Wilting Love

-

The love we had, 
Shone as the brightest star in the night
A tree that relentlessly grew 
into huge oak canopies of delight. 

Not until one night
When an intruder encroached our island of affection, in the middle of the night 
With a text. 

"He loves you", He said
In a room left for wandering
It's paradoxical if the phrase carries similar meaning to me as it used to then. 
The sun is down to set, the sand down the glass

See the heathen I've turned into
I hold onto a wilting faith
For the more nights we spend together
The more strange you become to me!

Footsteps

 "foot steps" a nightmare of fear days darker and nights louder happiness folds under my feet beneath soles sorrow unfolds at every thought peace froths like a bubble  esteem pops   along flights over avenues  left only in the past was i scathed footstep symphonies thoracic drum beats squeals and slams "dare not scream" in between my legs the pains are gone still in the heart and daily meals are pills tears never to dry aches of endless symptoms  of a forever syndrome why me, why you uncle? novemberwordsworth *woes of somber hearts* ©2023

I melt into your weak gaze, sinking to the bottoms of oceans hidden beneath your blue eyes, before the bed gets colder  we disappear far beyond the safety of a closed door.  Under the cotton white over the placid sheets, we shudder off cuddles solve the riddles unsolved, as hosts lost into each other in the moment we burn.  november (wordsworth) *whispers of love* ©2023

Lachrymal Potrait

Our love story begins a time and moment I let you go a day I walk through that back door footsteps marked by trails of driblets feelings over brims of my entrails spilt all around like grains of sand sinking down like sands of time a one way ticket trip to greyscales haunted shadows of our phobias. The wind seems colder out here quite reclessier in your absentia I hold fingers out for a search stroll over tips and nibs of broken pencils  only a brash but not a droplet of ink with ink from a lachrymal fountain I cast lashes and strokes of driblets adroitly tracing your pretty face into a tear stained painting.    Everyday I stand in front of a mirror is a Halloween it's freaky Friday glancing at my own reflectance I see not less than a fierce archer thrilled more than I'm lost in dread and the unprecedented nightmares  to see my other self with own hands tearing down all that we've built  turning everything around me into a world of broken dreams. Now that I've known not
