Mix-tape Love

Lost in mix-tape melancholy; malignant madness was that love

Intoning lovingly his precious name as I slept in his football scarf 

An empty photo frame haunted; in which our smiles once beamed

In safe arms, a starlit car journey, that later tore me at the seams

Petals glued upon my doorstep that spelled out his love for me

A perfect proposal by a lake that veered into treacherous seas

Then came an aeroplane ascending, taking with it all my dreams 

A bluey beneath a pillow, a tear-stained, religious, midnight read

Tender, timely words that reassured; when in my greatest need 

A fist through a door; possessions heaped in hatred on the lawn

Contented, passionate weekends; curled up, in idle, blissful yawns

A ring once grand now jaded; a familiar friend that adorns my hand

Our love a headless, heroic, heretic and yet together we still stand

Art by Samy Charnine ~'Almost Time

I Dream In Myths Of Ancients

I need to learn, to 

you I should not bare my soul

It's obvious you 

don't get me... we're not mirrored.

You and I don't make a whole 

Because of Zeus, am

I condemned to walk alone?

Four legs, four arms,  two 

faces, he clean split in two 

..soul mates trying to find home 

If it's just a myth,

then why do I feel so lost?

My soul yearns for a

kindred other, my other 

half... will our paths ever cross? 

Perhaps if I drown

in a sea of tears, I'll find

my kingfisher mate;

or if I hold my torch fast...

the wind won't doom my love's fate

Don't listen to me!

My head frequents clouds; I dream

in myths of ancient

Maybe I just need to ground 

myself...learn to be patient

Beacon

The Unseen

I tell you it's better this way 

...I want to beg you to stay

The smile upon my face hides 

..all the nights that I've cried 

You tell me you need to see me

...I tell you to forget...be free 

I want you to be so happy 

...it just can't be with me

I remind you of choices we've made 

...I feel my dreams futilely fade 

You say, I'm always on your mind

...I deny our thoughts are entwined  

I implore you... you must walk away

...I know I'll pine... day upon day 

The time has now come... we must part

...I'm left with my unseen... tortured heart
