Unrequited Love Without Reciprocation

Torment at its finest, found me here tonight.
My love for her has blossomed, yet hers has found no light.
So many stars I have wished upon, less drops of water in the sea.
Tonight it looks like rain, so again a storm will awaken me.
I have studied all her subtleties, and how she looks my way. 
I wish to know not her true feelings, for all I will find is pain.

Unrequited Love Without Reciprocation

Torment at its finest, found me here tonight.
My love for her has blossomed, yet hers has found no light.
So many stars I have wished upon, less drops of water in the sea.
Tonight it looks like rain, so again a storm will awaken me.
I have studied all her subtleties, and how she looks my way. 
I wish to know not her true feelings, for all I will find is pain.

Croix De Guerre

Hard as granite and cold as 
stone, loves so far been barred. 
Her loveliness came in spring 
time and a rose became my 
heart. 
Swept across the ocean came, 
sickness atop the tide. 
A plague that anguish falls 
beneath, and causing rage to 
die. 
I so young did fall for, a 
promised spring for ever more. 
Alias the rose that was my 
heart, died in winters war. 
It wilted in the snow and cold, 
and time it could not bare.
It's bravery and in the face of 
disdain, could win the croix de 
guerre.

I Miss My Youth

Festivals stirring me along, wild nights in youth spent. 
Never a wish for none greater, but a few more moments lent. 

Twirling amongst the crowds of night, they only fear the day.
Bright eyed Gibson girls, ignore what others say. 

Stouts and porters make a good night, a one to last me ages.   
My hand that tried to hold on to them, have long since turned the pages. 

I pray those nights could find me here, so far away from youth. 
They would not know me if they saw, now I am so long in tooth.

Ice Blue Eyes

What I loved in my youth, has 
been soured by time.
I looked back when I was fare, 
and my honey was a dime. 
Ice blue eyes cut me deep, and 
bled my anger dry. 
Twisted knots left behind were 
golden locks did die. 
Never a dull word, nor 
moments unaccounted. 
And all the precious memories 
are hard to be recounted  
However now I ask in prayer a 
way to bring her near. 
From the depth of hell that 
seemed, to burn my darling 
dear.

Our Grassy Lot

Our grassy lot above the sea,
Were sadness seldom found. 
melodies and ocean songs, 
twirled us round and round.

Never a reprieve from our 
laughter, nor a dull day befell.
A relationship so mighty, 
unafraid of the largest swell. 

The wind shifts, and clouds roll 
in as the night comes nye. 
It promises to be a passing 
storm but how the weather lies. 

The salty air has spelled the 
end, as the paint chips away.
Misery breaks apart the boards 
and the grass is turning gray. 

Rabbit watches now turtle 
clocks, time now bitter still.
Rid me of my timely matters, I 
pray that be gods will. 

Her body broke against the 
rocks, as did my mind that day.
Good night my dearest friend in 
love, I will never get to say. 

Master mariners and sailors 
broken by the tide. 
Reach to her for life and love, 
as I did in summer time.

Shadows

Darkness blankets this room, 
silence shadows me. 
Wretched thought breeds evil, 
as 
I was bred to be.

Totality of circumstance, could 
not fathom I. 
If only eternity could allow, 
immortal thoughts to die.

Sun Shine Seldom Knew

Amongst the mist were trees 
rot, a lovely flower grew. 
Dark skies found its moss, 
were sun shine seldom knew. 
Beauty waded through the bog 
and found a wretched creature 
there. 
A cursed tormented soul , her 
sight could hardly bare 

Nothing more than April rain 
washed a way the mud.
I realized then what I 
concealed, was covered in her 
blood. 
A diamond in the rough I knew 
could drain a rose porcelain 
white. 
On this day I pray at noon, that 
her flower find some light.

Moon Over Ypres

Luna comes to paint a portrait, 
each stroke fails to capture me. 
I pray this moon not find its 
muse in the reluctance of my 
memory. 

Tonight the stars above Ypres 
dance, to the rocket solar flairs.
The moon tonight so strong in 
indeed, for tonight my heart it 
bares.

I Caught Her Glances

I caught her glances reflecting 
off my pain.
A ghost of the one divine, are 
all that is left were her beauties 
lain. 

Yet I have seen her but once, 
and in every dream by night.
If it is true that love is blind, I 
have lost my sight. 

I have seen the clock hands 
every angle, time has yet to 
fade.
The out line in my mind were 
her beauty laid.
