Reflection

I walked away

I walked away before I could speak another word

I wanted to love you so bad

I wanted to beat my heart into forced submission

Into a first love forever

NOTHINGS FOREVER the cynic in me yells

The sun rises every day and plasters my skin with its paint

I glance in the mirror and recoil

It’s still me, I recognise my spirit

I loved you once

I’ll always love the time we shared

I remember those potatoes you peeled

And cooked

And served

With salt and herbata

The sugar bowl in water to prevent the ants from reaching inside

I remember Home Alone 2

And laughing on the floor

With splitting sides

All those moments we shared.

She stroked my fingers. In my dreams she visits me.

Poetry, my love.

Sweep Me Up

I love you my darling

I love you my sweet

I need you to hold me

I need you to sweep –

To sweep me forever

In your hidden charms

To hold me my darling

In your loving arms

I know it’s not easy

I push those away

That dare to tread closely

Or otherwise stray

Away from my touch

Away from my words

But love me my darling

Forever I’m yours

Satellites

Against a naked sky

Satellites

Cut across the void

Oh! – my empty heart

If only truth be told

My love and depth of need –

Unending

Pain and endless tears

I cling to you as best I can

While looking to the stars

So anchored firm and sure

For all those

Times and ages past

Now nothing is the same

Lights and satellites –

Expose the hidden cast

Nostalgia

Whifts of a long lost scent

Aroused my senses.

We were there, you and I –

In an all too brief

Moment.

I breathed you in without

Thinking and only feeling.

With nostalgia and an

Inexplicable longing

I breathe you out.

Nineteen Years

I’m so grateful for your love

I’m so grateful for your hand

I’m so glad you came along

Just when all my hope had gone

I’m so grateful for our life

And to ever be your wife

Nineteen years we have been blessed

Nineteen years, sweet companionship

Dove

Could you love me if you tried?

Could you be here by my side

I’ve loved you all through days and years

Loved you through all my falling tears

Oh! To feel the warmth of love

Soft and gentle as a dove

Could you love me if you tried?

Could you love me? Please! I cried.

Covered

Can I capture time? Trap moments in a bottle and seal with a golden cork. Oh my darling with your lips on mine and your hips so fine and your tender caresses and your kisses of wine.

Oh my darling I love you so, could you ever really know? Would you ever know the love that flows, a stream that drowns my fears, that washes my tears, that carries me to you again and again and again.

I drown in my sorrow. The emptiness that covers me in black. I’m left with a pitch of death and no escape. My soul screams for love. My soul screams for help. I cry for you, oh my darling, oh my love. Where are you?
