Premium Member A Better Man
Am I a better man today Than yesterday? Who knows Outwardly nobody can say Inwardly there I was.. I was, this pretty much describes Me in the present tense I’m living in the past that dies Within a plot I sense It saves a better life for us That’s where I belong Isn't in something you may trust Apart of life that's gone Those days with darling...

Fragments
I saw you lift the glass, While I sat still in the class, Staring out at the grass, As Julius Lilos walked past, Lost in thoughts of mass, And echoes of the past, That I can't quite surpass, Bounded by shadows cast, Leaving me gasping fast, Shattered, like broken glass....

Premium Member Looking for past love
Looking for your summer The spring of you turned into a winter from you; of you, frozen soul with love following you Going through a painful life, after you, hmm, after of you, end of summer go. Love(s) you Autumn-colored October leaves my unreceived letters; you are just walking and trapping On my love lines, love words read off...

I’m not enough
Tell me why my first instinct is to reminisce, To stare at photos filled with memories of bliss. Each scroll weighs heavy, burdened by truth, Moments captured, now lost in youth. I wonder where I fell short? I thought you liked the way I tasted, The way I called out your name? You said my smile was your uttermost favorite, So I tried...

Ja 'Quelle
When the lights go off When curtains are drawn When stillness settles here I lie thinking It is you swirling in me like feathers in soft winds or letters over an ocean Like a little girl swings in spring time ...

Premium Member My Past Love
My late wife has told me; It was so easy to fall in love with me? My late love; I saw a glimpse, And thought She was a shiny thing! My late love was shown my scars, When suddenly It was easy to leave. My late love taught me; Her desire was being left behind! What if this amazement of...

Life As I Sip My French Viognier
Life as I Sip My French Viognier With an Indy Blues melody softly playing behind me, I relax on my outdoor couch, tired legs stretched out, After a brutal uphill hike earlier this windy day. A cold glass of french viognier at my lips, As I sip slowly, listening to the myriad bird calls. Yes, retirement certainly agrees with...

Unraveled
I've been waiting for you for quite a while Though when you resurfaced I was unable to smile I was tangled up in a web of lies with the one I needed to say goodbye His grip was strong as he held me tight Blinding me; I could not see your light The day arrived when I came to my senses Letting...

Premium Member Past Love Letters
How many lovers Pen in hand Sat on this park bench Inspired by the kiss of this same sun Enjoying a breathtaking moment In spite of their heavy heart Writing a love letter to their beloved Separated for any number of reasons Obligation, tragedy or even war When I close my eyes I could be in any era Today we email, tweet or text But back when...

Past Love
Why can't you love me when I love you? Why couldn't you be there for me when I needed you? Why couldn't you have just been okay? Why did you cheat on me that day? Why can't we make everything go away? Why can't we sit along that beautiful bay? Why on that day, did you take our love away? Why couldn't you...

Premium Member Past Love
When I see him standing there, My heart starts to ruthlessly pounding I decide to say a silent prayer Asking God for His expedient blessing Thoughts of our time together Create pictures inside my mind But I refuse to grow bitter Because I know love is blind The memories quiet my dreams Of all that might have been with him True love isn’t all that...

Past Love
A cold day as this reminds me of the good old days; when we were together, holding hands and kissing nights away. Now on a cold day like this one that chills my bones; I wonder where you're at. On the sat-covered streets where the bare-feet freeze as they carve pathways, through an already paved road; they smile and hold each...
