Direction

I hope you smile, when you remember me. 
Once a fleeting while, a thought of what could be. 
I don’t mind the pain, a dulling sense of being. 
Omnipotence to gain, yet a constant thought of fleeing. 
Staring down the side, an end to the world. 
Animosity has died, leaving a story unfurled. 
Mass graves of meaning, an era destroyed unsurely. 
A solemn act of weaning, a malicious act purely. 
Mountains give way, oceans part in calamity. 
Though a faith cannot say, there’s the feeling of amity. 
An endless fire dies, left by the sick and twisted. 
A prediction of lies, herding the weak to the wicked. 
I remain once involved, longing for her last look. 
A naive puzzle solved, scribbled hastily in a dusty book. 
With nothing living behind,the sun shines tempestuously.
Longing to find, an angels breath held boundlessly.
Searching inward to reveal,I’m but just another lost soul.
Time moves forward forgetting to heal, a heart that is no longer whole. 
Hearing an existential voice, a shouting that echoes emptiness. 
A devastating choice, paving a way to cheerfulness. 
I hear an ungodly choir, singing only to me. 
A now extinct fire, laying at her effigy. 
The girl I remember, promised no one could hurt us. 
A subtle December, exposing a melting frozen truss. 
A harrowing escape, not deserving of trust. 
A grasp of the nape, turning all to dust.

Always My Love

A shadow covers her face, eyes tired with sorrow. 
Lost beyond space, longing for tomorrow. 
A broken heart, and a shattered mind. 
Where to start, what’s to find?
A promise of hope, rings echoing for ages. 
His yearning to elope, through tears he wages. 
Her fingers clasp his, and a desire remains. 
A plan as is, though it still pains. 
A beloved friend in need, a voice to be heard. 
A faith planted seed, holding to the word. 
An apologetic reply, he feels a need to die. 
He broke a promise, he broke a soul. 
With another kiss, he tries to remain whole. 
She is determined and true, a beauty I adore. 
As she says, “I love you”, he’s left wanting more. 
Memories of cheerfulness, and passions of youth. 
A future of fearfulness, searching for truth. 
He watches the night sky, hoping she is too. 
 A solemn goodbye, “For I’ve always loved you.” 
The future is a wonder, though they blissfully wait. 
Love strikes like thunder, a most welcomed fate. 
Stars dance and play, the world left in awe. 
As he looks to her and says, 
“I gcónaí, mo ghrá”

Despair

Have you ever met, the demons that walk among us?
Has your mind ever let, them tell you not to fuss?
If you show me, I will shine. 
A borrowed catastrophe, though you cannot have mine. 
Tonight I’m taken, trapped in endless whispers. 
As unholy waken, I’m left among the sleepers. 
I can feel you, dreaming of me tonight. 
A solemn ghost passes through, terrified of its own sight.
Nothing can stop them, beneath a broken dream. 
Unfaltered by any whim, will we be torn at the seams?
Tonight we were alone, one last time to dance. 
A missed longing shown, broken love that must enhance.
A storm brought together, dampening broken spirits. 
Forgotten in time forever, a haunting credence. 
What will we do, as tomorrow leaves behind yesterday?
Will I ever see you, though you’ve nothing to say?
I unfortunately saw, a sliver of corruption and hope. 
An untimely fall, a shattered remembrance to cope. 
Will the night come, will it bring another new home?
A wish to succumb, an ever filling tome. 
An emotionless guise, that brings death ever near. 
An enduring surprise, though the thought is clear. 
A burning passion, ignited to make it all worthwhile. 
Life left ashen, left with a poison taste of bile. 
A passing feeling, a gift of love and despair. 
Compromise left reeling, wondering if you still care.

An Embrace

An old poet yearned, for a freedom not earned. 
Watched as his world burned, as a beating heart churned. 
A hate raging, against his malicious captor. 
A war he’s raging, chapter by chapter. 
He’s screaming in agony, yet none can hear. 
A mind filled absently, year after year. 
A battle rages, yet it’s hidden with a smile. 
He’s filled countless pages, though he’s suffered for a while. 
A true heart shown, that finally set him free. 
A love that’s grown, how can this be?
A loving embrace, envelopes his soul. 
A touch like lace, completes him whole. 
A summers breeze, closes over a bitter chill. 
No silent pleas, with her strongest of will. 
Though time stops, for a short while. 
His heart drops, as he hears a voice so vile. 
A bitter sound, envelops his thought. 
A tourniquet wound, for the battle he fought. 
She’s leaving him, he feels empty again. 
He’s trying to swim, in a current of sin. 
He’s drowning alone, he’s accepting the fate. 
A failure was shown, only demons can sate. 
A hope is all he has, a hope is all he knows. 
Nothing as good as, a kiss during his final throes. 
“Come back to me”, he pleads with a sorrow so true. 
“Come back and you’ll see, I will not fail you.”
Though she’s already left, now his mind broken and bent. 
The price was heft, and out of his life his true love went.

A Letter For You

Dearest love, 
I hope this letter finds you in a well form. 
You are constantly what I dream of,
Your flawless image loving and warm. 
It’s been too long since I’ve seen your face,
Since I’ve held your hand and kissed your dimpled cheeks.
I’m no longer comfortable in this place,
These last calamitous weeks. 
I’ve not heard your laughter or voice,
I’ve not held you or rubbed your back. 
But essentially it’s your choice,
And I understand the necessities I lack. 
I long for the times of happiness and joy,
Missing you every second of every day. 
Joking and teasing oh so coy,
Enjoying each other in every which way. 
I miss hearing you talk about anything at all,
I sit longingly and alone waiting for a call. 
But the time slows down and begins to erase. 
How long until you forget my face?
I’m left with memories and endless pictures. 
How long until I can see you and kiss you like times long ago?
A plan of hope and healing ensures,
What we both crave to know. 
How long will you wait for me and linger?
How long until I wait to put the ring on your finger?
We’ve battled the hardest part,
A long distance between us meant nothing before. 
A forever longing heart,
Stifled out because I cannot have more. 
When does the healing start,
How long until I’m done with this war. 
But my love, I do digress,
I just miss you so much. 
I’m making the progress,
The yearning of your touch. 
I’ll await your reply and hope it is well. 
With a heavy sigh, I can never tell. 
So I sign this letter with hugs and kisses,
Hoping for success and fulfilling wishes. 
Xoxo, forever yours my love. 
I look forward to the future, my sparkling dove.

The Horizon

Feel the summer wind,
Rolling through the sky. 
I’m missing a friend, 
who’s said goodbye. 
Though the storm is ending, 
remnants remain. 
Wounds that need tending, 
for a mind still pains. 
The cartoons play behind, 
background noise for a night. 
If I could I’d rewind, 
and never let passion leave sight. 
Turning backwards, 
searching through time. 
A forewarned hazard, 
halting the climb. 
Memories come calling, 
I’m thinking of you. 
I feel like I’m falling, 
could we make it through?
Lost and alone, 
I’m prepared to find the way. 
A light has shown, 
haunting thoughts left at bay. 
The journey has paused, 
but I hope it’s not the end. 
Look at the sadness I’ve caused, 
I’m so sorry my friend. 
A time spent to wizen, 
a feeling of behove. 
One day upon the horizon, 
I hope we’ll fall again in love.

As Poets Wept

A bitter cold bites amongst the sky. 
A loveless void, emptying a heart so true. 
A patience begins to wilt and die. 
A stark black fills what once was blue. 
I’d like to know everything,
I’d like to know the truth. 
Why don’t the wilds sing,
Spilling secrets of our youth?
In this time of dying,
You’ve been given a letter. 
What’s to stop me crying,
Of a world that was once better?
Mistakes so costly were made. 
A lovers yearn went unpaid. 
Cold winter nights,
Turn to colder summer dreams. 
Battling off these frights,
I’m lost in endless screams. 
A satisfaction not rightly kept,
Amongst the hearts of all who lost. 
Pages stained as poets wept,
Withering from the cost. 
So long my beloved friend, 
I wish to see you well. 
Is this the truthful end,
Trapped in my eternal hell?

Weathered Trees

Today I took a walk in memories. 
I’ve visited landmarks of significance. 
We’ve conquered the troubled seas,
We’ve diminished the difference. 
The trees are weathered but strong. 
The water still gently swaying. 
I’ve not been here in so long,
But you’re still here, so I’m staying. 
Could you see me through ages past,
Could you see me amongst the wonder?
Do you want this memory to last,
Because right now we’re still asunder. 
The time moved quickly passed,
A laughing replaced by thunder. 
As you walk away, I can’t help to say,
“I miss everything about you, my treasure.”
Could you hold the tears at bay,
As I fight away the displeasure. 
The bridge where I kissed you, 
seemed smaller as I sat alone. 
A twist of what felt so true,
Shadows of the forest have grown.

I Sat There

I sat there for hours,
Watching the traffic go by. 
I sat there for what seemed like days. 
Thoughts racing about a goodbye. 
A mental illness causing sorrow,
A mentality causing nothing but pain. 
I was ready to forgo tomorrow,
As the dark clouds brought upon rain. 
Pictures flooded my considerations,
Of smiling faces turned to anguish. 
Sadness increasing in moderations,
Changing hope into a deaths wish. 
I sat there for hours, 
Watching the traffic go by. 
Dealing with my tampered mind. 
I know I promised not to say goodbye. 
I didn’t mean to make you cry. 
After the hours had gone and went,
I resigned to my room, my emotions spent. 
The phone was off and left alone. 
I couldn’t leave and travel the unknown. 
I sat there for hours,
And could only think of you. 
I could only pray for the future. 
I couldn’t reverse time,
I couldn’t succeed in prayer. 
I couldn’t remind myself of a reason. 
But I couldn’t leave them. 
I couldn’t leave you. 
I sat there for hours, not able to move. 
I just....sat there.

The Ending

You’ve asked me before, 
was this goodbye?
Honestly I didn’t know how to respond, 
so I told you no. 
But I’m waiting to die,
I’m ready for the greatest mystery. 

I don’t want this anymore,
I constantly ask myself “why?”.
At one point in time we had a bond,
But Now that it’s gone, I’m ready to go. 
I cannot cry,
I’m looking forward only for me. 

I’ve fought this war,
I’ve heard my thoughts lie. 
I feel as if I’ve been conned,
But that’s all I really know. 
With a heavy sigh,
I’m willing to end a misery. 

I feel so sore,
Like I’ve been dropped from on high. 
A sorrowful existence on dawn,
I’ve hit my all time low. 
I’m over feeling shy, 
I’m over all the anxiety. 

Please, I just want to leave. 
Please, I don’t know what to believe. 
Please, all the tales we could weave. 
Please, that’s the ending of Steve.
