I wanted to see you today
But you were busy
I wanted to speak to you
But you could not hear
I wanted to hear your voice
But in saying nothing
You said goodbye
Tag loss
Longing
I remember the days
We spent together
I remember that moment
We first met
I will always feel
The longing in my heart
To be close to you
Fall’s Cold Bite
Fall is in the air
The cold is biting my skin
The day is dark
Sun’s bright light is dimmed
And I know it is just around the corner
When I will be taken back
Back to that time of my life
To that knock on the door
Telling me
Oh, telling me
So cruelly
That my loved one
Is no more
Skeeter
I met you when you were newly born
Your face touched my heart, and you were mine
Companions we have always been
And I miss you now so terribly
I wish you were here to be with me
I will never forget your love shared
So unconditionally
You were mine, and my heart was yours
Wherever you may be, my dear beloved one
I’ll hold your essence right here
In my memory
Company
The birds in the sky
Are free to fly
And as they soar
Away from me
Your presence
Keeps me company
I Stopped Loving
You loved me
And I loved you
You were with me
During the night
Your face so clear
We spoke again
I stopped loving
And you married her
But last night
It was you and me
Again, alone
I stopped loving
But you never did
Sudden Death
I heard my
Mother’s voice
During the week
Of an April past.
On the weekend
She was gone,
That is how
Very sudden
Death can be.
Worlds Apart
Remembering the touch of your hands
As they caress the softness of my skin
You are not here, do you remember
The times we have shared, those moments alone
When the world faded away, and it was only you and me
Where are you now? How I long for the touch of your hands—
I crave you
Dreaming of You
I dream of you
At night when dreams are free
And thoughts are real
I dream of you
When you are nowhere near
But in my dreams
I dream of you
When you are far away
But by my side
I dream of you
When it cannot be
That you are here
I dreamt of you
Last night
Sun Whipped
Your love in all its to and fros
Highs and lows
Is as sunburn after a day on the beach
The bliss and joy and fun in the sun
Burns the skin leaving welts of whippings so bad
And I wonder
What did I ever do to make you behave
And do the things you do, behave as you always do?
If ever there was anyone who didn’t deserve my love, well what can I say? It’s you
