Love

Empty, unfulfilled, selfish longings
live where love does not abide.
But where love is, there is peace,
and joy, and fulfillment deep inside.

Premium Member The Broken Dream

Breaks there a dream as sad as that of "might-have-beens"
That wakes the morning bright and beautiful
And spends the day in sleep that never ends

Unfullfilled

Youth,
Like cement before it dries,
Like a promise before it’s kept,
Like words spoken, 
—yet unfulfilled

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2013)

a soul that I be
a freedom for life
free by love for liberty
for living — Paris my reason
Paris my unfulfilled desire
Paris my prison

Steaming
In a simmering silence
Gently roiling
Over controlled heat
Bubbling
To the surface
A scent
Of satiation’s sadness

Unfulfilled Love

Day and night are lovers
Always after each other

Sun, Moon, Stars, Above
Witness to their lonely love

Earth, shelters both of them
And it goes on for ever.


Michael

Turning the Pages

time has come
to follow the way
life threw me

to settle down 
in the aftermath 
of fifty years passing

many goals, dreams
unfulfilled by hardships
a lowly soul, beneath them all
sad
