The Quiet



He came by last April
After the happiness and the thrill
He came and waited till
Morning to leave , what a bitter pill


The quiet told me nothing
When what I needed was something ,
The acknowledgement of my existence- anything
He kept me from understanding

Quiet invited friends over including despair
I'd sit all alone at the topmost stair
Nothing else to do , they would all stare
Since we are no longer a pair

Quiet did something I did not expect
All's well ends well I suspect
Why , even joy can infect
One with lost hope and courage perfect

Quiet visited me in April
But packed his bags this May
I am glad he will no longer stay
In my way .

Faint Ink

Every day  apart
Is a new start
For beauty, for art 

The fainter the words 
Is a small reward

Memories un-seamed

Apart is where we are
A heart in the dark
Dart these piercing pangs



Though far you seem
I will remain gleam
Till we are one, team

There is a faint hope
It isn't too hard to cope
To remain stout as the pope

Faded Ink
The subtle kiss
That no one sees

For the faint-hearted
For the brokenhearted
For the  departed

And the rest ...

How lovely.

How lovely , it would be again
If you and I
A pair
Maybe I was hasty
Maybe I was proud
Maybe I was scared.

Ive tried to mend my broken heart
My heart was fried
My blood was tested
Yes , I am still positively
In love with you (results show)
Maybe loving and forgetting
Isn't a cliche
Maybe it just means
I'm human
I'm a woman
And you are a man
So in an evening in December
I sit and think
Oh , how lovely
It would be
If you and I
Were loved again.

This voice

These days without you
So slow
Since I last saw you shine
In your eyes
To wake the roots of my heart
Growing
Beneath the roof of my heart
Looking for you in a window
No one
My heart seeks you
Wanting to hear music
It calls your name
Is says :
Come back to me , and save my heart
My home lies in your heart
So , I am lost you see
Safe is where I will find you
Beneath the roof of my dreaming
Where it is a daydream
Where the sun shines gentle and bright
The morning light the twilight shadow
The whisper of the leaves
The shadow that follows me everywhere
I have no doubts , it's calling out now
When are you coming?
I get weaker and weaker
Seek me out and make me stronger.

Where there is Love

Can miles really separate you from another?
If you love them ,
Aren't you already there
Can people really change your opinion
If you love them , don't you already know them?
It is only in the agony of parting
Do we look into the very depths of love
The bonds of friendship , love or blood ties
The reason it hurts to say goodbye
Is because souls are connected
An irreversible event
I am here to tell you , today , now , at the present
For the future , for what we want to be
Or what we will be
That every parting , sorrow and disagreement
Will be a form of death
Every hug , every kiss , every kind word
Will be a from of heaven
Ive learnt the hard way that things are not
What they are
Love can hurt so badly
Tales will end sadly
But where there is love
There is hope.
And in that hope , I hold on.

I Know Not Why I Love

I know not why , I love him
I know not how , I do
Of love , of life and of death
Things I know not of

My empty sighs are quick
Became a cliche
My empty hopes are slowly
Fading away

Well isn't that poetic
An unrequited love affair
Aha! Soon there will be talk
Of goodbyes and of forgetting

There is no forgetting him
This isn't a tragedy
It's worse
A life lead without love

There is no other
My heart closed the door
Threw away the key
What else? Who knows

There is no forgetting you
There is no other
In my confusion
I curse my fate.
