A Love Poem
Can I
look into
your eyes,
till they twinkle
at the sight
of me?
Can I
embrace you,
till your worries
disappear?
Can I
kiss your lips,
till they forget
the taste
of everything else?
Can I
caress you,
till your body
yearns only
for my touch?
Can I
pleasure your body,
till it knows
no better feeling?
Can I
haunt your dreams,
till your reality
thirsts
for my presence?
Can I
wake up
next to you
every
single morning;
till your pets,
and clocks
bark in envy?
Can I
lift your
every load,
till your soul
knows no burden?
Can I
love you
the way
I know;
or
does love mean
something else
in your
own reality?

A Poem TW: Death
Sadness,
gloom and sorrow
Tales
of the future,
Tales
of the ‘morrow.
It could be
any day now,
the doctor says
The illness,
has reached
its final stage
There is
nothing more
we can do
than to make
the patient comfortable
The day
is come
A loved one
is lost
Death
has made its call.
Cancer,
takes another one.
A loss
expected,
A doom foretold
Still,
why does it
hurt so?
Just because
there’s a reason,
doesn’t make it sting
any less
Just because
you know
it’s coming
doesn’t make the pain
any different
Pain is pain.
Don’t slice it
another way.
Help a friend.
Help a loved one,
today
Give them comfort;
Give them solace.

A Love Poem
We thought
we had time
to enjoy
this love
We thought
we had
forever
to be
together
We thought
we had
eternity
to live out
our happiness
We thought
we had
a lifetime
to find
heaven
on earth
But,
death;
is no respecter
of wishes
Nor
does it beckon
to only those
who are ready.

A poem
The water
chilled her
to her bones
shivering
the very pillars
of her soul
The water
filled her
to her limits
replacing
every inch
of air
The water
buried her
to its depths
sinking
every single
atom
The water
deposited her
at its shores
washing away
any sign
of life.
A Love Poem
This love
is painful;
only,
on this side
Playing
with my heart,
A thing,
for your delight.
This story
is sad
An endless
pitiful cycle
I keep trying
to get over you,
but your love
has inflicted
some mortal wounds
I tell myself
you’ll be
the one to lose
but
in my heart,
I know
I’ll never see
another you.

In the
dark corners
of my soul
you will find
the trail
of sadness
you left
behind
In the
forgotten chapters
of my memories
you will find
the darkness
that is waiting
to drown out
the light.

A Love Poem
I will not
bend
to your sweet words
I will not
fall
for your evil whispers
Repeating
promises of old
Chanting,
songs of yesterday.
For,
my heart
shall not waver
and my spirit
will not crumble
in the face
of this
vile temptation.

A Love Poem
I don’t
want to worry
where my happiness
will come from.
Waking up
every morning
wondering
where your heart lies
every single day.
I don’t want
wasted memories
and empty promises
For
this loneliness
is sweeter
than your love
will ever be.
