POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poetry about lost love, heartbreak and relationship problems
The dream is over
The years and the moments are all that remain
Thought it hurts there wont be more, I shouldn't complain
Pieces and fragments are still better than losing it all
Watching the cracks in my world as it all starts to fall
Should have and could haves abound and taunt me
And now the thoughts of what never could be
How clear its become only way too late
You told me how you felt and I refused to relate
Now its my turn to know how you felt for so long
And to see how ignoring it feels so wrong
Cant make ammends cuz we're past that point
And the...

Focus
regaining focus my mind settles
this was a difficult test to go through
I've come to realize I am loved unconditionally
our relationship difficult at times took a tale spin
realizing I too get distracted by the world
it is the laws of attraction
confessing to him I'd been spending emotional time with another
uttering he showed true interest in me and I liked it
with the knowledge I have loved my husband but haven't always liked him
dreaming of different shores where everything is perfect
is an illusion that has...

beyond the reef
she told him they were floundering
two shrimp without a fondue
spiny sea urchin emotions
in a brackish tidal pool
never succeeding in true north
destined to swim up stream
salmon with recurring nightmares
in the Fall of their spring
drunken confession - love at sea
release found in the abyss
her uncharted waters only
where the cruise ships flushed their piss
wished for her - reincarnation
a gull on tropical shores
stealing tourists hotdog wieners
crapping on their perfect s’mores

An elderly mother in 90s wants to live with her daughter in 60s
Thinking like this
Saying like this
Acting like this
Dear daughter,
Will Dorothy like it?
More than I like
Dear daughter,
What Dorothy likes
Let's do it first
And just
Let's accept it
Do not ask for it.

Good-night
Sleep well tonight, my Love
Remember how often I’m thinking of
Your life, your heart, your amazing soul
I dream of knowing e’er more the whole
Of who you are, where & why
Freely sharing each low & each high
Showing & feeling our shared desire
My Love, tonight, dream of my fire
Burning, e’er burning for more of you
So good-night, sleep well this whole night through

Mmm… Inch Closer With Your Handsome Self
Eclipsing the feeling of a pulsating heart is a beautifully lassoed
Heart in midnight oasis bathes in its dew to fortified is consoled
The tender recipient of earth’s clandestine rule
Worn sentiments on the sleeve
The mind gently speaks when infinity seeps
Lust, desires, rapture merging under my sweeten honeyed grace
Whispered undulations of love to my ear from his handsome face
My love reaches across the vast of the sea

Afternoon Pastoral
(I was reading over my previous journal entry, and I thought maybe I could attempt to fuse some of its lines into a poem. I elaborated a little, and I thought I would post the result to share how my mind tends to work... And I included a photo I took. Thanks.)
AFTERNOON PASTORAL
Dry leaves rustle,
crumble
as the day grows older.
I am alone;
my thoughts
travel to dark places.
I am 50 and female,
an open wound.
So much passion,
so much tenderness
threatening to brim and spill blackly ...

Again
The sadness rushes over me like being caught in the undertow
As I look in the eyes of someone i barely know
My best friend, my partner, my other half, my soul is gone
I am stuck in a chamber of torture as I watch her move on
I scream internally as my heart dies a slow death
Unwilling to accept that our love has taken its last breath
All the moments I should have cherished play out in my mind
As she turns her back and leaves me behind
This coldness I feel from her is impossible to comprehend
I tore down my walls for a...

Peanut butter and spermicidal jelly sandwich
She makes me feel impotent
Whenever I'm around her I feel like I don't exist
She makes me mad
I try & find the words but I can't
I want to lash out but I can't move
She makes me feel like I'm made out of wood
She turns my brain into wax
She pushes me around
I don't know how to say no
Every moment I spend with her, I lose a part of myself
I want to get out, but I can't see my life without her
I think I know what needs to be done...

Its Only Words
its only words
say it and let it out
it wont carve into stones
lamentations of love unrequited
don't speak out your thoughts
don't bother to say sorry
your vows had been snapped
cut by both of you
your new love
the one that sprang
from old wishing well
in your almost dry feelings
to you she is a fresh bloom
sprouting from the soil
of your turbulent emotion
deep down in your soul
hold on to love
embrace it close
its your lifeline
just remember Words
spoken,...

Once We Were
Occasional tears
never do dry
because it mattered
the reason I cry
A bit of me broken
yet living on
despite the pain
from a time now gone
Memories recalled
reminded of your scent
fond recollection
moments we spent
Once lovers, now friends
both of us changed
the future we had
has been rearranged
From love that was
I shall not hide
for you always
a place aside
never do dry
because it mattered
the reason I cry
A bit of me broken
yet living on
despite the pain
from a time now gone
Memories recalled
reminded of your scent
fond recollection
moments we spent
Once lovers, now friends
both of us changed
the future we had
has been rearranged
From love that was
I shall not hide
for you always
