She Speaks Love To Him
her
past love
speaks to him
in her poems
her words like crumbs on a trail for his eyes
leading him to her silhouette of warmth
she bares her soul
cries of pain
It hurts

In awe of him I stared as if he a mountain
of grey glaciers where black butterflies
drooped wings eyelids of the miserable mourner
our wasted limbs entwined, celtic knots half drawn
wilted wanderers wanting a feather bed
on which to lie, under glinting satin sunsets.
nociception of pain
of the past love
mediators of inflamed
passion
potentials of action
generated again
dogs are sharing their lunch
in the end of the umpteenth
free nerve endings
she dwells
we are watching the
dogs of saambalpoor
moving in a different
frequency
Form:
Hand-in-hand gossiping widows
sit on vacant, unwashed benches
enjoying the warmth of the day while
glancing at men awaiting nothing
as they stare into space
overwhelmed by the barrenness of loneliness
and sorrows as mental images
recall a past love.
Dreaming will continue.
I saw you lift the glass,
While I sat still in the class,
Staring out at the grass,
As Julius Lilos walked past,
Lost in thoughts of mass,
And echoes of the past,
That I can't quite surpass,
Bounded by shadows cast,
Leaving me gasping fast,
Shattered, like broken glass.
Where Saffron grew
is a Nursing home now
the demolished past
haunts us again
Where lovers once strode the fields
is a motorway now
Past love, knew no bounds
With faith in each other
and infinitive love
we walk the freckled way
The Ghosts speak softly
They have been recalled today
My poetry speaks and wants to talk about everything...
From the lost memory of the lived epic
from the cold, from the wind that howls past love...
From the scribbles of unregistered memories...
everything that was sketched, but was not consummated....
it was just lost.... !
Everything that happens to me, I write... !
How to let go,when your all I know...
How to walk away,when you were my day...
How long does it take to heal from this pain...
How long do I walk in tears of rain...
Time doesn't heal the hurt I felt that day...
It just stretches it out till it finally fades...
written today based on a past love...

Life, lies, and deceit
A tear frozen on a timeless cheek
A past love, a past life
A new love, a tortured wife
A whirlwind of drinks and drugs
A push, a shove, a broken love
A rope, first flight, no life
A tear, time stops, no wife
The beginning, an end
The end, a beginning
Life, love, lies, and deceit
A tear frozen on a timeless cheek
Why can't you love me when I love you?
Why couldn't you be there for me when I needed you?
Why couldn't you have just been okay?
Why did you cheat on me that day?
Why can't we make everything go away?
Why can't we sit along that beautiful bay?
Why on that day,
did you take our love away?
Why couldn't you have loved me,
When I then once loved you too.

Past Loves
What loves in time
When I tried to make you mine
Did I miss what you said
And I didn’t know love was bred
Whispered so close to me
What I didn’t see
When I walked away
Leaving the things I didn’t say
Time now brings back the tears
Shed for me in those past years
What would have become
Of a past love not began.
© Paul Warren Poetry
Do you ever get that
momentary lapse in time
When you can't get a past love
off your mind
You're caught in the deep end
sinking fast
Wanting to go forward but
stuck in the past
I thought I saw mine last night
on the street
The one with Le Cafe where we
once used to meet
But like all star-crossed lovers
caught up in despair
We tend to see some things
that aren't really there.
Within my weary mind, lies a memory of our kiss
I cannot help but tell you, how much I really miss
Quickly had you gone and with you went my heart
An emptiness I now feel, because you did depart
No other love can fill the void, existing deep within
I am wishing it be filled by you, a new life to begin
Alas, no word from you, as distance then controls
Our love is just my memory, forever now to hold
My late wife has told me;
It was so easy to fall in love with me?
My late love; I saw a glimpse,
And thought
She was a shiny thing!
My late love was shown my scars,
When suddenly
It was easy to leave.
My late love taught me;
Her desire was being left behind!
What if this amazement of my late love,
My wife,
That she wishes to still stay by my side?
I love her blissfully!
R.I.P. Shannon
Lost and alone she walks
Her thoughts emptied
From past love
Now walking without love
As her mind wanders
Her feet become withered
Walking down this empty road
Fears becoming reality
Nights alone and sleepless
Tragedy has struck her heart
Time no longer exists
Hours becoming days
Laughter are now tears
With a tear soaked pillow
Her soul has left her
Forever gone
Now walking down this
Lonely Road
My heart sank into my gut
Leaving an empty, sickening feeling
My body numb from touch
And eyes left tearless
This day was by far
And beyond any other day
The day I’d never forget
The day I forgot
What love felt like
I couldn’t remember what it felt like
To be touched
To be held
To have hope
Not for the life of me
Could I even reminisce
On past love
The day I’d never forget
The day I forgot
What love felt like
You threw my heart into the sea
Broke it apart into individual pieces
So slick so sharp it cut sea creatures
Like a grey shark trying to eat
The animals heal and thrive despite
And my glass heart is full of light
Despite the dark days and naked nights
It rides the waves colorful delight
Sea glass is my laugh upon the beach
Despite the past love denied me
I color the sand and shine like Star
Glowing in hand warming heart as art
You are, who you are,
and so am I.
Both of us, have done things,
we can, not deny.
Neither of us, can take back,
the actions, we've done.
Forgive are selves, we must,
if not, we will always run.
Of love, we are, deserving,
in ourselves, hard to see.
Yet despite our past, love comes,
for both you, and for me.
Therefore I am grateful,
for love, has lead me, to you.
I love thee, no matter what,
for my heart forever, be true.
Am I a better man today
Than yesterday? Who knows
Outwardly nobody can say
Inwardly there I was..
I was, this pretty much describes
Me in the present tense
I’m living in the past that dies
Within a plot I sense
It saves a better life for us
That’s where I belong
Isn't in something you may trust
Apart of life that's gone
Those days with darling love I keep
In files of memory
I never thought it goes that deep
Deeper than we can see.
Ghost
Living with ghost of yesterday's past
holding on won't bring them back,
moving on doesn't mean you forget,
but allows your broken heart to heal.
Keep the good memories, Let the bad
good go because there's someone out
there that needs what's lifted of you.
Pull yourself together, Dry your eyes,
let go of yesterday's past, love what's
in front of you before it's to late, and
become ghosts we wish could have back.
Castaway thought’s of lost love
Capture life of the living and find it
Memories are hidden but life is real
Taste not the biter and claim the sweet
Create new memories forgetting deceit
For life is just one moment in time
Never waste it on thinking of past love
The past is gone find a new road to walk down
Thought’s and memories are hidden in a coffin
Life is above where we begin our travels
Don’t waste your time over empty thinking

Beginning Again
David J Walker
I am the crumpled shirt
Ignored on the back floor
of your closet
I am the good idea
that became your
Lost cause
occasional thought then
Forgotten again and again
I am the misremembrance
Of a past love
with a silver locket
a place to keep my name
Lost in a forgotten jewel box
I am minding my manors and
Mending my fences
I am beginning to
Think about
Beginning again
W. Wondering why your here still here very near
O. Obviously knowing that you still very much care
N. Now is not forever so I'll hold you right here
D. Diamonds meant forever then we took a dare
E. Eternity is ever lasting and neither of us could be there
R. Ready to silence the never ending battle that we both now share
I. Interested in falling in love
N. Nestled in misery of our past love and holding it dear
G. Guessing at a game that the rules arn't all that clear
