This is my,

very last love,

song to you.

It is time to,

say goodbye,

and move,

on.

I heard, our tune,

on the radio today,

it took me back.

Oh – how the years,

have dropped away.

I stopped to listen,

I thought things through,

a silent tear escaped,

as I remember how,

I still love you.

The years have come,

and the years have gone,

without you by my side,

the echoes of my yesteryear,

sing, always on my mind.

This is my,

very last love,

song to you.

It is time to,

say goodbye,

and move,

on.

Giving up and,

giving in…

a writers’ pain,

a lovers’ dream.

Blue moons come,

and blue moons go,

the pain remains,

of losing you.

The thought of,

having you no more,

is like the song,

without the score.

To give you up,

without a doubt?

but only when,

the blue moon’s out.

These walls imbued,

with poet’s mood,

whilst words refrain,

deflecting pain;

the primal scream,

relives the dream,

of love once scorned,

this life sojourned.

I hang on your words,

like a condemned man,

waiting, waiting, waiting;

the hour glass ticking,

moods pensive and tense.

To and fro, fro and to…

Cadaver pendulum swinging,

this way and that,

that way and this…

Tides ebb and flow,

moons wax and wane,

days come, weeks go.

Still waiting, waiting…

ever waiting, for

just one word,

from,

you.

Did I spy a secret,

in the corner of your eye?

If you were to tell me,

would it make me cry?

Do you think it’s worth it,

to keep up this charade?

Life is complicated,

why make it so hard?

Would it not be better,

to go our separate ways?

To accept that it’s all over,

and fight another day.

We are together you and I,

destined to be conjoined.

We cannot part,

though I have tried –

two sides of the same coin.

You have your demons,

I have mine,

our paths not meant to cross,

parted from our distant poles,

without you I am lost.

Your heart refrains my harmony,

our breath is intertwined,

your dreams haunt mine,

I shadow yours,

you dwell within my mind.

Our souls can’t be dissevered,

but neither can they join;

we are from different planets,

defying space and time.

I’ve seen your face,

a thousand times,

it’s like the setting sun.

I’ve called your name,

have you called mine?

I rise and you are gone.

We are so different,

you and I,

you’re up when I am down.

You call, I run,

but where are you,

when I need a friend around?

You are the sun,

cowardly cold,

remote, aloof, and chilling.

You’ve hid in shadows,

all of my life,

acknowledgement unwilling.

I am the moon,

with passions bright,

your fire sears scars anew.

You wax and wane,

and spin my world,

‘til I don’t know what to do.

I’ve seen your face,

a thousand times,

you’re fire and I am ice.

You’ve broke my heart,

so many times –

Let go – I’ve paid the price.

How I lived,

loved, and

lost,

in a

day.

A crisp winter

walk. Breath.

November

skies so

fresh.

Suffocating summer

afternoons, spent

making love, in

your bedroom.

Passionate.

Autumn abandonment.

Love tossed aside.

Sad, bitter tears,

words said,

love dead.

Armchair reminiscence,

so long ago,

memories,

spring,

forth.

How I lived,

loved, and

lost,

in a

day.

Silhouettes and Soliloquies

I’m hiding in the shadows,

it’s where I long to be,

drifting into dreamscapes,

singing sad soliloquies.

I have my other life, you see?

I’ve lived it since a child;

It’s not quite real – that I know,

but I’ve lived it for a while.

The daytime is the hardest,

a cruel life chased by death;

but night time is so easy,

sleep brings immortal breath.

What’s real, what’s not?

Well who’s to say?

Each one its own delusion,

by night the moon –

by day the sun –

each life is an illusion.

Shadows play upon my mind,

ghosts welcome setting sun;

silhouettes of dreams gone by

half-lives, loves-lived, undone.

So let me go, and leave me be,

to live each night anew.

I’ll sing my sweet soliloquies,

while dreams bring me to you.

You take my heart and rip it out

you stamp it in the ground,

then toss it in the gutter

where it cannot be found.

You savage, you shred it,

until you see the blood.

You cast it off and kill it

and grind it in the mud.

I pick it up and wrap it,

I’ll take it home to keep,

for I will not be needing it,

I’ll bury it and weep.

My poor heart it is broken

You’ve left it all in tatters.

You walk away and leave it,

To you it doesn’t matter.
