Through silence, we drift apartNothing to grow the connection of our heartsThough we were once intimateI fear the gap between us can never be metI hesitate to cut all ties, to finally say goodbyeThough I search the depths of my soulThe answers I seek I still don't knowMy thoughts drift back to long agoTo times, I cherish within my soulBut that was yesterday, the pastA point which we moved away from fastWe both try to hold...
Sing me tuneless comfortCradling my painHelp me bear the sadness Burdening my brain Hold me while I rememberWhat can no longer beThe unthought thoughts I dailyTry so hard not to think And while you act as sentryI can bear to feelThe feelings begging to be feltPress forward urgently With you near, they lose dangerA beast without its teethA snake without its poisonA fire without its heat Tame and placid finallyDocile memor...
That day the onset of the nightfollowed shortest daytime lightas winter’s first sun set in a gray sky.Then came blackness after fall.Winter darkness covered all.That night I held your hand and watched you die.And so began the painful startof winter for my damaged heart.I shivered from the chill I felt inside.My soul sank like that last day’s sunbecause I knew our love was done.I felt your fingers cool and then I cried.Per...
The day I found out about you was one full of mixed emotions. You were unexpected, unplanned but never unwanted yet I couldn’t shift the feelings of foreboding that I had. Uncertainty, fear, dread even, and the feeling that things were no longer within my control.I barely spoke of you since that day I said goodbye, I set your spirit free. You had been with me and a part of me for 28 weeks, but now it was time to let you f...
Where can my heart go to break? To lose this pain that I cannot shake, You ran right through it with a stake And left me with this numbing ache.Where can my heart go to bleed? To rid myself of this addictive need The love and hope that your words would feed And to kill the dreams you had guaranteed.Where shall my soul go to die? Is there somewhere above the sky? I hope it is warm and soft and dry And that it will comfort...
My name is El-My name is E-I don’t know my name. Who am I? More importantly, where am I?Oh.I didn’t quite know what I was doing at the ceremonial event. It was not ‘my kind of scene’. But there I was at the opening credits of the play, formal wear on, in one of the best seats. Somehow I was placed next to a man most of the world loved. He was a famous man, and he had enormous executive power in the country. But I didn’t l...

Having companionship can be the happiest thing in life, but saying goodbye to your companion can be extremely depressing. While you are having so much fun around him, suddenly, he is gone. Either migrated or death, you felt his presence has disappeared in your life. Everything changes. Different laughs, different smiles, different atmosphere, living in a different world. In the earlier stage, it will be the most painful p...
. The days are shorter,They grow colder,They grow dimmer,A breeze from the north. Green fades to gray,Not steady each day,But slowly, inexorably,The summer will fade. I feel it in my bones.I feel it in my head.I feel it in my soul.Little to feed my heart. The fields are more sparse,No leaves on the trees,The sun hides behind clouds.The chill seeps in. Winter is coming.I need you to huddle close.Before the heat fades.
I never cried for you. You knew me the best, the ache that always flared when I slept the wrong way, your soft hands would find it, body draped and spooned to mine as a living thermal blanket. You'd quietly touch in the dark, soothing that spinal ghostwithout request or a signal because I could not cry. You knew the unseen constriction buried within the plane of my chest, the ailment I once believed to be a phantom with n...
Once a child With a world so wide The sky so close I could spread my arms like wings Reach for the warmth of the sun Feel the fall of rainbows Washing over me Leaving me vivid I was color Soft like petals Opening for the first time Mouthing words Becoming sound Spelling my own name Always Dreaming forward More than a girl Less than a woman Learning power The curve of my smile To sway my own hips A request to hold my h...
Introduced to me By a dear friend A broken angel I knew could mend With time and patience And I knew was a must She was shy and scared But I earned her trust Body and soul She’d been wounded deep Her sweet angel wings Now lay at her feet. She and my friend We’d all laugh and cry But somehow I knew We could get her to fly With more time and patience She flapped her wings Her voice as a Robin Beginning to sing Her courage...
This is what I owe you My baby My Kate My memory It's that time of yearAgain I retreat Slowly First within closed curtains Darkened rooms Under the covers There are no dates or calendars needed None that can define How my mind drifts My body slows I cannot eat You were real I smell your newness In the oddest of places Hear you breathe The quickness of your heart Beating Woke me last night My body knows For this month I...
You were in my life Every single day Then so suddenly You went away I do not understand the words Or how one can say It gets easier with each passing day I have a need to talk to you To see and feel your touch I smile as your presence Washes over me I feel you in my mind Your laughter in my heart Your spirit never leaves me We're only physically apart Someday we will be together If the gods are kind Till then my darling A...
