What she said

To tell what her eyes said.
But, to tell, what she said-
Oh, such a lie!

Only you and I ever knew

This reverence that I have felt for you
From a decade ago
This love that remains untouched
Unfinished
This language of the souls
Only you and I ever knew.

One by one

When the leaves would dry and fall.
When the sun would set.
The flowers would bloom.
One by one.

Too much poetry

Is that why you would leave me,
My darling-
Because I had too much poetry in me
For you.

Old Memories

New intentions for old memories
Memories that don't cease to grip -
The heart and soul
And, mind..
Memories that are unforgiving.
Memories that seep into every part of your being.

Lofty Dreams, and you.

Eyes laden with lofty dreams
Sleep that eludes
Peace that teases
Love that makes promises
To break them
Over and over gain
Dreams that are laden
With dreams themselves
These eyes that have never seen you
Forever now.
