The Silence

She looked at him

and wondered

what it was

she was supposed to feel

Contempt?

Sorrow perhaps?

But she only felt

the numbness

inside of her

He stopped talking

Perhaps waiting 

for a response

She looked at him 

and wondered

what it was

she was supposed to say

He spoke louder

Perhaps to invoke a response

Perhaps to force her to listen

Perhaps to fill the silence

But she only heard 

the silence

Only felt the numbness

 Coiling tightly

inside her 

Holding her,

Binding her,

to the silence

between his words

where she felt safe

Take my Heart

take my beating heart

i don't need it anymore

if we should ever part

i'll have nothing to live for

i could die with you

even die for you

but one thing is true

i cannot live without you



♡♡

 

so take them all,

my foolish pleas, my words 

 that fall

like crumbs at your feet,

and throw them to the birds

that flock in the street

their wings will whisper

the sweetest love song

from a girl to her lover

after love has long gone

Words

Words flow

from your lips -

love coloured

tasty morsels -

seductive

little kisses

ripe and luscious

those

tempting words

that float

and stray

and linger

a while

to glisten

in your

ice wreathed

eyes

A Love Unloved

you are

the page unturned

the fire unburned

the letter unsent

the tears unspent

you are

the song unsung

the violin unstrung

the poem unwritten

the words unspoken

you are

the seed unsown

you are

 love... unknown

Well Fair Summer farewell

Quote by John Keats:- "i almost wish we were butterflies and lived but three summer days - three such days with you i could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain" 

one word is a seed

from which many

could grow

thoughts spring

like weeds

from which i

could sow

wild rambling prose

or poems with

rhyme

but summer like

the rose

fades with time

 Rose

Words

strumming your guitar
your words bring tears to my eyes
plucking at my dreams
