Looking For You

Morning’s golden 
Dawning
Kisses my wings
As I fly 
To the sky
Looking for you
Instead, I found 
Half moon 
Aloft


Sorrow

Everyone has

No one can touch

Tears

In the distance

Forever lost

In a world of  pain

Floating endlessly

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

Take your heart of stone

Just go
Leave me alone

By another women's name.

In bed, without pain .

Almost together

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

Even to this day, in my world of dreams, he is still haunting.

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

Premium Member Lies, In a Box

You gave me a box of darkness
Disguised as a heart of love
You locked my peace inside it
Then paraded for all the world

Rushing to nowhere
The dead are lowest on time
For eternity
Self-condemned to walk empty
Though life works differently
Form: Tanka

I'M Sorry

I'm sorry
For all
The times
I said no.
I'm sorry
That this
Is how
It is.
When we are together
The world is young.

Scars Left Behind

Behind friendly smile and bright eyes are scars
left by raw pain and sorrow
Heart broken when love died

True Love

Did you ever stop and think
When you got that little wink
And she always called you honey
All her lust was just for money.
Form: Rhyme

Free

the broken voice
in only dreams
sings
lifted safely
on unconscious
wings
of joy and love
it can speak these
things
Form:

Not Taut

I love not
That I ought
For I sought
What I had fought.

I hate aught
That I should not
For I forgot
What I besot.
Form: Monorhyme

Waves of Turning

You don't know
what you do to me
I stare
and I hope
that it will be ok
I don't want to be
washed away 
by the waves

Love?

Love?

Forever disgraced.
Imagined love drenched in pain
Leaves a lost soul dry.

Crushed faces
Shattered hearts
Lifeless inside
Now apart
Joy became hatred
Love destroyed
He's gone
And left a void
