Sometimes

Sometimes I forget I'm alone
With your voice still echoing in my ear
I forget sometimes I'm alone
While listening on the phone
While wiping rain that looks like tears
I tell myself they are not fears
I try to forget how sometimes I'm so alone

Sometimes

Sometimes I forget I'm alone
Is your voice still in my ear?
Sometimes I forget I'm alone
Will I listen for my phone?
Wiping off rain that like tears
I tell myself I'm not afraid
Sometimes I try to forget how much I'm alone

Luminescence

Deny me not your tender embrace
It brightens the darkest of nights
Warm me with the light of your face
That shine that makes everything right
Your gentle touch brings me to tears
Knowing it will soon be missed
I wish you could allay my fears
Gone with only one kiss

Untitled 1111

I wish the world were just us two
Huddled together in our own atmosphere
I wish the world were just us two
No place to go and nothing to do
But wishing doesn't bring you here
Neither does an ocean of tears
I wish the world was just us two

Pause

In the shallow light of day
When twilight meets the gloam
When darkened shadows come to play
Making sinking spirits roam

Let's raise a cup of unshed tears
To those we used to call friend
To broken dreams and unspoken fears
To bridges that will never mend

Allow our minds to silent grow
Let burdens be at peace
The world can have it's troubled woes
Or let all thoughts quiesce

As the sun sinks into the land
With heartbeats sounding bold
Together we pause glass in hand
And watch the future unfold

Alone

Waiting between pains
Waiting between breaths
Wishing I was between your arms instead
The heat and cold alternate in waves
Tears fill my eyes
Sweat glistens on my brow
Tied in knots
Tongue-tied
So many ways to be tied
Trying to distract myself
Watching the horizon
If the sun comes
Then I have survived
One more night
One more day
Alone

AU

I wish you were always by my side
There would be nothing left to hide
In your arms, I'd be content
With no more sins to repent

The view is grand from here
No longer blocked by tears
Picturesque and heaven sent
With no more sins to repent

I fold into your arms
Knowing I'm safe from harm
Is this what the Poets meant?
With no more sins to repent

I wish you were here by my side
With no more sins to repent

Imagination

You are in my head,
But you are not real
Watching everything I do,
What I think and touch and feel

Curling up next to me
A ghostly figure in the night
Arms wrapped around me
Holding me tight

Phantom hands holding fast
My head bowed low
Tears flowing freely
Knowing what I know

You share in my pain
Helping me to heal
But you are only in my head
I wish that you were real

No More Tears

The clouds have filled the darkening sky
And all the world seems black
When your love has said goodbye
Even nature feels your lack

Raindrops hide the tears so well
And wind obscures its marks
Walk inside your own sweet hell
Watch as lightning sparks

Moving into safer spaces
Feeling loneliness grow
Longing for a familiar places
Knowing pain now shows

If only you were here
There would be no more tears

Worthless

I'm not sure when I realised
It's always the little things
Shared point of view
What would it be like
To be part of the crowd?
That's not an option
I've stayed in my space
Unsure of how the tide goes
But knowing where it's headed
We should be matched
But our lines don't intercept
Changing the path
Could bring tears
Saving my heart
Is it worthy, worthless?

Love is...

Love is a hand
Held fast in your own.
Love is a kiss
The sweetest you've known
Love is a hug
The first gentle embrace
Love is passion
Shared by a fireplace
Love is the wind
Whispering in my ear
Love is shared
Throughout pain and tears
Love is present
Haunting and true
Love is the beauty
I see in you

The Light

Does that mean if I call your name,
You'll be there at the ready?
I confess it somehow frightens me
To think of you so steady
From mirth to tears and back again
All life's simple joys
Are brighter love because of you
You quiet maddening noise
When at first you came to me
I found myself quite lost
The magnitude of loving you
What would be the final cost?
But now I crave your company
Your touch in darkened night
I confess my early sins for now,
I've come to see the light

C=T+t(The Allen Equation)

Lay your burdens down beside me

They’re too much for one to bear

We could sustain the weight of the world

If only you would share

The rain keeps falling sideways

Music all sounds flat

You’ve kept patient under pressure

No one finds fault with that

But the time has come for reckoning

To wash the sin away

One day you’ll look back fondly

Laughing the tears away

Decisions

Decisions

A fleeting ball of gossamer

Floats precariously on the wind

My soul’s sanity is dependant

On sticking a needle in

I’m no tower of strength

Built so tall and compelling

I’m not a font of love

There is no joy over welling

The line will end with me

Not drift infinite into space

It will never be the right time

The right person or the right place

Hopes are dashed here daily

Don’t come here to have your tears quenched

Truth cleans brighter then cleanser

Lesser emotions must be benched

So gird your loins and enter

Don’t be surprised when I say

I will not lose my center

There, at least, you have no say.

Questions

Questions

If I forgot your name…

       Would  the wind whisper it back to me?

       Would the stars light it in the skies?

       Would the seas spill your secrets?

If my heart forgot to beat…

       Would you breathe my breath for me?

       Would you cradle me in your arms?

       Would you share your life in my veins?

If the world were to end tomorrow…

       Would air still move through the land?

       Would fire still burn?

       Would our tears quench the parched earth?

Replete

Replete

My pillow lies empty

It bears the impression

I catch a scent

Of your dulcet fragrance

And it moves me to tears

The absence of you

Crushes me

My dust settles here

As a tribute to your memory

Born on the wind

It will seek you out

Settle in your deepest recesses

Become part of you

As we will join

Once More

No longer divided

But

Grey Skies

Grey Skies

The dark clouds are heavy in the sky

They brim with the tears of heaven

It falls with desperate longing

I look out my window

The drops fall faster

A heavy heart

When it stops

Skies clear

Calm

I’d forgotten about these weird little forms of poems.  This is a Nonet.  It starts with nine syllable then each line has a decrease if one syllable until the last line which has one.  Interesting.  But I needed a form tonight. Lacking inspiration.

No Words

Someday never comes

Tomorrow waits for none

If you can hear me, answer

Cause my darkness screams in the night

My throat is raw, I’ve screamed so much

My tears burn fire down my cheeks

This is the hardest thing I’ve ever ended

My terror frightens me

I have no words

Anguish is a lesson in patience

Sorrow is a tale written in woe

There is no longer a hiding place

Time is all that’s left

Rain Will Fall Again

Soon tomorrow’s coming

Can today last forever?

I know that the sun must rise

How many times must I?

I’ve fallen so many times

Many times I’ve been pushed

They rejoice in seeing

My face in the mud

I won’t let them see the tears

Mixed with the dirt

If you cry in the rain

It hides the tears well

I’ve stopped walking in the sun

When the sun rises

You will be gone

I will go back to hiding my face

Then the rain will fall again

A Bargain Struck *(An adventure in Sonnets)

From whence doth come thy golden orbs

Which heaven hath no equal parts?

Some piece Diana did absorb

To sway thy stalwart warrior’s heart

Come Solider take this maiden’s hand

A voyage must be undertaken

For thee the Angel’s tears do turn to sand

All others must be forsaken

But what of carnal pleasures biding?

Tomorrow’s troubles sorrow and lament

The housewife screams and bellows chiding

He begs forgiveness, his heart full rent

A bargain struck, A contract made

A willing partner, An even trade
