stone heart

this heart carries a stone

where a rose once bloomed

where memories were stored

but now diminished into shadows

 

this heart carries tears

left behind after heartbreak

after we lost the sun

leaving on the moonlight

 

this heart carries a dream

that never bore fruit

it remains an unripe seed

spending eternity in the dark

 

 

- Went to the dark side for today's prompt: dVerse Poetics - This Valentin's Day, come and state it plainly

out of love

I gave my all

though in vain

the sky still fell

so many changes

did I fall in love

with a stranger?

the face before me

is not the one

I met that day

a love now lost

I walk under stars

memories in arms

what lies ahead

I wonder what lies

ahead beyond the blue sea

is it you and me?

I think of that day

I left you with words unsaid

lonely tears unshed

now filled with regrets

I wait for the rising sun

heart still holding hope

these words I write to you

I loved you at twenty

I think I still do at forty

in love with a dream that

will never became reality

I still have those dreams

same places, different faces

but they always come back

to your handsome eyes

you’re that far flung star

still luring in my heart

maybe I should instead

chase fireflies within reach

perhaps I should let go

those dreams and you

let these feelings sink

into deep blue oceans

banish

the feelings were too great

and yet at any rate

I banish

the desire I had within

I knew it’s a sin

to covet

what I simply can’t have

but my skin just won’t

stop burning

- Inspired by Poetic Asides 2019 April PAD Challenge: Day 25

when I am lonely

when I am lonely

I think of you and

what we once shared

but it was so long ago

the memories are

beginning to feel

more like a dream

than an old reality

when I am lonely

I pretend you’re here

still madly in love

and the bond that

mended us as one

but we both know

those ropes were

torn apart long ago

when I am lonely

I often wonder

where I went wrong

what road I should

have taken instead

of the one I followed

but the universe

never answers me

note

he left her a note

with words too harsh to speak of

they still stung them both

eternity

eternity

is what I wanted

with you

eternity

is what we promised

each other

eternity

is what slipped through

our fingertips

eternity

is the dream I keep

holding onto

            

transitioning in circles

every time you leave

a part of me dies

I’m not sure whether

there will be anything

left the next time

you’re always changing

like the seasons

and by now I should

know the routine

down to the decimal

yet every spring

I fall in love

every summer I

get lost in your eyes

every autumn you

tell me goodbye

and every winter

I cry tears over you

I wish I found you

I wish I found you

years ago

before my heart

was cleaved in two

I wish I found you

years ago

when I still held

hope for love

but now I feel

it’s too late

my heart has turned

into stone 

and now I feel

you’re too late

to make me believe

in love again

if only the Fates

let me find you sooner

we could have been

painting the sky

instead of writing

sad goodbyes
