A straight division
Once we had hugs and kisses
Now pillows divide
When did we put up the fence?
Lamenting what we once had
Tag: love
Jar of our Love
the jar of our love
when we met, the lid was sealed
then wheezing began
one day the lid blew skyward
you looked pale; I looked startled
My Love
For I found you in the forest,
you with your ancient arms and legs.
When I found you, there was silence,
for we did not need to speak.
For I found an ancient tree,
and
you taught me so much about love.
A Saltwater Love
All or nothing was the lesson;
a love rush blinded my equilibrium
You said to wait a while for love.
So many tides move, and the sea
whispers of the past and the future.
I learnt my lesson with your love.
Yet, the never ending wonder,
will you return to me?
Standing on the sand alone,
the sea whispers new words today.
A kiss on the cheek,
you’re lucky I’m so old;
becoming saltwater with you.
A Pack of Two
Forest deep
darkness setting in
tree whispers
A pack of wolves
moving towards the moon
full moon howling
You and I
becoming the story
in the forest
All the light
that you bring to my life
this meaningless life
With you, life is a journey
this pack of two
a kiss for my wolf princess
Another Party
another afternoon party
the eternal romantic
lost in the champagne bubbles
conversation with the usual crowd
a scent lingers as you feel the sun
a door unlocked in your heart
the knowledge of a destiny
Coral cheeks give you away
the ground falls from under your feet
lost in the eyes of your best friend’s cat
Our Love
to wrap me up in your barbed wire arms
blood runs down
my body from the places you pierced
letting go of all
that we shared and loved
I can no longer
hear what it is you once had to say
feelings and the love we once had is
in the dried blood on my skin and my clothes
Without a Sound
you lost your lover
a silence hangs in the air
a tear rolling down
you grieve true sorrow alone
tears falling without a sound
The Cherry Blossoms
And if this is my last Spring,
I will share my Spring with you.
We may talk about the old and the new;
silences will not be unknown to us.
And if the cherry blossoms bloom,
we may watch the way they move.
We may lose ourselves to our love,
thinking back to when we were young.
And if we forget that we are older,
I will dance with you upon the petals.
Metaphysical Thoughts
Do I belong here?
Tugging at the society I live in,
the construct I built for myself
What will I become?
A box of dust to be slowly
forgotten
as the world keeps turning
Why would I?
Day to day, we see it
all so clearly, yet
humans find a way
to hurt each other
Yes, there is light in the
dark places, yet the
darkness creeps closer
Why go on?
The sound of music tells
me to keep listening,
The desire to treat life
as a gift pushes me forward,
and your love for me
Your love is sunflowers
and
fresh Turkish Delight
