bird, good morning, loneliness, longing, missing you, nature
The sweet breeze through the window
asks nothing as unseen birds call.
It asks nothing of the sun
as it sweeps across yards,
yet it whispers to waking dreams.
My dreams ask,
Did I love too much?
behind my mind’s eye,
visions
and what do they mean
when we give of ourselves
so fully we are spent.
Now I’m alone.
Canadian geese gather
crowding a path along the river
as the day passes,
so consumed with each other
they ignore the mothers
and children who pass.
A ski jet slaps waves,
and the river breathes.
The gaggle whispers among itself,
and nature speaks a language of her own.

loneliness, lost love, missing you,
For where is the love that I seek,
My soul searches deeper still…
Hearts hibernating in mystique,
I surrender to its wavering will…
Looking up to sapphire skies,
May it rain pearls of passion…
Tears that fall from elusive eyes,
Are saved as reminiscent ration…
May I find your love in galaxies gold,
Your sculptural smile behind the veil…
Marooned to your mesmerizing mold
Lost at sea to your sequestered sail…
Can lonesome love eternally exist,
Where kept kisses are forever missed.

absence, change, love hurts, missing you, relationship,
Autumn's desires
Your amber-umber eyes, penetrate me
as saffron sun sets on faces, ashen
Your suspicious mind raves with jealousy
as pumpkin winds chill our summers passion
your love transitions to winter's fashion.
Fire and ice keep flowing through your bold veins
Wild imaginations portend cold rains.
I dream of your ruby-red crimson lips
my mind won't rest until you have returned
the touches from your ginger fingertips
we can rebuild the bridges that have burned,
then, we will laugh at all the lessons learned
I think of your flowing cinnamon hair
mem'ries of our home, and you being there.

lost love, missing you, sad love,
Behold, a crack in the sky...
Its a star ! And then it multiplies...
A thousand million
silver twinkling confetti...
Galactical milk in celestial ballet
Your white bedazzle takes the breath away
Soapsudded moon and underwater candellabra
In an ocean of quiet delivery
Oozes a rhapsody, nay a symphony!
Gliding on golden orbital slide
A bridal comet gown on fluted notes
MAGNIFICAT! MAGNIFICAT! MAGNIFICAT!

funny, loss
She was wonderful and powerful
My object of desire
Her smooth clean face so beautiful
The apple of my eye
My love she had an accident
She fell from up on high
I found her broken body there
'Twas lying on the ground
Now all I have's her memory
The songs we used to share
Oh how I miss that ipod
My heart it megahertz

Romanticism descends an unbridled staircase
bittersweet; stripped bare and unleashed
passion in supple nudity
sashays down my spine
a ginned up shimmy and sway yearn
tingling every naked nerve with a sudden surge
of electric longing and unmasked pulses of pang and pleasure

break up, cry, feelings, i miss you, missing you, sad love
(To give then take)
I shut my eyes for a few seconds today
Missing you, I wished you were here
Then suddenly the walls became dim
My heart murmurs your name
I swallow the tears behind my eyes
Claiming back the wish
Why would I ever let myself fall in love again?

You shine your light in darkest night
Your beacon burning there so clear
If I had wings then I’d take flight
You shine your light in darkest night
I feel your warmth holding me tight
As in your arms you draw me near
You shine your light in darkest night
Your beacon burning there so clear

missing you,
Behind the black olives redianted*
the moon this night
is handing over a bloomed sign.
Why are you going to bed alone
in colorful bed sheets?
Hear! In Syracusae troubadours are singing
in one love,
about that while you burn into,
you burn endlessly.
But you are falling asleep.
A domestic bird, hidden
behind curtains of brocade
and pressed her lips on a golden spider.
A homeless night in the black olives
and a sound of our Beyond.

best friend, loss, love, missing you,
Play for me, Long May You Run,
to shed a tear and reminisce
of open roads when life begun,
to think of those now gone and missed.
Play for me a tender song
to share with some good friends like you.
Let's laugh and cry and sing along.
I know you feel the way I do.
Faced with the choice of moving on
or falling in the past's abyss,
I'd rather meet each day's new dawn
with those dear souls I love and miss.
Long may they run, sun-kissed somehow,
though I have changed so much since then.
I wonder if they'd know me now
and warm me with their love again.

absence, deep, depression, feelings, first love,
A Rose for my sadness
Is all I ask
Seal it with your kiss
And your magical spark.
A Rose for my sadness
Is all I need
With a glimpse of your smile
And sound of your heartbeat.
A Rose for my sadness
Is all you can give
To aglow the flame
And rekindle the love I keep
A Rose for my sadness
Will surely make me glad
It will erase all the longings
And ease the blunt pain.
A Rose for my sadness
Will bring your touch
Shower me with warmth
Missing you that much.

desire, feelings, giving, i miss you, love hurts, missing you
I will send my Love thru timeless space
No other emotion shall take its place
And as it lands on the many moons
You will see explosions of their crusted dunes
I shall send it to the vivacious Venus
As she prays nothing comes between us
But some will fall on the warring Mars
As he erupts with rage and leaves love scars
And if it should fall on the planet Jupiter
All will be absorbed by its custodian Lucifer
There are many sides from this heavenly view
Hopefully my Love will make its way to you
Two sides to Love two sides to live
One will receive and the other shall give.

change, courage, lost love, missing you,
If my memory serves me well
you were once a friend of mine
need I remind you, pray do tell
a friend who overstepped the line
friend became lover became husband so fine
I'm longing now to feel your arms
Sailing amid memories divine
Right when I thought, I was over your charms
behind my eyes, beneath my skin, you twine
Like an almost forgotten memory
a song, your words combine
bridge across time, consoling me
over and over, our dreams align
troubled tho our paths maybe
water flows through sands of time, for me
I feel your love
Will you always feel mine?
ease the parting, herein-above
your gift, our love, define
mind and soul are thine.

Passionate nostalgia of our last embrace,
the way we fervently shaped to each other -
is as bittersweet
as the wildflower pressed between a love story’s pages.

Your smile
Your hug
Your kiss
Your caress
Your tenderness
Holding you in the night
Perfume scented tranquility
Bringing me humility
Your breath upon my chest
Is my life, till the day I rest
In my grave
Missing you

farewell, love, missing you,
Sad
Goodbyes
Makes me cry
Without you here
I miss you so much
An empty house of stone
A lonely bed of silence
My life will never be the same
Only memories of you remain
Blessed be the day we are in Heaven

heartbroken, leaving, longing, love, missing you,
This thought of you, is deep within.
Reminiscing, time and time, again.
I live my life, and wonder why,
why you left, and wave bye, bye.
Inside of me, you were the one.
The thought of you just lingers
So many things, I didn't say,
as you hugged me, and walked away.
You took with you my heart and soul,
This love I had you'll never know.
Special flowers and sweet perfume,
are memories that fill, this room.
They say time heals, I'll wait and see,
to convince, this heart inside me.
This thought of you is felt within.
My heart cries out, time and again.

love, memory, missing you,
There are frequent thoughts of a special place,
and you are there with me,
and we drink coffee and believe in each other.
Time and time again, I've said it before-
no matter how cold the weather gets...
~your memory will always keep me warm~

dream, feelings,
I often have the same dream
Of castles in the air
With a knight in shining armour
To give me love and tender care
He’d help me fight my battles
To ease my troubled life
We’d live in perfect harmony
Maybe I’d become his wife
I wonder do our dreams come true
Where are you my love... I’m so missing you

best friend, love, missing you,
That look in your loving eye got me every time
How you would wait so patiently
and love me unconditionally
Those daily walks in the park
enjoying everything nature had to offer
The way you would always be at my side
protecting me, mi amor
my eyes well up at just the thought
the thought of losing you
the one constant in my life
My heart weeps for you
Come home my best friend

for her, love,
One last kiss of your ruby lips
one more touch of your loving hand
my eyes they are red and misty
and my heart begins to cry
I know it's not for forever
but it still hurts to say goodbye
You'll be living deep inside of me
in every breath that I will take
I'll hold you nightly in my dreams
and think of you when I wake
I'll count the hours til I see you
when you're finally by my side
I'll never let you leave me
when you become my blushing bride

death, introspection, missing you,
Death lingers
Not in an essence, or scent-
No spectral aura conjured by tears or laughter,
But through wishes left too late and unspoken
Guesses made in blue ink, seal stamped, and filed.
Your legacy pillaged and raped by suited men
'til it's extorted to to pennies.
Your smile and voice are buried in the stacks.
Documents, bills, and letters to be written
Fill the memory baring your name;
Your scent and laughter long gone.
Given choice, I would pick the lowest memory
Over the reality of perpetual argument and stress.
Perhaps it's better to have left only love.

break up, loneliness, lost love, missing you, sorry,
Looking through my tainted window of gloom
grey skies, rain falling, feeling sorrow
impatiently wanting life to resume,
will things change, get better tomorrow,
sure that grass was greener the other side,
not walking a mile in your well trod shoes
now ashamed looking for somewhere to hide
didn't realise how easily I would bruise,
underestimate this feeling of loss
an unidentifiable man anymore
floundering like a wounded albatross,
indecent intentions, now I deplore
apologises are unheard, your not here
didn't know how so much I loved you dear.

cancer, grief, loss, miss you, missing you, mom
Without you, the days are so long
& sometimes it's hard to just carry on.
You gave life & love to all things
The joy of giving was what you would bring.
I see your smile inside my head,
It just isn't fair that you have to be dead.
I know you suffered though all the while
You held your head high & even would smile.
As I watched you go through it, I always had hope,
Even when we came to the end of the rope.
Everything that we went through
Helped make us closer & more loving too.
Through ups & downs you always were strong
Even when you knew you didn't have long.
Life can be kind & cruel in the same,
But you will live on forever because of loves eternal flame.

dark, loss, lost love, love, missing you,
Vainly I stand before you
Waiting for an utterance
Any word of understanding
But these are days of famine
The honeysuckle flow of verse,
And kindness has abandoned
No words can repair this ruin
Too late, too late, to wait
My memory of you will fade
Yours of me will never be
And thus is another chapter
Of broken dreams and lost love
