Do you hear the fall of phantom feetFollowing as you walk alone?And back down the empty streetDo you hear a soft groan?In shadows it hidesEver so near Behind youAlways: Fear!
The plane roars - engines deafening all Tears, joys, partings at the last gateComfort shared in your warm arms Calm my fast beating heart Kiss my cold lips quickFeelings are deepLove’s not lost Have faith
Wait
Mother Earth is having hot flashes.Sobbing rivers of glacial tears,Night sweats dampen her body.Fertility waning;Irate, she storms off,Pleading with us:"Can't you just let mebe?"
Day by day madness steals her from meBright thinking gives way to chaosBattles rage within her headI see but cannot KnowSchizophreniaPlease let her goSend her backPlease GodPlease
My Heartache continues as I dream.Dream of good friends long lost to me.Visions of the lost haunt me.But that is in the past.I must carry on.I must forget.But I can't.It hurts.Help.
Poems with forty-five syllablesChallenge a good poet each time.With a well-thought out plan andAn ink pen in his hand,He writes down his words,Sometimes absurd,Striving toFind aRhyme.
The emotional ties are gone now.No longer do these eyes meet yours.Chapped lips have ceased to tremble.Verbal abuse won't work.I know what I'm worth:more than you are.I have needs.I needlove.
Time sweeps a cruel hand around the clockleaving pain outlines in thick chalk.We cry, but the tears departon small butterfly wings;tiny mouths screaming,"Please, God, I needamnesiaof theheart."
Gun is raised over the judge’s headMy foot pressed 'gainst the starting blockHe calls out “Runners ready”I suck in that last breathMy muscles tense upA loud shout: “Set!” Almost thereGunshot GO!
Take the time, enjoy every moment of each precious day that glides past. Grasp the instant forever. Remember, before you ever get a chance to turn around, another one is gone.
