Bleed, as I do, for the cruelty in the dew, Of each tear that falls as elegantly as you do.

Poem – “A Bridge between Hearts” – Romantic Poetry – 2/12/2020
Swallow upThe tears that have made this well riseFrom the cracks in my soul.My love has fallen.She has fallenTo somewhere I cannot see,To a bleeding sea,And now lies in a sceneOf outspread limbsUpon a bloody shore.Love flows a mile and a half across,This tale of loss.Across a sea of treacheryAnd the sinew and skin of… Continue reading Poem – “A Bridge between Hearts” – Romantic Poetry – 2/12/2020
Poem – “Do not Die, before my Farewell” – Romantic Poetry – 2/10/2020
Where you shall beIn the coming days,I implore you not to pass from this realm,Without my whisper into your ear.Without the returned gentlenessYou have bestowed always upon me,In the darkest of days,When hope seemed lost, and doom seemed endless.Without my mouth near your ear,There will be everything for me to fear.When tears flow to my… Continue reading Poem – “Do not Die, before my Farewell” – Romantic Poetry – 2/10/2020
Poem – “Like the Hell that had been Patient” – 2/9/2020
Hell is a patient sort,Willing to wait for itself to coverWhat we will name to be human.What is it to be merciful?To have said this, is to meanThat there are deeper things, than Hell.For I believe,That even Hell can be burned from our life.Its fires are meager.Hell is still a patient sort,Willing to wait for… Continue reading Poem – “Like the Hell that had been Patient” – 2/9/2020
Poem – “A Film Reel of Hurt” – Romantic Poetry – 1/31/2020
She was the sun in my life,She knew what to do with my strife.I drew her face in for a solitary kiss,From across the ocean,But, the death of her, was enough to loseThe everything to make my wife.To love, again,Is to see the sun again.How can IWhen the nothing I see, is the darkness I… Continue reading Poem – “A Film Reel of Hurt” – Romantic Poetry – 1/31/2020
Poem – “Bent before the Farewell Kiss” – Romantic Poetry – 1/27/2020
Please,I am upon my knees,To receive,The kiss that answers my pleas.For I am numbBy raw strife,Knowing you'd not be my wife,In the turmoil that shaded our life.What was it like, to lie?To speak of being vulnerable, while IFell into bleak and miserable sighsOne after the other, with muffled cries,Into my hands, pouring from my eyes.A… Continue reading Poem – “Bent before the Farewell Kiss” – Romantic Poetry – 1/27/2020
Poem – “Was it Emotion?” – Romantic Poetry – 1/26/2020
Was it emotionThat compelled you to betray?The sight of meMust be the eclipse,The two hands that made their wayOver to your crying eyes,And blinded your vision.Who was the seeing manIn this apocalyptic romance?For I was blinded, too,By our coldness, in the tears we both rainedTo our kneesThat we hugged close to heart,As the snow hung… Continue reading Poem – “Was it Emotion?” – Romantic Poetry – 1/26/2020
Poem – “The Red in Our Eyes” – Romantic Poetry – 1/25/2020
We are divided between currentsThat fall from eyes made of glass,And to shield our faces makes us witnessThe shame we decorate ourselves with,As we bleed.We bleed dewdrops over cheeks made of ivory,And kiss love awayAs the emotion it was,Meant to stay.Agony is now our new bliss,Our cheeks, our faces, the silver tears we kiss,Buried inside… Continue reading Poem – “The Red in Our Eyes” – Romantic Poetry – 1/25/2020
Poem – “How Beautiful you are…” – Romantic Poetry – 1/25/2020
How beautifulOne such as me, can describeEach detail, with astonished eyes.Beauty is but a weakness, a place of clayThat requires the water, for sculpture.It is nothing, without the hands atop it,And so, I go to mold.I craft legs to appear as water-bent pillarsTo hold upPoseidon's very palace, should he have one,Or a cottage, that runs… Continue reading Poem – “How Beautiful you are…” – Romantic Poetry – 1/25/2020
Poem – “A Dying Radiance” – Romantic Poetry – 1/25/2020
Who bequeathed the roseAbove your brow?Where each petal runs rampant, to fallTo meet the lips that callMy name, through the frosted walls.What love turned itselfUpon an old and delicate leaf?When beauty wakes up, and nestles besideThe stirring loneliness, of a man in a hollow form,And he lays next to a shadow.Merely a quilt that covers… Continue reading Poem – “A Dying Radiance” – Romantic Poetry – 1/25/2020
Poem – “The Face of Beauty” – Romantic Poetry – 1/24/2020
Oh, idleness,Unchanging woman,Who I love.There is, to you, of what I observe,A frame, myself, and you, the painting.You have beauty that thunders a spark across the skies, above.Love cannot any longer, lift it up,All I may do is sculpt it, into a memorable form, of what I knew.I knew, through portraits that still enrage me,That… Continue reading Poem – “The Face of Beauty” – Romantic Poetry – 1/24/2020
Poem – “The Eroded Ocean” – Romantic Poetry – 1/23/2020
Come for me,If you dare,And step with your formless feetAcross depths, made of flesh,Perfect for your footfalls.Come and tear at me,With your eyes upon my hands,That rent apart this ocean made of rottenness,With anger in my eyes,You'll fall inward.And I'll fail,And fall before you,Little angel of my demise,I will submit,To beauty that keeps me alive.Ashes… Continue reading Poem – “The Eroded Ocean” – Romantic Poetry – 1/23/2020
