Premium Member The Chaos In Her Heart
If love is... feeling unloved, anxious and starved, give my regards Does the torment of love's hate eliminate pain? If love is trembling lips and sultry eyes, upon them everlasting cries, Charcoal tears that pour What answers are there for these sores Binding spells of the unforgiving way swells She the accuser shames with her bitter blame Aging with, until the bitter end Accusing of his unrequited love Awaits for...

A Soliloquy of Unrequited Love
Written on April 13th 2025 for Sara Jama's Prompt The Cold Embrace of Death Reverberated within the empty chambers of my soul, As I soak my skin in a clawfoot tub, drowning in my sorrows. Daring the waves to wash me away, I lay barricaded in the bathroom with a bottle of Merlot....

Mercy
I beg Have mercy Kill this dream End my misery If you will never choose me, make it clear now Give me something real to mourn If you are destined to break my heart, do it now Give me something real to move past If you will only ever give false hope, discard me now Give me something real to end the cycle Douse the...

Unrequited love
Hey! Can you see that  Sorrow, pain, stress  That darkness like painter ink That echo like abandoned palace That droughts like cursed farm Time is moving slow and slow  Hey! Is that love? Are sure is it, Are you? Sometimes it's doesn't matters  It's not supposed to be real  And You know am in deep sea Am drowning please, help me I just wanna float....

Premium Member Echoes Of The Silent Shore
How can I sever wolf-waves from the selfish sea? I ache to cut the rogue from the relentless flow his crest swelled in high rise on testosterone tide swindles my tease to tame his blue Neptune flame mocking my sun dried bed with unruly despise he rides a white steed in petulant power with the moon I am the passive strand...

Love, what if unrequited
What today weighs light in your life Would one day swell, feel fairly rife, Pages of your life, getting full, Would look ever so beautiful. What seems today unknown to you-- You who has not known what is love-- Would when love sparkles with its hue, Leaving today out of my groove, I feel lost but not of my hope, My...

The Gentle Stare
The sunlight spills across her hair, a river of spun gold, And I, like a moth drawn to a flame it cannot hold, observe her from afar, My gaze, a silent symphony, a melody that never leaves my heart, I wonder, am I allowed to look at her with such a tender, lingering start? Her laughter,...

Gaze Unspoken
Am I allowed to look at her like that? A question soft, a silent plea within. Her kindness pours, a sunbeam warm and bright, Could it be wrong to find such grace a sight? She moves like water, gentle, ever-flowing, My eyes, they follow, a current caught and swayed. Her laugh, a melody, fills all the...

Unrequited Love
The name engraved in my heart Arteries pump a yearning chemical The soul craves his breath Weighing down my every move The mind bound to retention Of intimacy and passion Yet His Heart is translucent His body craves no touch of mine His eyes continue to hold light He remains extant, Like I am no longer a being I am no longer a being Without his...

Unaware; You are the ocean, the earth, the sky,. And I a ship in the bottle Never to touch the water; A bird that cannot fly, Will never know the touch of sky. A wind that cannot lay upon the earth, Caresses only memories of birth. Unaware; You are the Space that holds it all. Each moment of Time, Upon your Breath; Until ...

UNREQUITED LOVE
I could ask you to stay, But there's really nothing to say, I guess we naturally grew apart, But it still hurts in my heart. I tried getting you to notice that I was still there, But you made up your mind And didn't care. No one told me about this pain, Tears have fallen from my eyes like a rain, I'm at the...

Unrequited love
For all those who experience one-sided emotional attachments. Instead of longing and heartache, let's either find someone suitable or seize the day and share our feelings. Unrequited love By Michelle Morris 01/12/2024 She sees him every day The smiles they share are golden But her feelings are deeper than friendship There's unrequited love and hope Sometimes she has these wonderings If...

To Love in Silence
My heart longs deeply, and I am unable to remain unfazed whenever I see you. It’s tragic to think that, aside from the fact that there was never a "you and me," I cannot even hold your hand freely. I am completely unable to call out your name or look straight into your eyes to say: "Whenever I don’t see you, my eyes...

About All the Boys I Never Loved
I once wrote a sonnet for a pointless percussionist. Telling him he is lucky to be getting them at an early age. A fool was I neglecting his nonchalance with my heart. I once wrote a sonnet for a dull director. Telling him he haunts my dreams with his graceful tunes. A fool was I wasting my skill on that...

The Raven: A Date with Death
The Raven: A Date with Death I danced a date a date with Death. He sat me down for tea. In the darkness sat the swirl of infinity. The ringlets 'round his brow did stain the spirits evermore. 'Where do you hail?' he asked in disdain. 'I come from nowhere, yet anywhere, and I'll go there all again.' Death looked...
