Her heart aches
With the pain of a
faded love
Teardrops stain her
cheeks
But cannot salve her
sorrow
While his heart is
elsewhere
Hers dies in her
breast

BLEEDING HEART
AFFAIR OF THE HEART
Her heart once full of love
Now harbours only
sorrow
The love once ablaze
Is just a guttering
candle
Her heart was won
With a poets words
And flowers of romance
Fragrant and sweet
scented
The words are but
hollow echoes
And the vibrant
flowers
Are withered and
odourless
Now as the tears come
Her only memories are
Of false promises
And deceitful words

MY HISTORY IS ONE OF SADNESS
My history is one of sadness
Lonely
and loveless
No
memories of joy to comfort
Only
the emptiness
Of
a life spent alone
Like
Robinson Crusoe
On
his desert island
I
sit surround by the ocean
Inhospitable
and deep
In
my life the ocean is the world
The
blue water
Its
inhabitants
Washing
up to my shore
But
always washing away again
Tantalising
and teasing
But
I cannot embrace the waves
I
must remain alone
On
my desert island
Looking
out to sea
ABOVE A MOONLIT MEADOW
Above a moonlit meadow
The
stars begin to shine
As
I plight my troth in earnest
And
hope to make you mine

I BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
I believe in love at first sight
That precious moment
When two people meet
their match
Like a key and a lock
Coming together in synchronicity
And the abiding love
Both deep and
passionate
That can be unlocked
A PERFECT DAY
A perfect day
Spent with you
The two of us
That’s my view
No one else
Just us two
A perfect day
Spent with you
RHYTHMIC LIFE
I have a life with rhythm
And clarity of purpose
That defines me
perfectly
And that clear rhymic
life
Is your great gift to
me
A gift given before
God
When we joined in matrimony
The depth of our union
And the depth of our
love
Will not easily be
bested
EXTRAORDINARY GIRL
For a young girl,
Well compared to me,
You have done
something
Extraordinary to me
You have warmed my
cold heart
You have cleansed my
unclean soul
You have instilled
purpose
Where there was none
Out of despair I now
have hope
You have laid the
ghosts of my past
So I now have a future
LOVE CONQUERS ALL?
Who ever said
“Love conquers all”
Obviously hadnt met
you
Normal rules seem not
to apply
I surrendered my heart
I bared my soul
All to no avail
You just used me
Then cast me aside
So I am once again
alone
APPLE OF MY EYE
You are the apple of my eye
Sitting seductively silent
I seem to feel lust and love
Almost in equal
measure
Your mere existence
Has brightened my being
And stirred my soul
And awakened feelings
Long buried
But after the lust
evaporates
The love will remain
A more tangible
emotion
So let us make memories
That we can treasure
ELAINE
I remember the first time
That I saw Elaine
Just one look
And I was smitten
But I couldn’t speak
to her
I just watched
And admired
She caught me looking
Once or twice
And she smiled
Her smile was nice
But I looked away
embarrassed
The last time she
suddenly got up
And to my utter dismay
She was coming my way
I though she would
have a go
About me staring
But no she said
“hello”
And told me her name
Then for the longest
time
She just looked at me
As I stuttered and
stammered
Then she kissed me
GRACE
When I saw her
I fell in love with
Grace
Though her reputation
Was as a straight lace
But I didn’t see that
At all in her face
I went and asked
“Would
You dance with me
Grace”
She said she would
“But nothing fast
paced”
So I placed my hand
On the curve of her
waist
And pulled her towards me
And though she was
chaste
She didn’t pull away
Or repell my haste
So I danced the next
dance
With the beautiful
Grace
And the one after that
With a smile on my
face
We left the dance
floor
With fingers
interlaced
On the day I placed my
hand
On the curve of her
waist
Was the day I fell in love
And my life was Graced
DECENT PROPOSAL
The traditional way
Is now rather passé
And may have had its
day
But I will ask thee
While on bended knee
If thou wilt marry me
BECAUSE MY LOVE FOR YOU IS TRUE
Because my love for you is true
There is nothing I
won’t do for you
Except for this one
small thing
Which is that I won’t
do nothing
I SHOULD HAVE TRIED MUCH HARDER
I should have tried much harder
Looking back upon that
day
I should have fought
for you
I should have tried
every way
You were the very best of me
Around you my heart lightend
In your presence I
walked on air
Around you my spirits
brightened
I lost myself in my
own conceit
I was consumed by self
obsession
I stopped seeing you
as precious
And treated you like
my possession
I should have tried
much harder
On that day so very
long ago
I should have fought
for you
Instead I ran away and
let you go
I WALK ON EGGS
I walk on eggs
To protect the fragile
peace
I try to be invisible
As I dread your
displeasure so
But even in the midst
Of such an uneasy
peace
I fear your rejection
For being invisible is
still better
Than not being there
at all
A BOOK ON THE SHELF
A book on the shelf
Passed by, passed over
Rejected by browsers
Ignored by casual
trade
Over looked by readers
of discernment
Often handled but
never understood
A book on the shelf
Unwanted and
unappreciated
Unloved and forlorn
waits patiently
For that one special
wordsmith
Who will see the small
tome
Among the vast bibliotheca
And admire the cover,
The quality of the
fabric
Its exquisite binding
He will handle the
book
Feel its weight and
worth in one carress
And will appreciate
its quality.
When he turns the
pages
He will engage with
the contents
Understanding its language
Each perfect word on
each pristine page
This will be a story
of such worth
When the wordsmith
finds
This book on the shelf
UNITY
Being together
Without words,
Thoughts trancend
The empty silence
To find balance
In perfect union,
A comfortable congress
