All the pointless fights,
That should never have started at all.
All the sleepless nights,
Accompanied by nothing more than my thoughts.

The same thoughts that destroy my mind,
The same thoughts that keep me sane,
The very same thoughts that make me love her.

But can love pull us through this?
I know for sure I love her.
But if she cannot begin to see,
That she is pushing me away,
She is going to lose me.

Emotional Poetry

Feeling from the inside

Energy speaks volumes

Healing thoughts sent

To you gladly given

My calling of problem solving

Helping in understanding

Taking your hand and guiding

Envisioning traumatic dreaming

Below suface despair

Heart wrenching in story

Freeing from mourning

Relieving haunting pasts

Sending away grieving

From caged hearts

Following the vibrating

Sending in positive thinking

Meditating your mind in peace

Is my gift to you

Another Love Lost

No Comments

Emotional Poetry, Love Poetry

Fighting, screaming
My life consists of this
Leaving, crying
Will I ever find bliss?

All I’ve wanted
Is to be loved by another
To have someone to turn to
To have someone to cuddle

Is there truly a man
Possessing all the qualities I need?
Or am I living my life
Trapped in a childhood fantasy?

Am i really as needy
As they always say
Am I too emotional
To keep a man for tomorrow, today?

I think I’ve found him
But am I deceiving myself?
I feel the fall beginning
Am I setting the scene for another love lost?

When Harry Met Sally

No Comments

Emotional Poetry, Love Poetry

Harry’s mind wandered
As he wend his way
Through crowded streets
He would see her that night
Anna, his new love
He could smell her hair
Feel the softness of her skin
He could even taste her
He longed for her
As he remembered
Her smile, her kiss
Her writhing body
Then Harry stepped off the curb
Oblivious
And was struck
By a car unseen
Tossing him like a rag doll
Depositing him unceremoniously
Between car and gutter
As his body lay broken
And bleeding
Where it came to rest
On the unforgiving street
The last image in his mind
Was not the killer car
But his Anna, His new love
As his life ebbed away
His heart beat its last
The paramedic’s best efforts
Were to no avail
A moment’s carelessness
Had cost a young life
His heart beat no more
In his broken body
Only to beat once more
And reanimate
In another’s chest
To bring new hope
To rekindle another’s existence
Bringing a new beginning for Sally
Which like a phoenix
Rose from the ashes
Of another families grief

Burning Out, Fading Away…

3 Comments

Emotional Poetry

I am a gamma ray
a wild burning star
crisp like a starched cuff
creaking like a sea chest
i am a machine
out of order
lit up from inside
with an electrical fire
and there’s only doom
in fire bird form
blazing blazing
like comets in my head
death to responsibility
and to the
breaking of bread
anger is salvation
and love
a back alley
cut throat

Emotional Poetry

The empty ache of loneliness
A hollow emptiness
A desperate want
For their caress
To fill the void
Left by invisibility
Butterflies flutter
When you meet their gaze
Knees weaken, just for a second
As they brush past
Then light-headedness
When you smell their scent
Then later
In the quiet of the night
The empty void of want
Loins aching for them
Then hollow emptiness
The constant companion
The loneliness
Of unrequited love
