Epilogue of Love

Cupid's bow
once strong, seeing the many spoils of love
now rests broken and covered by dust

The arrows of emotion
once a crystaline red, now lie blackened
upon the ground

His Wings
Torn and tattered blowing in the wind
forming a heart with the last of their magic.

Tears fall
only to stain the cheeks of the bearer
washing away the hurt, cleansing the soul

Days Past

I sit looking at pictures
days long gone
times of innocence and joy
no troubles or worries
it was all about playing
things changed along the way
gotta grow up
bills to pay, work to be done
the luster of youth fades
to hardened look of time
skin wrinkles, muscles weaken
color diminishes to grey
life passes away
so simplistic it seems
If only it were.

Scream of Discontent

My soul screams
agitated, miserable
mine eyes itch
wanting to tear them out
body jumpy, twitching
discomfort, aching
emotions pulling
misdirected, unknown to me
mind and body
unbalanced, internal struggle
lost in the past
oblivious of present
uncertain of a future
to the point of asking why
just to find no answers

Untitled

What has happened to me
losing control, emotional wreak
clouded judgement, anger

sad realization of things past
a life changed, a life hurt
no redemption, no apologies

broken, beaten and defeated
try to find a smile
only to find a dead spot

black and endless
where to go from here
aimless, wandering, lost

try to dig out substance
only to reach into endless dark
finding only nothingness

Withered

Petals fall from a withering rose
akin to the unbidden tears of a child
silently screaming out
pain wrought from the unknown

misery alone inside
hurt by love
silently a petal falls
used, unwanted, never loved

a soul like the flower
shriveled and dying
another petal falls
wanting, wishing, for the eternal

within the shadow of the future
another petal falls
falling like a lonely tear
without a sound.

Untitled

Here or there
fame or ghost
choice of two
the question mark
to be happy
lose the mundane
write a new chapter
is it the time
exit the city
it has been a go
winds of change
comes this way
should i go
may i stay
i don't know
let the cards play
in this life
i run this show

Tempter

Come to me
feel my energy
anticipations
world blurs
spinning
lights flashing
excitement inspired
lust sought
passionate desires
floor pounding
pulse stopping
twisting and twirling
mess of bodies
smell and taste life
live tonight

Untitled

Suffer the hate
feel the anger
witness the rage
insecurities laid bare
yet you still care
how can this be?
visions of what was
clinging to lost hope
a waking nightmare
living horror
endless confusion
eternity in a tear

Nightmare Ending

Peering through the dark
scanning the emptiness
smoke filled air
fog rolling around ankles
seeking, nothing apparent
is it to be seen
desperately reaching for the tangible
which feeling
the emotional or touch
arms thrash catching only air
awake within a dream
visions of a sleepy world
dull hazy light
morning grows brighter

IF

You look good
meeting up randomly
that smile

Happiness within
emotional eyes
never changed

Memories of laughter
some of tears
one ache still

What if

I did kiss you that day
tried a little harder
showed you the truth

If it was to be, it would
I always loved you
never actually stopped

Love captured two hearts
witnessing the love you have
Brightens my dark

Not meant to be

I still think of you
in my dreams, in my thoughts
the picture of you

So far away yet here
within my mind
clutched in my heart

I hear your voice
feel your touch
taste your kiss

was it meant to be
I thought so
hope and desire

yet I have to let go
Someday, somewhere
Always with you in song

New Day

Bitter sorrow
tomorrow shall be brighter
the sun will kiss the morning sky
say goonight to the moon and stars
the clouds will stretch lazily across the sky
birds will sing, animals chatter
a new day, but a better day

Untitled

I never speak of love
shall i never find
looking in the wrong places
quit searching, nothing
makes no sense, makes no sense
life as a ghost
passing through time and space
a glimpse an nothing more
did you see, was it your mind
the tricks that play
my mind or yours
i shalt never know
i see you, but are you there
i feel real but do you
can you touch, feel the warmth
to kiss sweet and endless
where are you my one
the one to complete
Wilst not come to meet

Untitled

Feelings of hate
for unknown reasons
depression, lack of care
withdrawal from love
absence of remorse
uncaring but still feeling
this makes no sense
alone is what I want
just leave me be
but I can't have that
everywhere I try to go
people are there
annoyance, nuisance
sweet solitude
where have you gone
shall I ever find thee
for I wish your presence
evermore

Straight Jacket

Blissful hatred
anger beyond reach
vileness unrivaled

blackened soul
charred unrecognizable
disembodied emotion

bitterness with kindness
meaningless words
almost stoic

violent love
broken spirit
bloodied hands

vacant smile
staring to nothingness
deprived of normal thought

At a Loss for Passion

What is the difference
why can it not be
there is a connection

a fire raging
rapid hearts but from a word
enticing exuberant admiration

the touch has not felt
kiss not given
lack of affection

loss of words
unknown destination
drifting within possibility

want slowly begets need
regret breeds fear
love is love

Protection of a Shadow

Cover of shadows
silently I follow
watching over you

uncanny love
overcome by shyness
with no voice of my own

safety ensured
I can rest easy
as your protector

you see me daily
but never notice
for I stand beside you always

walking alone
within a cover of black
seeing you home safe

Stirring Emotion

Scared and nervous
the butterflies inside
happy but nervous all at once

Your Passion
the light in your eyes
this is how I feel

at a loss for words
only this a I can write
the way you make me feel

out of sight
your on my mind
looking at you, silence

how can I tell you
what you make me feel
shyness overrides

your smile
lights up my darkness
your eyes steal my heart

the touch of your skin
electricity in my veins
but my silence prevents

Unspoken Admiration

Feelings stir
begin anew
something thought lost

But as often as I see
I feel this every time I look in her blues
hear her voice

but I cannot find the words
why oh why
I wish I could just say

these feeling give me unrest
need for release
wanting and knowing

the passion I sense
hidden within
yearning for redemption

would a kiss
the slightest touch
could that be enough

awaken the spirit
join the worlds
become one and thy self
