Modern Romanticism

Stretch acrossthat long overdueplace, that youoversaw. Dreams wererough, among clouds,hopeful among thunder.Nothing became life,within that blunder. Someone else told youthat life cannot worsen,when hurts are past,like shadows cast. No kiss everreturned, from bliss,from stings of concern. Where you turnedlike leaves blowing east,I kept to my knees. I kept finding fruitin those shadows, formedfrom your tears.… Continue reading Poem – “The Scent without Taste” – Love Poetry – 8/9/2022 →

If Autumn lifts itsleaves, back to tremblingboughs. When all thatfell, comes back to haunta deserted mother,we will see our tears returnup from its surrender,with words to rememberwithout fog aboveour vast ocean. Love makes musicin grief, without sightupon reunion. What drownsbecome glimmers amongthose waves, gone downin their crash to lashthose backs, where morewords are written. Scars… Continue reading Poem – “An Ocean’s Words” – Grief Poetry – 8/9/2022 →

I cannot care enoughto live, if I cannotremember enoughto love. All those linesdrawn for winter's arrivalof gray. Though, you keepblooming, while heartsare buried deep. With this sadness,comes madness, out ofsome former symptomof gladness. All those tearsthat fell, together.All those downpoursthat kept our hopesonly floating. What travels, if notmeaning to stop? What stops,if not meaning to… Continue reading Poem – “Last of your Kind” – Grief Poetry – 8/7/2022 →

Stirring glance,a summer's dancewhere blushing storiesare told, underforgotten worries. I will renouncea scene for remorse.I will resoundthose etched, scrawled vows,renewing what cannotleave, from where itever stopped. Caught tears,in a puddle for collection.Cards laid downto gamble, one final time,on a heart thatforever chimes. Wiped smearson cheeks meant to glow. I come to hearyour grief, where it… Continue reading Poem – “Following Lane” – Love Poetry – 8/7/2022 →

In each other's eyes,for each other's cries,within each other's sighsdisappearing intoafternoon storms.Drifting above,falling below.Winter has ever beenthat glacier moving slow. An inborn slipto one lying tongue,as I had to consolethat one who took a tollto breathe, before she soldher heart, froma hundred folds, in onebook of promises. One hundred pauses,one more break to seewhat refuses… Continue reading Poem – “Are we Smoke?” – Grief Poetry – 8/7/2022 →

If heavens held,in supported wings,for passion's melt.If eyes were skyward,words were forward,sentences were clearwithout storms. I had taken to you,before rocks had fallen.Ice, with heartsthat sunk with ships.A love, gone overboard,burying our skies,thumping to a faint rhythm,thundering with a distant soundwhere our storm moves onwith its gathered gray. Speaking in a sequence,trembling before those coldwindows,… Continue reading “Departure of Birds” – 10-stanza Free Verse Poem – 8.6.2022 →

There might be violetsto see from storms.There might be wordsbefore those swords,ever were held againstyour fragile neck. Because you wantto disbelieve in those signs,that we conceived.Because of that, you moved,without ever rememberingour state, our bliss. A dream, this terriblegave you tremors from adifferent source. A nightmare, this sweetgave you hope to seebeyond where stains seeped.… Continue reading Poem – “If you can come Around” – Love Poetry – 8/4/2022 →

Answers. Reconnectour surrender. If we keepsummer, drawn over,as blank pages, we have drownedin our thunder. We have left, our eyesstinging for each other's stare.Our passion rises,our currents swell.Oceans have moved on,when fires have died. We had left, our tonguesat that frozen word,exploring doubt, in a subtleshout. One crude sign, upona least driven road.A single point… Continue reading Poem – “If Time could Leave” – Love Poetry – 8/3/2022 →

Departure. At a drift.Regression, before a kissmight have receded these waveswhile I walk on for cliffsto send beneath, this fall. Mute this note. Force onemouth to close. I have beentoo close, for words to connect. Loss of grace. A lack of waterin its space. Leaving marks, trailsfor your ghost to follow. Dry lips. Emptied arms.Folded… Continue reading Poem – “Covered in Rust” – Loneliness Poetry – 8/3/2022 →
