Poetry

Here and There

Effortlessly she glides, here and there,

She moves as if lighter than the air.

Spellbound I cannot take my eyes away

From the beauty, and the sheer purity

Which eminates from her every pore.

 

I long for her to see, to notice, to engage,

Yet nothing but grace surrounds her.

She could stumble, and fall, and still

She would be mesmeric in the way

She carries herself, here and there.

 

Why, oh why must she surround my

Every waking thought. My dreams, my nightmares,

All engorged in my lust for her exquisite form.

The way the sun illuminates her skin,

Her beauty reflected, here and there.

 

And Everywhere. She is everything, yet at the

Same time she is nothing. A mere memory,

And nothing more. Oh how I love her.

 

Oh how I miss her. Her beauty blows me away still,

Yet it is no longer before me. Though it will

Linger always, here and there.  

Love’s Epitaph

Love’s face is everywhere.

I see it in every single thing.

Every moment it transcends emotion,

And becomes a real, physical entity.

 

It is the smile of a mother.

It is the glint in a husband’s eyes.

Every moment it manifests itself,

In the inspiring brilliance of humanity.

 

But then there is heartache.

And then there is you.

Every moment the memory of your love,

Haunts my heart and soul.

 

Love’s face is everywhere.

I cannot escape its grasp.

Every moment its power engulfs me,

And I drown in a sea of despair.

 

Love’s face is everywhere.

Stuck Eternally On You

Your scent is everywhere.

Haunting my every step,

The sorrow is kept on the surface.

All that is beautiful, and fair,

My mind connects with all

Which is evident in you.

 My thoughts rarely wander far,

From all I know of you.

Love, care, purity at heart,

Intrinsic in all you do.

So how will I progress from here?

Ideas, not even a few.

So where will I progress from here?

I have not even a clue. 

Who Knows

Smile. Just for a moment.

Don’t be so closed off. Don’t be so you.

Open your heart to the world

And who knows the joys you can find.

 

Cry. Just for a moment.

Don’t bottle it all up. Expose it.

Let loose your fears and who knows,

You might even learn to laugh.

 

Smile. Just for a moment.

Don’t carry the weight of the world. Relinquish it.

Tell a stranger your biggest secret

And who knows what freedom you’ll find.

 

Cry. Just for a moment.

Don’t regret your mistakes. Embrace them.

For even if you leave, who knows,

The memories might keep me warm.
