Sleepless

A poet once sat up in bed for many a night
Broken of heart and unable to write.
Love is War but lost he had the fight
So a joyless existence was now his plight.

I Envy You

I watch your hand upon her hips
And as you place a smile on her lips
You kindly seal it with a kiss,
 Holding the girl I dearly miss.

You are fair of face and statuesque as art,
I am but meek of will and dark of heart.
You Forgive and Forget
I forget to forgive,
With eyes closed, her sins, I clearly relive.

As long as the stars are bright,
As long as the seas are blue.
As long as she loves you right,
I’ll Envy You…

Phoebe

I have seen Beauty personified when I look at you,
I attest that you are Grace embodied 
For none of the daughters of Eve floats across a room the way you do.
The twinkle in your eyes, the sparkle in your smile
Would be enough to light up a million and one dark skies.

Shall I compare the radiance of your aura
To that of the full moon, night sky's King?
Or to the refreshing appeal of your form
To a lily of the valley in the full bloom of late spring.

Your resplendence is to the point of transcendence,
And even more exquisite is the refinement you exhibit.
Your melodious voice is admired not only by man
But by the very winged Seraphs of Heaven.

I am only saddened that mere words could never fully encompass
What you mean to me
For if your elegance were time, you would span an eternity...

Sunset

The Good Lord Giveth,
And The Good Lord Taketh Away,
The sun is set on our times together and I hold no hope for a brighter day.

Everything seems to be of a darker pigment,
In fact a sadder hue,
For I used up all the stars in the night sky to wish for you— and me— and us— anew.

Blind

Let’s stare
unblinkingly at
startling visions of
beauty too grandiose
to comprehend.
Let’s look deep into
each other’s souls
and observe truths,
and not pretend.
Let’s turn our gazes
skyward, aspire to
be limitless,
unerr’d by the SUN.
Let’s envision what
was, what is, what
might be and what is
yet to become.

I once looked into
the bottom of your
heart, saw love, and
thought it a
beautiful place.
I observed it once
again and found only
the pitch darkness
of an abyss and the
unloving cold of
outer space.
‘Tis a horrible
thing when honest
eyes hear nothing
but lies.
How horrible is a
knowledge of seeing
when it benefits not
the eyes…

I look at you and
sometimes I see
love, sometimes I
see pieces,
sometimes I see
unforgiving cold
But worst of all,
sometimes I see
nothing at all and
am blind!

The Great Love

Do I love myself?
Is it true?
Then why stay despite the things you do...

I place my heart in way of harm
Unable to escape your charm,
Forever marching entwined, arm in arm.

Do I love Myself?
I think I do...
But not half as much as I love you.
