Life without you

Life Without You

Life without you 
in cold desert sand,
I walk without shadow,
the sun too tired to care.

Alone in the place I used to know,
walls whisper your name in cracks and corners,
but you never answer.
Silence moved in where your voice used to be.

The rooms are getting smaller,
the windows won’t open,
time has folded in on itself 
only

              - Echo ~ the witness who talked too much - quote by poet

                            

Strait Talk

I talk to the trees
and they listen to me
I whisper sweet nothings
they renew the air I breathe

I talk to the trees
tho' they don't respond
beats speaking to myself
in the back of beyond

I talk to the trees
tho' they never reply
my words go unanswered
don't ask them why

I talk to the trees
tho' they have little to say
so the men

A Play Within A Play

It’s a play within a play
Where my role is improvised
With the extras of each day
Not intended to surprise 
There’s no cause to show concern
No opinions to express
What I know I’ll never learn
What you know, I’ll never guess
The main characters look worn
Their trivial speeches fail
I keep hearing the horn
Of unanswered questions sale
Flying slowly over trees
Notes repeat

Questions Left Unanswered

Why do you say you love me yet cling to your possessions?
If I had to leave today, what would be your confession?


Would it break your heart to lose me, to not see my face?
Or would you confront the truths in this empty space?

Are you hiding feelings, afraid to let them show?
Worried that if you reveal

Unanswered

Softly rain falls
As time rolls by
My calls not heard.

An Unanswered Letter

The letter that was never read
Though with it came an invitation
Any reply would have been momentous
Enough to move mountains
Instead there came no response
Those dice were thrown
Producing naught but snake eyes
From that minuscule moment
Mountains of memories folded
That was the final straw.

Unanswered questions

unanswered questions left my heart in fear, tears that shattered, left me torn apart.
a child lost and alone, longed for a place where roots could be sown. 

as years slipped past, the questions only lingered
the echoes of my past still haunt my mind, leaving me in doubt, and so unaligned

who am I without a place

The Unanswered Phone

You should have loved me
As much as I loved you.
You should have kissed me
The way that I kissed you.
You should have respected me
With the respect I have for you.
You should have been faithful to me
As I always was with you.
You should have talked to me
When I cried and begged you to.
You should have asked me

Prayers Unanswered

I prayed for you why quite a hopeless canto 
indeed the angels turned their backs sighing 
refrain from singing lovely hymns the cherubim 
clinging with desperation while the holy spirit
 
actually gloated above the bishops nest of pure
kindness I gathered my prayers for you would sink 
straight into unanswered levels of unconsciousness 
a sleep state

Unanswered Love

Unanswered Love, like whispers in the night,
Invisibly it lingers, hidden from sight.
Yearning hearts entwined, yet kept apart,
Silent cries, echoing in the heart.
Oh, sweet ache of unrequited art.

Unanswered

It hung in the air, the word;
the question finally asked.

Knew full well that you had heard,
your face impassively masked,
save for that slight hint of grin.

A stretch of silent years borne;
poor excuses wearing thin,
as are the promises sworn.

Thick silence pervades the room;
enveloped in cloy embrace
of stale scent, a strange perfume.

So, you stare, with frozen face.

Unanswered Question

Where did I come from?
Where have I been?
What have I become?
Did I lose, did I win?

I ask myself these questions.
But, no answers come to me.
I look in all directions,
but there is nothing to see.

Life can be a hard game to play,
with no guidelines or rules.
We have to search along the way,
to find just the right

Unanswered Questions

how she longs to escape
carefree pack a bag
leaving all behind

hop on a train and run 
straight into the arms
that hopefully long for her

as if she really dares
be transported by visions
of flambéed passion

not really knowing if
she too fills his daydreams
with lustful longings

does she haunt his nights
so he too fights desires that rattle
and deprive his sleep

does he

I look up to the night sky, so vast too big for a mere human
to comprehend.
Why should I be alone in this immensity?
No, there must be something more a ruler of this beauty
How else can I understand?   
Am I, a lone star fading into the universe of none existence?
people seek god, any
