When Death Comes Unexpectedly
You had two months to live No one told you, no one warned you No one knew I can’t look you in the eyes I tried, a thousand times But what once felt safe seemed savage What once was certain proved damaged The wreckage was drastic Do I blame myself? Or do I blame you? You had two days to live No one told you, no...

Unexpectedly
Unexpectedly I grew old. Yesterday I was seventeen With all my hopes and silly dreams. I was often told, Do not grow old, Old age is for the very brave. But I didn’t listen, hadn’t a care, Chose to ignore the odd grey hair, Chose not to believe what harsh sunlight revealed, Preferring candlelight and what it concealed. Found ways to excuse the much slower...

Whatever arises Appears as What is happening.. Unexpectedly A thought arises That I see with Unmistakable Separation and edges.. Unexpectedly A thought connecting Several other thoughts Arises as a story.. Unexpectedly New thoughts of Edgelessness and Emptiness arise As a paradox and are Met with unease Or resonance and A feeling of Freedom......

A Son Unexpectedly Passes
A SON UNEXPECTEDLY PASSES an intention not explained, of an action designed to focus on a plight; but never articulated why. and as the bell tower clangours, and olde bones neath shallow graves, groan under weight of another who comes before their time, and many cried ‘Oh Why!’ an intention not explained, of a son unexpectedly passes before his moment and in his prime, and a family...

She Stopped By Unexpectedly
I just saw you. The other day. You were so nice. You looked so great. Such emotion when we two meet! You are so tough. You are so sweet. For a moment I saw you melt When I hugged you and love we felt. How do I tell These things inside? How to confess These things...

Premium Member Night Fell On Me Unexpectedly
Night fell on me unexpectedly Like overwhelmed by lust lover Hiding in shadows of my dreams In faint moonlight emerging From the top of eucalyptus trees Like a gigantic night bird Grabbing my hair and pulling me Towards his body and landing On my lips with his airy wings Enveloping me and devouring With fiery consuming passion That I drowned in I did not...

Pain Unexpectedly
If those who are so mean to me Were to pass unexpectedly Would happiness come to me? Would the pain and humiliation go away? Would love and gentleness find its way, To fill my soul to remove the grey? Or would hurt and anger keeps it place Inside my heart and on my face Keeping me from love's kind embrace Pain comes unexpectedly Overwhelming...

I sat and watched quietly the shuffle of her feet, the forceful lean upon the walker and I wondered – how did it come to this? Just yesterday she knew my name, last week she appeared to be herself and spoke clearly plans for the holidays and I...

Love Is a Dream That Comes Unexpectedly
Love comes in wild nights- In wildest night of my dreams When two hearts become one And all my sorrows are finally gone. Love comes like shooting stars. One can wish upon his fate To ask someone for a date Awaiting her best responses. Loves comes unexpectedly. And yes! No one knows whether it's good or evil. Sometimes love is honest, generous, peaceful, Selfish, hate, painful,...

Unexpectedly
Unexpectedly- and much too quick- I found myself wrapped in your arms. I should have known that I’d fall far too fast for your charms. You were too good to be true, this I knew. This I knew Because it was in my mind that I created you- A man with a gaze that could pierce through your heart And...
