*In Progress*

I dream of my lover,
His lips I yearn;
My heart aches not,
It wildly burns...

His lover's tear-filled eyes,
Do seek his own;
Dark echoes fall silent,
They weep alone.

Tidal Wave

The tidal wave,
I saw it coming, stretched out my arms,
To shield you,
But I could not reach
You
Were beyond my fingertips.

Distress flares blazed,
My warnings, my pleadings,
To save you,
From the darkness that was coming,
It
Threatened all we had.

But the tidal wave neared
Closer
And closer.
I threw myself in front of you
In vain...
You are lost
And so am I
Drowning
Eternally.

Listen

Did you hear me come in?
I was ever so quiet, tip toes,
Held breath,
Slow movements, silent, towards the bed.

Did you feel it was hot?
I opened the window, a little,
Cool air rushed in,
Soothing, soft, free from stifling heat.

Did you wonder why I was late?
Tired and weary,
Longing for comforting arms,
The eyelids were heavy, I dropped
Into bed.

Did you sense something was wrong?
Echoes of springs repeatedly pressed,
As I turned to my right,
As I turned to my left,
The moon was being chased away by the sun.

Did you listen?
Or did you sleep, peacefully, blissfully,
Oblivious to me
And all my sounds,
As you always are;
I close my eyes
And I am silent.

Et La Nuit Est Belle

J' ecoute,
Vous parlez,
Et la nuit est belle.

Vous disez 'C'est comme la'
Je dis 'D'accord'
Nous parlons; la heure, je ne le regarde pas.

Je regarde a vous, mais vous n'etes pas ici,
Ma coeur comprends,
Votre yeux m'avez.

Mais je ne le dis pas,
Vous parlez,
J'ecoute,
C'est notre nuit,
Et la nuit est belle.

Ground To Sky

Ground covered in leaves,
my feet cooled by the breeze,
perching on the entry to cold patio doors,
open to the unkempt garden, farway shores
call me

Why him, not me, my mind struggles to go on,
emptiness reigns where once the sun shone,
left behind, I make no sense, the eyes are filling
but I have no right, and this could be killing
me

It is getting colder and darker but perching still, I remain,
rainclouds gather and unleash, ready to wash away the stain
that cowers below; let there be thunder and lightning,
let it rage and consume me, my eyes look to the frightening
sky.

Burn Me

Burn me
Let the flames devour me
This is not life
If your touch is not within me

Burn me
Tantalise, tease
Stroke, surround
Me, stoking the fire,
Till I burn

Burn me
I am cold to the touch
Melting into nothing
So careful
This may be more than something

Burn me
Feel the comfort of my arms
Reaching out to you
Pulling you close
Eyes closed, anticipating,
Your touch.

Burn me
Before I realise
This is fantasy
This is never to be,
Just a desire, a longing, a need,
Someone else's reality.

Burn me
Softly
Caressing
Holding
In your arms
Completely
I burn
Till morn.

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.
