Fragments of my life are etched upon my face; I've managed perverse tragedy with false dignity and grace;  Time proceeds incessantly, seasoned anguish lurks inside; Exuding the facade of strength though I sincerely want to hide;  Floods of tears drench my cheeks, desolation annihilates my heart; Fate reckons with my sanity as my soul breaks apart.

You must put that photograph away! What you had was once lovely, but Tomorrow is always another day. These feelings you have for her are ugly. Time heals wounds they say, Memories are what one has had. These feelings on your heart do weigh, You both took different paths. You need to stop trying to pretend, That you'll ever get her back again, Face the facts, it's at an end but, There's that photograph line again... You ca...

It just came out of the blue With such venom and malice. The words of anger and contempt. They tore and ripped at my heart and soul. The sound of the words died, However, the effect and damage ravages on. I hide the sadness and regret. Shed many tears in silence. I will live with it and move on. I have too many other things to live for. That is life and relationships. They run hot and cold And swirl as the winds blow. The...

We were together, for a little while; I think about you, and the way you smiled.We were friends forever, until that night;That dreadful night, you lost your life.When I got the phone call, it was so surreal,I was numb, and shocked could this be real?My best friend, who I loved with all my heart;Was taken from me, and now we are apart.Sometimes, I hear your voice, and your laugh;I get so sad, as you were my other half.I al...

Today you're here and tomorrow you're gone, I guess you decided you must move on. We were together for so many years,All that's left are so many tears. I still don't understand and I am trying to cope,Why you left me is there any hope. You said you loved me and I believed you,Obviously, you lied and now it's untrue. All I feel is sadness and pain,Everything is so dark and hard to explain. In the beginning I sat and I hope...

I would call your name over and over; Can you hear me? I would talk slower. I often wondered does he hear? Reading and searching with great fear. I asked the doctors if something was wrong; They said he is delayed, and he will come along. There are so many symptoms as I read; It seems Autism is very widespread. The pain and the anguish starts to happen; Waiting and waiting to start some action. The waiting lists to see sp...

No!!! Do not seek my eyes Blurred dimmed sightless visionaries Mirror to my anguish so strong It will bring you to your knees. Broken shards of a shattered soul Glowing bright and red, trampled the purity Piercing my heart bleeding it to death The residual blood burning acid Bringing me hellish agony. My eyes are weeping bloody putrid acid Smoke rising from burning iris Relentless weeping, unending screams, pain Heart a p...

The Barren Woods When did, in the late spring of my years, the forest become so barren? Wandering, I can only find trees, with roots watered in booze and twigs of glass that whisper in the dark. The trees crumble to ash when I touch them, sweeping away in the wind. The ash burns when it blows in my face, bringing tears to my eyes that are black when they roll down my cheeks.

This is a semi-fictional piece, the names of the characters have been changed. Special thanks to my ex-boyfriend ,PrinzLucky ,for support and editing.  Darlene dragged herself out of bed. It was only 6 a.m. in the morning, and the sky was still dark. Nevertheless, she had to be rudely awakened by her servant, Lin, to get up and get ready for that miserable thing called school. She grimaced at the thought of school. Today,...

The trappings of my heart Devour me to be A woman who succumbs To her feelings free And in that intensity I question myself About my past, future and present. For all I see is a smokescreen in front And the silhouette of the knight Riding the horse He looks so calm and content To be him Yet I sense a pain within Is he just passing by Or approaching me I do not know and The doubt disturbs me For all I fear I will be hurt a...
