Every night when I go to sleep
There's one thought,
I my mind it creeps
Every time I close my eyes,
Its a picture of you,
That I spy
This is a Knife,
This is a Palm
This is a burn,
Gone is the balm
How to end this monologue tragedy bound?
So soft spoken,
Though you always had dad's ear
So beautiful,
Though every brother would sneer
Always on my mind
I love you beyond words,
And every day
I wish you were here,
Those words to hear me say
A coward, A coward
A coward is he?
Who so in pain,
Doth not the silent killer seek?
Is valiant, so valiant
This Knight you speak?
So mirrored by all,
In Admiration is he?
So forgotten, not gotten
So left aside is he?
Who so desperately,
Sought some comfort did he...
Some pillow or shoulder,
Or arm did he seek,
That in the cold did his hand,
In the fog blindly wish to meet
Some friendly face
Or smile did assure,
He is not yet redundant
Though this new one did soar
Oh so blindly,
And emptily did he pray
And if they ask did tomorrow,
Nothing shall he say...
She is gone, so is he
And they have no more,
Sides have been chosen,
And they Have No More
She is the unwritten chapter,
The blank pages of the book
Staring back at me,
With a great promise of a future old and yellow and wrinkled
The story of great romance,
Hidden in its plain bosomThe back pages are stained,
With the memories and battle scars of the past
Rushing blue like the rushing waters of a river of dreams,
Ebbing red like blood let drop by drop
Running through the tome,
Like a tapestry of pathos and ethosEach day the words come more into focus,
Closer to being etched unto antiquity
Chronicling warmth and clarity,
And the evolution of a human soul
Preserved as a foundation,
Upon which new chapters may yet be builtShe is the unwritten chapter,
The untold story
Nor oracle nor providence can yet contemplate,
The wonders or hurdles that lie ahead
For she is the unwritten chapter,
Still forming in my head
A young boy scours a crowd of faces with eager anticipation,
Awaiting the bright smile of a childhood crush
Sharing stolen moments,
And a lack of apprehension
She was the one that opened the lock,
And let the flood gates start
The one that came first,
And for long haunted his heartA teenager exploring,
Finds new meaning in the closest of friends
Apprehensive of his limits,
And frightened by where possibility ends
He discovers new things in the world,
And many too in himself
He leaves behind a rocky path,
And many lessons unlearned on the shelfA young man looking to find himself,
Losing his heart in the most random of meetings
Doomed by his immaturity,
And plagued by his fantasy of eros fleeting
In the right place,
At the wrong time
He played the clown,
But turned into a mimeA momentarily serendipitous mating of souls,
In a passion that burns him hot
Covered in the ash that remains,
His heart fused like wrought
Blackened and villainised,
A fall from grace
Surrounded by chiding reminders,
Of his "rightful" placeA man sitting on a bench,
Staring ahead at a path unseen
Feeling the inviting breeze,
From a yet undiscovered scene
Content in his present,
Ever mindful of his past
He knows not how much longer,
This great weather will lastBut he remains there yet,
Not begrudging a soul
Not the rocky crag that led him here,
Not the valley that burnt his soles
There was but one path to take,
That could lead him to this place
Where he stops and stares a while,
At the beauty of her face
My eyes can't focus
My patience wears paper thin
And the lack of depth perception
Is really getting under my skin
What is it about the night?
That makes us long so
For things the day did not give us
For hopes dashed, promises unfulfilled
What is it about the moon’s last shadow?
As it falls upon the eye for the last time
That makes us long
For things that lie beyond our grasp
As I lie in my bed
The stars blinking above
I reach out one last time
My fingers running swiftly from key to key
Forming the words before I can even think of them
Till there it lies before me
A message, a plea, a bid for redemption
In that moment a hundred thoughts fly through my head
Shall I send forth my creation?
Will it warrant reciprocated emotion?
Or will it bring only more pain?
And as I think I drift into slumber
Awaiting a response
That shall never come
