Single moments
Shielded in time
Caressed by starlight
Trapped and tossed
In an endless sun’s
Cosmic breath
Days of longing
Nights of need
Mornings of sorrow
Begat by years
And years
Of suffering
These things never change
They are the past
Dreary and damasque
Yet yielding to the light
And showing lessons one
Ought to have learned.

I miss the days when nothing was wrong
The times when we could sing our song
I miss the nights we wont admit
When we cried and hugged and laughed a bit.
I shall ever regard you as the best
Even if it’s me you now detest.
A letter and tweets are all I have now
Pathetic? Probably, but my confidence is cowed.
You were my rock, my friend, my brother
You could bring laughter frothing forth like no other.
You were the Roger to my Mark
You kept away hunger and cold in the dark
I was a fool, selfish and brazen
I couldn’t see the toll i was taking
Chagrin and remorse fill my waking hours
The spice of life, for me, is left bitter and sour
So if this is farewell, as you say it must be
Then know that I’m sorry, but glad you can be free.

Blank is the meter of my successes
Gone is the raw spirit of my childhood
Now payment is due for my transgressions
The present is bleak, The future stays blue
Buried ‘neath the weight of expectation
Suffocated, it seems, by my own dreams
Afraid to move, stuck with hesitation
The heaviest heart corrupts ev’rything.

The heart that I once had cannot withstand
Another breaking, love for the taking
A man cannot know the pains my heart has
Without being shattered like so much glass.
Betrayal and lies, love searing mine eyes
Feelings I despise, that you recognize.
I weep for you, friend, that you have suffered
I know the sting of untruth all too well
But one cannot allow darkness to win
Lest your soul become numb and unfeeling.
You speak of my soul, as though you are wise?
You know nothing of my endless anguish.
Imagine your heart ripped from your own chest
Imagine your lungs unable to breathe
Ev’ry happiness that I’ve ever known
Was used as bait to lure me to my doom
I have no heart, no soul left for mourning
I gave up my feelings for a cold life
I know not what to say, so I’ll leave you.
But know this: love does not give up, my friend.

Those who love will learn to cry
Those who live will learn to die
He who is true will finally see
She who is honest will set herself free
The hearts that are strong are broken most often
The hearts that are weak are too hard to soften
I love you, I cry
I live for you, I die
I lie so I’m blind
When I’m honest, you leave me behind
My heart is broken and has been before
But I will never break yours to even the score

A true treasure is a Friend you can keep
One who knows you when you laugh or weep
A companion you know you will have for life
A soul who can carry you through the strife
A real gem is knowing youre loved
Certainty beyond doubt like a sign from above
And, indeed, loving in return
Giving the gift which all beings yearn
Vast riches are supplied by those who truly care
The select few around you that will always be there
You never know when one will come along
But once one does, it never feels wrong

You know the feeling you get
Looking at another
Butterflies and bumblebees
Set your heart aflutter
You think of nothing else for days
The thoughts consume your soul
You dream that one day will finally come
When your half become your whole
I only know the feeling that comes
When someone drags you under
Leads you on and feeds you lies
And rips your heart asunder
I am familiar with the measurements of pain
The wonder that is heartbreak
Knowing the torturous path that awaits me
All the suffering I have yet to take

This rapidly ascending chaos spreads.
The house of cards I have built will collapse
No equilibrium, No balance, None
Can be reached between life’s play and passion
True, be what you say, but only in part
The balance has always been there, waiting
For one with the courage and wisdom to
Seek it out and call it by name: True Love!
Not this love that common bards chirp about
So blithely that like minds think them all wise
You speak of love, as though it lives and breathes
As real as the stars, the trees, and the leaves
I can’t argue that what I feel is real
But every breath that Love makes me steal
Is less a pleasure and more a burden
Than those that a free man would come to feel
There are diff’rent types of Love, and not all
Require a fall, some are climbs, some are dives
Love of work, love of joy, love of sadness
Love of greatness! Love of ev’rything good
These are not things to be discussed lightly.
Let me think on these matters for a while.
Indeed friend, take your time. I look forward
To our next meeting. Ponder you these thoughts.

A brief Encounter
A chance meeting of Like Minds
They discuss their lives
They seem to do well
These two hearts beating soundly
Across miles of time
Nights spent together
One more special than the rest
A timely absence
Futures are Discussed
How will the two’s tale conclude?
No one is alone.
