rising dust and memories
To kill me when alone.

Tears of Love

my face is a a trace
of drop i cryed a lot
when you went away
right to day
come from heaven above
these are
TEARS OF LOVE

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.

Selfish Desires

Feeling abandoned
Your enforced expectations
Got you entangled
In selfish desires to mold
Their existence to your own

REHEARSAL

Knees bent in plié
Pink chiffon twirls in chaîne 
Shoe lost in dismay.

is hurt coming from going love's start

Innocence Gone

He had great disdain for her
Enough to eliminate
The soft parts of her
He never associated the bones
To the pale girl

memories muddled 
in night’s stillness, lost love haunts
The scorpion’s sting, pains

can't re-assemble
what the forgotten has lost

memories you must firstly
dis-member them carefully
