Lover, dreaming endlessly,
Of someone brusque who nurtures;
Someone that loves carelessly,
Through the past and all futures.
Your eyes deepest evergreen,
Your hair a long rich raven,
A soul pure and crystalline,
Your heart a home and haven.
A flutter, small explosion,
Someone who’s beauty inspires,
Who’s kindness heeds devotion,
Gives me reason to respire.
To be one and everything,
My heart my wife and mother,
Souls forever tethering,
Not just another lover.
Maybe just an afterthought,
Coyly testing the waters,
No rhyme to get overwrought,
Just my heart alone sought-yours.
On its face was robbery,
How then was this debt incurred?
This disdain and mockery,
That left me thusly injured.
Ever be there recompense?
When will that fateful day-be?
One day it might make-some-sense,
Til then it’s just a maybe.
Unread my heart unknowing
Left only with pure longing,
The pain inside outgrowing,
And watered every morning.
Did it all mean anything?
Some secret vital lesson,
Trying but I never-win,
To make this pain a blessing.
Thought about you everyday,
Today and on my deathbed,
All those words we’ll never-say
My poems too go unread.
Faintly, your form perseveres,
A slight echo still persists,
Your shadow cast dissappears,
But a piece of you resists.
Still I go on pretending,
That one day you will return,
What we had was unending,
And not yours alone to-spurn.
Lies I cling to desperately,
And even more so lately,
Pleas to God for clemency,
Fall on deaf ears so faintly.
Stranger, why so hard-hearted?
Not even a trite friendship,
Remained when you departed,
It all just seems so senseless.
You couldn’t see what-I-saw,
Something once in a lifetime,
To be ours now nevermore,
To fade, bitter sweet, sublime.
One day you may realise,
You missed out something major,
You’ll sit and you’ll agonise;
Why you’re still just a stranger.
Renewed hallowed afterlife,
Laid bare on a stone altar,
Our love in life sacrificed,
Mortal souls make us falter.
We know not our destiny,
Our paths still remain hidden,
Likely timeless mystery,
Just lifes eternal riddle.
Perhaps we’ll yet reunite,
Only myself I delude,
God alone could make-this-right,
See this hallowed flame renewed.
Let your honey harden me,
Oh, beautiful poison tree,
Your flower grows in me.
Let your sorrows grow,
Take away my blood and home,
Deep inside of me.
Tiny poison tree,
Eyes beautiful like my dreams,
Turn me into a…
Why, why can’t I sleep?
Why, why won’t you let me be?
When you’re next to me?
Why, why can’t I speak?
Lies when you’re talking to me,
When you’re in my dreams?
Please, please let me be,
Why, why won’t you let me be?
Wont you let me be.
I would say sorry,
Thought that it would change your mind,
I have said too much.
Cover it all up,
I try to laugh about it,
Hide tears in my eyes.
Misjudged your limits,
Thought that you needed me more,
Just keep on laughing.
