He was but a whisper.
Not knowing that human tears
Could drown the beauty of a quiet face,
he walked cold and ghostlike,
Among other men a statue

Left alone,
locked in the past.
Forgotten friendships
buried,
Never meant to last.
Left alone
Time standing still
Unforeseen,
this bitter pill.
Left alone,
The sky is gray
It wasn't meant . . .

Nature drifts dreamily into slumber.
Dry leaves crackle,
Crushing into soft, still earth.
Sunset's rich hues
Spatter the blue horizon.
The crisp chill of night
Overtakes the warmth . . .

I know how the prisoner feels
When he's locked up in the pen.
I feel the longing in his soul
To be outside again.
I see the sag of his shoulders
As he sits there reminiscing,
And . . .

At first, the sun was shining.
Its warmth encased my head,
But gray clouds appeared
And without warning
My heart grew cold.
I watched your retreating back
And wondered when . . .

In just a moment
I knew---But I was lost in your eyes
So I said it didn't matter,
That you were never mine to keep.
I basked in the heaven of your smile
Ignoring the hell in my heart, . . .

I look to you
As hot tears hit the ground.
You reach out to me
And true love is found
Not by word
Or even gesture.
Just by your mere presence.

I almost died today
When I woke up alone
for the first time in our empty bed
And realized that it was truly over.
I lay on my back
with tears dripping into my ears
while in utter despair
I willed . . .

Lonely teardrops
snake down her cheeks
as she sits alone in a crowd
breaking down the barriers
between life and death
while watching her life's blood
drip slowly down a rusty drainpipe
She . . .

I see the clouds rolling in.
Today it looks like rain,
But I'm ready for a downpour
Today I want to feel the pain.
Is it cold and dark where you are?
Do your own eyes drizzle tears?
Has losing . . .

Would you mind if I borrowed your dream?
Somebody stepped on mine
And the broken pieces crumble
and scatter more with the passage of time.
And could I maybe stand in your shoes
And try to feel . . .

I am reposting this one because I just can't seem to get anyone to read it. I am hoping the third time truly is the charm
I cried a tear this morning
When I woke and you weren't there . . .

This is a poem that I just couldn't finish. I started it a long time ago and don't remember what my original intent was. I feel it needs more though, so I am putting it out here for . . .

I miss the way things used to be
When our world was simply you and me.
And I could show the love I now must hide
the days when my tears were still uncried
I miss the days when we were young and . . .

How could I not love you When together we're the perfect blend, And long before we were born You were already my best friend?
Though I know a lot of pretty words, There are none that can convey The . . .

My best friend wrote this and gave me permission to publish it here. She has a Gather page, Wendy W. but doesn't visit too often. It is ironic because she is the one who led me . . .

I can't believe you let me down again.
I thought you loved me, or at least I was your friend.
Nothing is ever perfect, but I didn't expect this pain,
Didn't expect you'd drown my heart . . .

Haven't slept in several nights. Just been sitting here in my blue bedroom, Slurping cups of cold coffee, Chain-smoking stale cigarettes. And thinking about Sonya.
She came to me again that night, Tear . . .

I live now only in dreams of reality. Spinning shades of deep red and metallic gray, I wallow in the memory of your scent. As I stick out my tongue and taste you on my lips, In fantasy you taste me too . . .
