An Unrequited Love

In the depths of night, my heart does pine, For a love unreturned, a love not mine. A silent ache, a bittersweet despair, Unrequited love, a burden hard to bear.

I watched you from afar, like a distant star, Your radiance shining, from where you are. But in your eyes, I found no reflection, Of the love I felt, a one-sided affection.

I wrote you letters, with words so true, But you never read them, never had a clue. My love remained hidden, a secret well-kept, In the chambers of my heart, where it silently wept.

I longed for your touch, your tender embrace, But you walked away, leaving no trace. And yet, I loved you, with all my might, Though you were the day, and I the endless night.

Unrequited love, a painful art, It tears at the soul, it rips it apart. But still, I cherish the moments we shared, Even though you never truly cared.

For in this love unreturned, I found my grace, A bittersweet lesson in this endless chase. To love without expectation, without demand, Is to love in its purest form, so grand.

So, I'll carry this love, like a sacred dove, In the chambers of my heart, forever to love. For though it's unrequited, and may never be, It's a testament to the depth of love in me.

Twilight

 

In twilight's tender, soft embrace we meet,

Where stars above our secrets sweetly keep,

A love that blooms like flowers kissed by dawn,

In your gaze, all my doubts and fears are gone.

 

Your smile, a sunbeam in the darkest night,

Guiding me through life's labyrinthine flight,

Your laughter, like a melody so pure,

In your arms, I find a love that's sure.

 

With every heartbeat, our souls intertwine,

A symphony of love, so divine,

Your touch, a whisper that ignites my skin,

In your embrace, all of life's joys begin.

 

Through life's twists and turns, I'll stand by your side,

In your love, my heart and soul abide,

For you are my forever, my endless dream,

In your love's embrace, I am redeemed.

Summer Solstice

I will think of you
in the morning
when the sun rises
in the east.
In the moments
between sleeping
and awakening.
I will think of you
when the birds sing
Their songs filling my ears
Whispers of a memory
Fleeting as a dream.
I will think of you as the sun sets
Bleeding colors into the sky
Reflections of another life
Blissful in reverie
I will think of you always
Of a heart that was never mine.

the dream

Patchwork images
Flicker through my mind
Snapshots of what once was
Remnants of dreams half spoken
Whispered promises
Now lost in time.

Do you remember?
A life lived only in a dream
Promises built out of lies.
Hearts shattered upon awakening.
Fragmented beyond repair.
The dream is lost.
Eyes wide open to a scream.
Internal.
Eternal.
Deafening as it crescendos.
Waves crashing silently upon the fields.
