WHERE AND WHEN AND HOW

 

Where did it go?
That sense of one
The feeling of togetherness
Of mutuality, symbiosis
Thinking each other’s thoughts
A consciousness shared
Breathing in unison
A single beating heart
Speaking in a single voice

 

When did it happen?
At what point?
Did we separate?
When were we torn asunder
Split like an atom
Dissected like conjoined twins
To breath alone
To stop sharing one heart
And speak for ourselves

 

How could it be?
When I looked at her with love
A stranger looked back
Independent and solo
Individual and free
Thinking on a different plain
Breathing different air
Heart pulsing with a different beat
Speaking a foreign tongue

MY PETTY JEALOUSY

 

 

Sibilant whisperings
Greeted me
For it was I
Who stole their glee

The gathering
Looked upon me
As the architect
Of their misery

They could barely
Keep their hate inside
At this wedding
Without a bride

It was all my doing
With my petty jealousy
And with it in me
I had made her flee

YOU HAD ME LOVING YOU

 

You had me loving you from day one

I had you loving me when it begun

But somewhere along the way

Your cheating heart decided to stray

You had me loving you totally

And I thought I had you loving me

But now your heart resides elsewhere

And you have left me in utter despair

You are still the one that I adore

But you don’t love me anymore

You still have me loving you totally

But I no longer have you loving me

ALL THOSE YESTERDAY’S AGO

 

You slipped through my fingers

All those yesterday’s ago,

And how the regret still lingers

For the way I let you go

HEARTS SONG AND MELODY

 

You were my one and only

My hearts song and melody

Now music has been banished

And I suffer alone and silently

YOUR TOUCH

 

Your tender touch

Meant so very much

And I miss that touch

A touch too much

Your tender touch

Meant so very much

And I miss that touch

That was nonesuch

LOVE REMEMBERED

 

I remember falling in love

And there was beauty in the world

Because my love was returned

By you in equal measure

And it was shared by you and I

A love we thought would last

As long as the world kept turning

But we were seriously in error

Because the love has gone

And in our once love filled hearts

There is now an empty hollow

As they pine for what is lost

While in the cool shadows

Our discarded dreams Lay

Abandoned in the gloom

Where the rays of sun light

Cannot penetrate the darkness

As our love lies bleeding

And can never be revived
