    Poem – “I was before Beauty with Her Fading Smile” – Romance – 11/22/2019

    Why had it endedWithout faultGiven upon the other?I am so much in the wonderment,So much in the Hellish endurance,Of pain and growing pain.What is so hard to describe,Is that you will love me as another friend,Is that you will drop tears for somethingThat faded as a distant sunset,That faded alike the tears which have driedUpon…

    Poem – “Keep Your Eyes Closed For Me” – Romance – 11/22/2019

    Keep your eyes closed,And focused uponHow we dance upon,Loose petals upon these lashes,Lashes black and heavy,Hanging with the loose and weighty tears.And among all the demonic curves,To your handsome form,There is beauty radiating everywhere.There is the Autumn, with its guiding chill,Pulling us towardsThe lonely valley with its fading breath.There is great wind from two distant…

    A Realization – “A Debate Between Confusion and Correction” – Dialogue – 11/21/2019

    Confusion: A correction is what you name to be a rising. Then, what else would you do, besides to raise? Correction: Would it be better to fall? Confusion: It would be better to be modest. Correction: And only modest for a short time, before the one who raises remembers their place. Confusion: And what do…

    Poem – “Her Grief Behind the Veiled Eyes” – Romance – 11/21/2019

    Love will never go as planned,Not like we demand,Here’s an altar for your wisdom, your teachings,A sea of suffering is for your body,For you to swim in all tears we’ve collected.Yet, could you stand the salt?The taste of pain in your mouth,Might be enough to protect. Why had we loved?Why had we never sinned,Even as…

    Poem – “Drained Blackened Tears” – Romance – 11/21/2019

    The firmament of a woman,An idle focus,On ever-idler blood,Her heart holds the face of swelling sadness,A music that describes miseryIn untold tempests,With waves that roar against her form,And tears that beckon their coming upon simple cheeks.What flame has been extinguished?What pair of eyes no longer look? What seeming fault,Have I been elsewhere to overlook?What denial…

    Poem – “Myself Whole in Another” – Romance – 11/20/2019

    Myself was broken in one,My heart is broken into smallest pieces,At this very moment.And I would love to kissThe lips of tragedy.It is not as urgent,As to kiss the lips of quietness,To calm this groaning heart. Your face of mine,With kisses tender,Kisses quiet,Kisses soothing.It was a matter of factTo my mind,That I’d be able to…

    Poem – “Outside My Reach” – Romance – 11/20/2019

    Outside my reachWas a love,Was a heart of a woman,Was the kiss of a life,It would not happen.It would not happen. And I am filled with the grief,Of a thousand eternities,With this pain to my heart.This poet’s hand of mine,Is disallowed to swipe a tear,He swipes syllables,And writes them dear,Writes them with fear. I have…

  • Poem – “Your Eyes are a Place of Forgetfulness” – Romance – 11/20/2019

    Poem – “Your Eyes are a Place of Forgetfulness” – Romance – 11/20/2019

    Stuck upon the stare,I am.With swollen grief, so aware,To the current AutumnAnd its fountains of frost.The mist pushes my heart closed,And I feel all surrounding pain.All surrounding, alike the air I breathe,As it is the same, within. Love was my currency,And my feast.Love was my heart,And its attack upon my heart.Now it flows like the…

    Poem – “A Bled Wound upon the Page” – Romance – 11/20/2019

    A bled wound upon the pageSeeks to rewrite virginity,In the named events to this day.I am something of a man,Loyal to loyalty.You were something of a woman,Loyal to realism’s mind.And I foresaw a place embeddedIn the white garb of a veil,In nothing uncertain for what I decidedWould only be my dream. My heart now bleeds,Flesh…

  • A Man’s Personal Thought – “For a Woman within the Political World” – 11/20/2019

    A Man’s Personal Thought – “For a Woman within the Political World” – 11/20/2019

    I’d be compassionate and merciful enough, to hold back a woman from such a diseased realm, as the “political world”. It is never a “restriction from rights”, in my mind, as a woman can do all she wishes. Though, if something like a man’s compassion, or his way with mercy, or his way with empathy,…

  • A Man’s Personal Thought – “The Theme of Love between Men and Women, and its Old Difference” – 11/17/2019

    A Man’s Personal Thought – “The Theme of Love between Men and Women, and its Old Difference” – 11/17/2019

    What does a man deserve most, from his loving woman? It would not be sameness, being the same desiring from before love ever laid petals in his heart. That same desiring being respect, the advancement of his ego; he does not want this. It is forgiveness, that which a man desires most. In his heart…

    Poem – “My Face now Pangs in Pain” – Romance – 11/17/2019

    To what you said, on the yesterday,I now recoil at the memory.My mind will not stay still, my tears will not stop flowing.My body shudders, while my hands shake,My fears are what flood the Earth, with all of everythingI knew to be, the utmost tragedy. Where was God, in my place,Where was love, for my…
