Falling Out of Love

Faithfully forever

Affinity connection

Lariat placed around soul

Labyrinth of emotions

Impel heart that is dying

Narrative vague subliminal

Grotesques images infiltrated

 

Odyssey together never taken

Unfulfilled dreams deserted

Thievery of years wasted

 

Ossuary holds what remains of desires

Fidelity turns to fallacy belief

 

Languish passions dwindle to resentment

Overt gestures scream abandonment

Virulence acrimony in the end

 Evanescent to falling out of love

Observation

Smoothness of your skin invites temptation

Your lips speak eroticism

The smell of your perfume ignites the flame

In your smile reveals hidden secrets

Hands express a hunger to explore

Deep treasures

Flowing locks of sensuality

Only rival inner exquisiteness

Sway of hips to a silent tempo

Dancing legs from the heavens

To grace the earth

Vivacious, inhale exhale

Your beauty excels

Watching you is putting me through hell

Come to me in this moment of need

Release the frustration of you so near

Pounding of heart deafens the agony

Wanting for this to be over

This is more than a mere observation

I’m an addict you’ve become a drug

So give me my fix and let me fly

Like the birds that grace the universe

Oh now you know that’s the way

I like it here let me do the honors

Slowly seductively, weaving a spell

Take you into my arms peel away

The layers of defense strip you naked

Lay you down observing every inch of your soul

Last chance to behold sanity

One taste of you and there’s no

More reality diving deeper and deeper

Into observation 

The Ocean

 

Immense body of water

Endless in all directions

Echoes thoughts

Of wonderment

Casting its hypnotic spell

Drifting on the ocean’s waves

Careless days

And youthfulness

Designing sandcastles in the sand

Watching the seagulls as they land

In the distance can be heard

The laughter of children

Chasing after sand crabs

Sitting, meditating, on the meaning

Of life

In vast view of the ocean

God Can You Hear Me

 

I'm tired I need peace of mind

My soul is weary, and my spirit broken

My knees are raw from all the kneeling

I've lost my voice from all the crying

God, can you hear me I'm afraid of the unknown

Today I hunger for spiritual food

I can't picture tomorrow being all sunshine

Yesterday I lived in sorrow

I'm broken and I don't know how

To be fixed

God, can you hear me

Please tell me what I should do

The road is lonely, and I'm confused

I keep running in the wrong direction

And the voices that keep

On telling me to be strong

I ignore

I have no home

And my children I morn for

My heart is empty except

For the despair that's taken up

Dwelling in its core

God, can you hear me

My steps are slow and uneven

I'm the walking dead

I've given everything that I am

Only to receive ashes in return

Drowning in the bottom

Of a bottle hoping to find answers

Drinking my problems away

Just for a moment

God, can you hear me

I don't think I can with stand

Much more

I don't think I can continue

In this pain

Life was never meant

To be this hard

This complicated

God, can you hear me

Can you hear

Me

Can you hear

Me now…

 

 

Gaslighting

I build you up

Only to break you down

Give you hope

Then stomp on it

Into the ground

Make you think

The world is square

When it's round

Question if what

I'm telling you

Is profound

Are you crazy?

Or just being Gaslight

I can convince you

I'm right

When I'm wrong

Have you hearing

Voices

It's only a song

In your mind

Seeing things that

Aren't really there

Are you sane?

Or has insanity crept in

This is only partial

To what comes next

Psychological warfare

Emotional blackmail

Mental manipulation

Will seal the deal

And you'll never

Even imagine

What's real or

A fantasy

When I'm through

With gaslighting

 

Reminiscence

 

Rewind the clock back to

Yesteryears

When life was simple

And love was our guide

Caught up in a fantasy

Shutting out reality

Creating our own truth

Never taking the time to examine

True motives

Questioning a journey

Two people together

Should be as one

Selfishness, disrespect

Distrust, hate, indifference

Grew into a cycle of abuse

Toxic love

Poison

Cherished words turned

Into curses

And the dream became

A nightmare

Thought I’d remain a victim

That was a lie

Behind the tears and the shame

I found my voice

Now I stand strong

I am strong and no more

Reminiscing

 

Regret 835

 

I think about the day we met

Didn’t think I’d be sitting here

Visiting regrets

Happy memories

The laughter

When did it turn into a disaster?

Shadows cast an eerie outline

To a life that was supposed to shine

Thought you’d catch me if I fall

Never imagine you would

Let me hit the ground
