I dream of you
And when you are far away
My thoughts are close to you
You are with me even though distance
Divides, you are my confidante
The one in which I confide
You are the one I share
My life with, my body
With, my soul with
You are my lover
And my best
Friend
The silence is deafening
As I extend an unwelcome hand
Side by side we remain together
But distinctly apart
When love dies
Hope for tomorrow disappears
When hope dies
The joy you brought evaporates
When joy dies
The drive that spurned me on is gone
Replaced with a knife
Cutting through my heart so cruel
Leaving shards of glass
To splinter, tear and ruin
When love dies
My smile, my hope, my joy dies too

I used to think we were special
I used to think we were love
I used to think my dreams had come true
I used to think my prayers had been heard
But now I’ve learnt
My thoughts were just like threads of a spider’s web
Glistening in the sun
But as soon as it is touched
The magic that created it
Vaporises
Leaving the delicate threads
To disperse
As if nothing
Was ever there
Where are the words
When there are none to be said
I search for a line
But have nothing to say
I long for love
It is too much to ask
Our lives are parallel
Like two lines snaking down a track
Together into the future
Side by side
But never touching
Forever apart
I saw your baby girl today
Playing in the park
With her sparkling eyes
And dimpling smile
An echo of you
The pain surging through me
Cruelly reminded me
How far away I am
From being over you
Last night you kissed me
And caressed me and undressed me
I was the most beautiful woman in the world
This morning
You do not know me
The spark between us
Flickered and grew
My obsession with you
Knew no bounds
Until that time you left
With my heart
Still firmly in your hands
I used my words
To speak my thoughts
I spoke my mind
To make my point
I made my point
My mind was heard
And now today
I pay the price
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Whoa!.”
The most surreal experience
Is that moment I had of falling in love
Of waking every morning and knowing
Someone was waiting to be with me
To spend days of studying together
Being together
The chemistry, the attraction, that feeling of being alive
And in love
My heart was young
My body was too
Those were the best days
Of my life
