I wonder if you think of me

and of things we used to do,

of all the times we laughed and cried;

this is my last love song to you.

 

I wanted to hold your heart someday

and stroll on sunset shores,

I’ve dreamed of resting in your arms,

whilst watching shooting stars.

 

It feels much like a lifetime,

that I’ve waited ‘round for you;

I’ve hung on every meagre word,

with tear stained eyes wet through.

 

You’ve held my heart within a vice

of neglect and nonchalance,

I’ve watched you from a distance,

did you think of me – just once?

 

I’m moving on and leaving you

back in the past where you should be,

this is my very last love song,

to a distant, cautious memory.

 

You’re not a man of mystery,

a lover, nor a friend,

you have no right to break my heart,

but I’ll love you ‘til the end.

Alexandra Carr-Malcolm, auld lang syne, love, poetry, separation, the last waltz

Rhythm, a sequence in time repeated, featured ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The haunting song,

in a melody,

reminders of you,

in a memory.

 

Dance the last waltz,

and sing Auld Lang Syne,

our time it was over,

heartbreak be mine.

 

You danced with another,

I sang a duet,

do you still remember,

the day when we met?

Lightning striking the Eiffel Tower

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How could you not realise?

Did you not think?

…that I would not notice,

we’re starting to sink.

Atmosphere’s electric,

could cut with a knife;

a lightning conductor,

where lightning strikes twice.

Our words are so crossed,

it’s a tangled up mess,

there’s really no hope,

we’re doomed! (More or less.)

So it’s pistols at dawn,

as we’re matched in a duel,

with our rapiers drawn,

adding fire to our fuel.

I know it’s no contest,

this match that we’re in;

like hell will you beat me,

I’m determined to win!

Bluestar Ink October 2012 Desktop Calendar

 

 

 

 

Why am I so invisible?

you do not seem to see,

all the things I do for you,

I always meet your needs.

 

I know that when I talk to you,

I may as well be dead,

you do not hear a single thing,

that I have bloody said!

 

Is it that you do not care?

I find it hard to conceive,

that anything I mention,

you simply don’t believe.

 

We really aren’t compatible,

I know without a doubt,

one day I’ll take my boring self,

and get the hell right out!

 

Until that day I’m stuck with you,

and all your childish ways,

I’ll spread my wings and fly away,

(I’m marking off the days!)

Empty Nest

English: Female robin cleaning the nest

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How can the sea,

leave the shore?

How can the moon,

the stars ignore?

 

How can I live,

without my heart,

and grieve for you,

whilst we’re apart?

 

How can my sun,

no longer shine?

I will not see,

sunrise sublime.

 

How can the word,

without the book,

the empty nest,

without the rook.

 

How can the empty

space be filled?

By graduations,

new lives rebuild.
