Curdled

My heart ruled my head

Lured, led astray

If I had any clue

How cruel the end would be

A crude duel, no cure

For the pain, like an ulcer within

All I want is to curl up and hide

Now there's no-one left to cuddle

Curdled love

Phases

Sort of inspired by seeing a cradle crescent of the moon, like the one in the picture, on the way back from work last night.


For DBJ, with love, always


****

Lying close to me, enwrapped in my embrace
Your youth and beauty intoxicating
Lending me a little of your life force
Joy of living, irrepressibly bursting forth

But then I wake, and know that it cannot be
My chance to connect with you done and gone
That phase of my life now passed, never will I hold you
Like the new moon in the old moon's arms

Reflections

Reflections in a tarnished mirror
Faded remnants of what used to be
Dreams that love could last forever
Proved, in the end, illusory

When I see my situation
Think of all that's lost and gone
All I feel is resignation
Can't find the spark to carry on

Dark falls like a winter evening
Inevitable as death
All I'm now anticipating
The final heartbeat, my dying breath

Untouchable

Close enough to hear you breathing, still you're a million miles away
My eyes feast upon your beauty, but it's a feast without nutrition
The judgment of the world on what I am, damns me every day
My hopes, my dreams, my wanting, never to come to fruition

And the pain, it eats away inside, hour after sterile hour
Until I beg for death to take me, release me from this vale of tears
Because I know, no hope of love can ever overpower
The knowledge that I've wasted all my years

Wilderness

Wandering all alone
Through a wilderness
Of sleeplessness
A lost soul, a lost boy
Cast adrift by those
Who he thought would love him
How wrong can you be?
Forever is surprisingly short
If you come up with a wrong answer
If they see behind the mask
The reality is too much to bear
All is lost, irrecoverably

****

Love & best wishes to all

Constancy

Every action a deception
Every word a shameless lie
No real love, just affectation
I'm worthless in your eyes

Never mind you made my heart sing
Never mind the vows I've sworn
All that's done and gone means nothing
Except the way that I was born

Despise me and discard me
Relish every tear I cry
Just understand this truly
I'll love you till the day I die

****

Love & best wishes to all

Time

The eggtimer, the grains of sand dripping down, marking the passing days
Never enough, every heartbeat counting down to that moment of oblivion
So much to do, so few are the days allotted to achieve the things that matter
Dichotomy of life, the end contained in the beginning, so little time

****
Love & best wishes to all
