Wishes And Dreams

In The Mirror

Once in a lifetime, desires have asked me to call you, now.
Love is at hand, one last time, for your blessings, I bow.
I am beneath your reach, looking forward to fate.
Eager to love you tonight, your wanting loins await.

Savory tastes are spawning life, with each word I speak.
Unknown to my conscious heart, you are all I seek.
Fortunes tease me with riches of no worth.
To forget you forever, denying me, our time on earth.

I need to know that you will be by my side.
Watching and protecting our interests, where passions aren’t denied.
Reaching into the night, we will suffice our cares.
Loving each other in truth, depleted of our wares.

Truly, there is nothing I can add or take away.
To make me love you any less or lose you for a day.
My thoughts are with you daily, prayers of faith.
My worries are lost with love, an amorous wraith.

Why then, do I dream and cast my love asunder?
All my attention is diverted, to a bitter spell that I’m under.
Hopefully, I will lose nothing for our romantic trial.
Love is all too sweet and I am burned with denial.

What a fool I am but no more, I am only wiser.
I give you back your heart, that you hoard as a miser.
A traitor is in our midst, through your eyes, it’s clearer.
You stare her in the face, daily, in the mirror


Empty Words

Many memories have been lost, I’ve wished to hold you tightly.
Never to forsake you, giving all my love to you, nightly.
There were times I would watch you sleep, only to see your face.
You were so full of dreams, I didn’t deserve you, I had a place.

You loved me, that’s all I’ve ever wanted or needed.
Your encouragement was a godsend, with your confidence, I succeeded.
Days would pass, I cherished each and every kiss.
You challenged my intellect with awe, we professed eternal bliss.

In your past, you were used as a transitional belle.
It was then, I would love you dearly, protecting you well.
You didn’t deserve that, I was to take you away.
I wanted to give you a home, a loving place to stay.

For a while, we were happy, lovers, friends, mates.
Once day, you differed, no reason, opening heaven’s gates.
My angel was fleeing, you didn’t love me, I was lost.
Without you, I became incomplete with a great emotional cost.

Crying never brought you back, it only gave you a reason to cheer.
You were rid of me, I was your stepping stone, your fear.
Wishing, never made it true, that you would hold me.
My love became your resentment, you used it, to scold me.

Words have never described, how that made me feel.
I was filed away in your subconscious, trodden under heel.
You laughed, you smiled, I was your vengeful joke.
Now I am empty, as the loving words you spoke.


Wishes And Dreams

My journey has ended, it has been rewarding.
I’ve learned to love, my memories, the best recording.
The dawn brings me happiness, I see you at night.
You’re not physically here,  but I see a future bright.

Time will reveal, if our departed love, was a mistake.
Love is real now, without you, my heart does ache.
I applaud your desire, to find a future of your own.
Your needs were goals, you had to achieve alone.

Years would provide me with confusion, you were never found.
I still love you and would cry to heaven, you never heard a sound.
I’m not so ignorant, to know, that you’ve married.
It’s been a learning experience, to bear the burden, I’ve carried.

My eyes are open to faith, God answers all prayer.
Even through his eyes, decisions don’t seem fair.
Nevertheless, I live with only half a heart.
You own the other half, a symbol of incomplete art.

I digress now, beating a dead horse to shame.
I will leave your life, hopefully you don’t forget my name.
I’m back in my utopia, humble and safe.
Where heartache is reality and love is my wraith.

I rest softly now, angels, sing me to sleep.
My accomplishments comfort me, even as I weep.
For now, nothing is worse than it seems.
My life is a continuous collage, of wishes and dreams.
