I was fine alone
Then you showed me I was wrong
Love is amazing 

You said you loved me
Then cruel, left abruptly
I know what pain is...

Pictures and trophies
Of those I love on mantel
Heartfelt memories
Of a Sailor's love and loss
Sweetly swept me off my feet

I loved you once
But you loved me not!
I loved you anyway!
But you walked away!
You didn’t love me!
You never will!
But I am stuck here
and I love you still!...

Hope with grief 
Wanting to be part of 
Feeling unwanted
Tears crash against my lids
Screaming pain inside my heart
My love i feel so hurt with your silence...

Somebody I could count on 
Interested in architecture  
Best at making mashed potatoes    
Loved by his family 
Immersed in reading mysteries 
No matter what was said we made up   
Greatly missed...

Teeth fastened in his throat,
Claws buried in his side,
Blood gushes out of your mouth.
As he falls to the floor,
You pray he understands
You had no other choice.
This was always how this story was going to end....

It's just the getting used to
That's the hardest part 
I should have seen it coming
From the very start 
This couldn't lead to nowhere
Firm on solid ground 
You'll find my heart there somewhere
In the lost and found...

If time can be turned back


The sky isn’t blue 
But my heart is blue
Maybe I still miss you
This world is cruel.
My heart was ruined 
But that is a proof
Proving my love is ture.

Sleepy- learning more each minute.
Breathing- trying hard till I quit it.
Blinking- seeing if i truly see that.
Thinking- is all I ever need and
Luck, love, living, loss and if I -
show you who I am,
Will you show who you will be?...

Yellowing leaves of Summer
inevitably prove
the transient
and precious;
Time is still on the move..

Every moment has it's reason
Love and loss.
Joy and Fear.
But the wonder and the truth is..
A change of season's always near....

but it feels like the end....

*VIDEO of Hawaii 2023

Hawaii Explodes

A calendar marking succeeds
Absence time textures
Epic life, episodic love, eulogized loss
Enigma nailed to vacancy
The urbane explodes
Hark ambitions, "Carpe Diem"

Her primal feelings
unleashed a torrent
of pure intensity

We tasted her sorrow
as tongues of fire
Her grief stricken

love filled heart
unleashed the force
of her pure passion

Illuminating our minds
with the knowledge
of her love and loss...

Celebrating fifty years 
since her wedding day;
knowing someday Mistress Death 
will steal her love away.

Crying, trying to forget
making vows in church;
loving hubby was untrue
and left her in the lurch.

For Charlotte’s Love and Loss contest...

Love and loss are a heaven and a hell;
     a purgatory and limbo, a place
of sorting out: a place where lovers fell;
     and drift into reflective, lonely space,
a realm that's not a lover's citadel,
     but still a place where souls may yet embrace....

Reading Braile
of love n loss n misery,
life in its travail,
have to keep the mindset  busy,
and hope it doesn't fail,
never stop a looking,
cos you know this heart’s so frail...
romance can make you dizzy,
 you’re only reading braile.

Brother

Riparian observers watch waters pass
left behind, huddled in loss
our tears added to the flow
memories blazoned in our mind
with each tenuous gasp
we pound the bare earth
love and loss mingle with shock
remember
how could I forget
he’s my brother...

She wore chaos and tranquility equally well,
She spoke of strength and darkness with unchanged eloquence,
She sang of love and loss in the same bittersweet tone,
She fought and protected with no hesitation,
Yet she could not bring herself to forgive as well as forget....
