Heartbreak / Unrequited Love
A Bout of Melancholy
There is a vague timeline
In this earthly transition
looking at the ticking clock
counting the seconds
Am I that afraid of the darkness
Of an unknown beyond
Well, nothing promised nothing gained
I look into the mirror
Where beauty once resided
A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
they say but no, not this decline
forever is just a word
Nobody have returned and told
where forever resides
So do I wait for death
Or expect the unexpected
Things happen for a reason
So they say…
but not aging pain and demise
or is it?
I refuse to seep in melancholy
So let me think positively
A good beginning
makes a good ending
may not apply to me
the beginning was terrible
the same ending…
o help me Lord!
Better to have loved and lost,
than never to have loved at all
that’s positive
lost my love to lost love
His not mine
She returned…..
Positive indeed.
I give up
Tick Tock
I’m counting
Definitely not sheep.

Drunkyn Growyn Upz&Dongz
So we drowned ourselves
Induced copulationz
Grown drunkyn highness
Kumming to our senses
At klimaxed peakz
Trying to figure out what the foch We been doing all this time
You don't even like my body
I don't even love your mind.
Awakening epiphanies
Saved lifetimez
Repeating lust'$
Hate cycles of unrelated
Uncontrollable unrequited luvz.

Unrequited Dream
we roam the abyss
hand in hand
blood drained hearts
connected by a notion
the mindless brains
couldn't understand
while our faceless heads
trying to express emotions
walking corpses
how the world sees us
shooting sardonic smiles
straight through us
but I'm,
blind to those cynical smiles
and deaf to those scathing words
I immunise myself, and I feel
numb towards the fucking world
except you...
our hands
sewed together
with the
darkness
our feelings
connected
but we are
heartless
our lives
are bound
together by
a sadness
our stories
will tell
the twisted
madness
as I shut the world
around me and walk
into this novelty
because,
you are the escape
from my miserable
reality

fire temples
A writ of right of flight our trip sky flare
By candlelight our bird of night into air,
---
The rock relief long etched a prophecy
As the symbol into a gateway odyssey,
---
With a flaming torch to crowning light
This mirror became our spiritual sight,
---
Then two into one perpetually lit flame
Thousands of years in one time frame,
---
Crossing our space joined heart insight
We spun a void ancient souls entwined,
Her star to mine...

Let Go of Unrequited Love
It is like you are watching from the passenger side
And side mirror as your life is just passing you by.
It is like watching and seeing your heart as it spills
Blood all over the street, but people walk or ride
By like it means absolutely nothing. The one guy
You say I love you to, but it is like running up hills
Only to be disappointed by the view and when he
Does not love you back the same way. It is like you
Think the whole world stops, but you have to keep
Breathing through the hurt and pain. You finally see
Through the fog and maybe you will realize very few
People will treat you like dirt under their feet. Weep
And cry all you want, but he is not worth it. That
Love is something you hold onto until someone can
Love you back. They will love you a million times as
Much as you do. They will take every strike and at-bat
For you. The guy you were pining over was never man
Enough to give you that love back. You are still a topaz.

A Lasting Mist of Candles Snuffed (with UbiquitousVoid)
Here, our noctambulant kingdom
Wherein disdain girds our lament
As morrow was the first descent
I’d sleep until the dream was dead
The rogue from our deluge of rain
Continued to walk dark the night
And would each time deny the day
Out of reach from admiration
An ire could not mask what had bled
Nascent into lust-borne prison
The days that festered in her head
As hours passed, onset of pain
Which gave no voice to give me sight
A reason why, a chance to pray
I saw you there by aperture
A listless gaze toward opal stir
To thus avail this portrait blur
Still winsome as you ever were
Without the sun of how it was
I lost the hands of time within
As time grew short, dissonant knell
Our solitude had struck a bell
The constant damp and dark to feign
My lord who first had offered love
A brilliant light, a symphony
And like plucked rose soon atrophied
Bereft of what had nurtured it
Devoured by the void e'er dim
Poetic-twisted ligatures
The ties that bound us in our need
Of boney fingers' strangled creed
Where did all of my powers rush?
For I was youth in its full flush
With skin of white like Dresden rim
'Twas such that captivated him
Upon the canvas wretched ghost
Like mirrors the eyes of failing health
Her chiseled crevice marked the host
Catharsis through an emptied self
The days were stretched as was my flesh
O'er features sinking into depths
That plumbed the very death of me
A drowning will, an ecstasy
Perverse the thrill, malignancy
That clutched the dying heart in me
And like tsunami's deepest surge
It dragged me under from its scourge
While sirens sang a mournful dirge
And venom ushered forth from you
In sanguine love, I lavished you
With vivid funerary hue
This art that has become of you
I woke into a deeper sleep
To witness from my crypt a keep
The evil, clearer still, that bloomed
While echoed chanting filled the room
Embraced by him as cultish priest
In preparation of a feast
To sanctify his temple beast
And quantify the list of crime
My lord had justified from time
Inscribed on pages of a tome
While bending low his shaven dome
The deed is done, no turning back
Disrupted shadows fade to black
As one-by-one the candles hiss
In darkness that I never missed
A climax for an epilogue
For it has been so very long
I’d seek a pattern for the grave
A rose to meet ivy ingrained
Will e'er the night burn fast away
The gloom that still denies the day?
Beneath the earth I will run deep
I’d pray for Hell, my soul to keep

He Clung To the Echo...
He clung
to the echo of her last word
and waited for her return
Confident at the start
anxious somewhat later
Desperate - yet, still hoping -
long after time stood still for him
Too hard for his feeble mind
to process the countless posibilities
of a whispered "later"...

A Grinning Carcass
I am like a grinning carcass—
an agonizing sight for cars that
howl down some brutal highway:
aboveground,
homeless, and without a grave.
I am ancestor to some,
contaminant to others,
in this, the fallout of some estranged harmony—
divorce.

Rings Of Love
Crazy, a seduction held tight
as love drips into a barren heart
molten rings amid stolen nights
forever, how you do fool
a regal regret
two lovers beget
feelings used as a tool
Infatuation, cocksure,
inviting and ego inflating
replacing damnation
life was given a voice
foiled in choice
or failure by chance
bottles blurring romance
wild rides chasing the stars
waking up bloddied and barred
no looking up
tops spinning down
the cycle kept going round
forgiveness found in foreign lips
comforting words, tied up and tongued
a late night tryst where love just insists
on not letting go
as tonights and tomorrows are one
•but you let go•
and now crazy,
what's next to show
as love drips into a barren heart
molten rings amid stolen nights
forever, how you do fool
a regal regret
two lovers beget
feelings used as a tool
Infatuation, cocksure,
inviting and ego inflating
replacing damnation
life was given a voice
foiled in choice
or failure by chance
bottles blurring romance
wild rides chasing the stars
waking up bloddied and barred
no looking up
tops spinning down
the cycle kept going round
forgiveness found in foreign lips
comforting words, tied up and tongued
a late night tryst where love just insists
on not letting go
as tonights and tomorrows are one
•but you let go•
and now crazy,
what's next to show
