Forgetting
Now comes the last goodbyes
The longing is no longer there
The sighing ceased and dry the eyes
Hearts now are free from love and care.
Words have emptied of their sweetness
Gazes are far and never meet
Blank looks that all speak of sadness
The promised future we now forfeit.
The stage is set for the forgetting
All things must end with time someday
Release the past with all forgiving
We tried to love but it's gone away.

Genuine Apology
Promises on bended knees
Sweet loving words to hear
Do not bring marriage bliss
Nor make the bond more dear.
Diamonds on some rings
Dinners by candlelight
Red roses, wine, and things
Do not make infidelity right.
Diversions from the Mrs
By a husband gone astray
Will soon blow up her fuses
Apologies wasted away.
Actions must prove sincerity
And commitment with no lies
Forgiveness demanding change
Without it, that's compromise.

Tragedy of Presumption
One cannot presume what the other is thinking
Nor can one give motives behind a poem
Unless in laser-like mind reading
One, like a Superman, by miracle has become.
Such is the tragedy of presumption
In the absence of facts comes a conclusion
There's frailty of judgment, no other option
But a muddled view of wrong perception.
Still as writers, our truth we declare
Unmindful of those who try to stifle
Our words and the passion that is there
The enjoyment in poetry, who dares to ruffle?

Seriously...Poetry
Most publishers would wish
That those who indulge in the literary
Utilize correct English
Considered seriously...poetry.
So refrain from 'u' when meaning 'you'
Never use 'gonna' for 'going to'
Specially never 'ma' for 'my'
And don't write 'wanna' for 'want to'.
And for those who think that they're smart,
Who lace their poems with curses
They show little respect for the art
With inadequate language in their verses.

Abandoned and Decayed
Abandoned and decayed
Springfield lunatic asylum
It used to be where she laid
It used to be her home.
Ghosts of her childhood past
Still scream in Anger there
But silence the sounds, she must!
Or they might incarcerate her.
Shhhh! Do you hear her beating heart?
Fear does not make a sound!
Can you touch the Pain she imparts?
In rage all her Hurt can be found.
Abandoned and decayed
Who found solace in the dark
What a price for her life she paid!
Such a broken Soul there to mark!

Just What Do You Really Think Of Love?
Just what do you really think of Love?
Not the heartache nor the sleepless nights,
Nor the dreamy songs and stars above,
Nor a moment's bliss of enchanting sights.
For Love is more than fleeting romance
Lasting through the passing of seasons,
Enduring the storms and the tests of Chance,
Sown on Caring and deep Affection.
True Love like gold will never tarnish.
A rare gem, it's value is priceless.
Life is meaningless with none to cherish
And to find true Love... that's Happiness!

Boundless Love
My heart's forever grateful
For in my life I found
A love so true and faithful
Intense and without bounds.
Spanning time and distance,
So free and unconfined,
Pure and tender sweet romance,
No other love I'll find.
Whatever cost it takes
My boundless love will be
A promise I won't break
You are the one for me.
And when my life is over,
With my last breath I'll say:
'I love you, just remember -
For you my love will stay! '

Self-Righteousness
Self-righteousness blinds the Proud
Envelops the unbelieving like a shroud
Self is exalted and all else is corrupt
Nothing of purity will ever be enough.
Self-righteousness will point fingers
Dutifully record the faults of others
Forgetting that three fingers point back
Cannot know the need for grace they lack.
Self-righteous people sneer like the Pharisee
They look at the Self elevated in piety
Excellently graded and marked in perfection
God cannot touch them in their Self adoration.

Because I Love You
Because I love you
I have to say goodbye,
My sadness is heavy
As tears flow from my eyes.
I want you to be happy
And to have all the best,
But I'm setting you free
For I love you my Dearest.
Your demands I can't meet -
So with your expectations,
Now I choose my retreat
And give your liberation.
If we stay we'll both suffer
And vex each one to death,

Love Story
Shall I then close this book
That I had waited for so long
Forgo the years that it took
To finally find where I belong?
Shall I then turn my back now
As these pages live to tell
You are the reason here somehow
For coming home, all is well
I touch our dream with a sigh
And all of me goes bravely on
To reach that rainbow in the sky
Fight for this love, head on.
Giving up would be like dying
No purpose left for me to stay
To lose you, there is no more living
No words to read, no words to say.
