I Move On

Don't,
you look and want,
what you cannot have,
and cruel lips
tremble
for more.

No,
I don't answer to you
those prying desperate questions,
not for me,
find
someone else.

Yes,
I knew there had been others,
I knew nothing, everything and more;
in your eyes,
seeing
hidden lies.

Never
did I fall deeper,
did I soar higher above clouds:
the feelings destroyed,
piece,
by, piece.

Tried
so hard to gather the pieces,
but it cannot be a whole on my own;
no more tears...
I
move on.

Always
I will remember you,
my past, not present, not future;
once so beautiful,
now,
coldly bottled.

Forever
the pain will evaporate,
letting seeds of happiness grow;
you're not a
part
of it.

Tomorrow,
my sun will shine on my flowers,
my raindrops will glisten on their petals;
let yourself feel,
and,
let, go.

Don't
look back as you stumble away,
for you will never see my steady gaze;
it is looking,
the
opposite way.

Like Nothing Else Matters

his eyes
look into the distance,
running, steady,
running, focused,
thinking,
like nothing else matters...

...his forehead, wrinkled with thought,
cool... warm... hot;
a bead of sweat escapes, rushes down,
coming to a sudden stop:
on the tip of his eyelash,
balanced, precarious...

...he breathes in the cool, crisp air,
thirsty lungs soak it with pleasure,
his bloody heart grabs greedily,
its lion's share...

...the steep, unforgiving slope beckons,
calling his name,
daring him, taunting him,
demanding 'what matters?'
the march of the feet is his answer,
like nothing else matters...

...gentle thuds turn hard and fast,
adrenaline dances wildly,
consuming his thighs, tantalising his limbs;
the sun's rays stroke hard his stubbled face,
hard glare into defensive glasses;
perspiring, throbbing,
his body lets out a cry, a stifled moan...

...the end is in sight,
the weary body relieved, reassured,
softly whispers to aching legs 'hush';
something is rising, deep inside,
his song, melismatic,
he smiles, knowingly:
euphoria...

...
his eyes
they are looking into the distance,
running, steady,
running, focused,
thinking,
like nothing else matters...

Like You Wouldn't Believe...

you
I love you
I do
I love you, like you wouldn't believe...

I love you,
like it hurts, like it soothes,
like it soars, like it falls,
like it holds, like it drops, like... never ending...
an unrequited love,
a love that expects nothing in return,
that desires... yearns... so much,
but quiet... utters for nothing,

except...

to see you happy, and smiling,
in the arms of your true love.
You will find my love unexpected, uninvited, I know...
it overwhelms even me, sincerely, ardently so...

And please,
don't mistake my love for what it is not,
you are loved, more than you know,
more than you can comprehend.
Let it be that you know you are loved so,
let that knowledge comfort you, envelop you in warmth,
a blanket woven with my devotion,
for,
if knowing that lights up eyes,
eyes weary, but flickering brightly,
my declaration is worthy
and my love is pure.

It is a love out of place in time and circumstance,
and perhaps,
in the right time and circumstance,
maybe you would have felt the same,
maybe it would have been a shared love,
nurtured together,
grown together,
glowing brightly...
And yet, it cannot be,
and accepting that is accepted,
though my feelings remain, lingering, burning within...

But there is nothing for you to fear,
oh no, my darling, nothing at all,
for you are loved, deeply loved,
and may that love bring forth good fortune,
bring you your heart's desire,
whoever it may be,
for it is your happiness that is key,
the key to how it should be...

remember...

I love you
I do
I love you, like you wouldn't believe,
and I hope you believe
me
