To All A Heart
To all a heart
For a hearts word
She is all to beauty
That I could write
It pains my dreams so much
That they are forlorn
Such thoughts I hold
For such love not be
To all a heart
A tear shall fall
How sad it becomes
A love destitute
However kind, caring
It is left alone, alone
To fade into nothingness
For al a heart
For all it could speak
No words serve justice
To any such beauty

Partings Sorrow
Parting is a sorrow
Of which I pray we never know
For your company, your grace
Is one I wish to know forever
I’d enjoy your laughter
Filling the halls of my memories
And your smile a portrait
In the gallery of my life
No, I would not wish we part
To lose this love, forget it
I want for years to pass
And that we remain oblivious
Of partings sorrow
That which I pray we never know

Resolute
Resolute
~
steady and unchanging
this is a heart of love
worn high upon shoulder
as a badge of the soul
there for the world
and every soul soul to see
time has been indifferent
wounded and healed
scarred and kissed
yet it remains in place
it beats on regardless
a heart of love forever more
steady and unchanging
now it has a name to call
a love to grow into
this is a heart
resolute

Hidden Chapters
pieces of our story
waiting to be written
lay hidden in tomorrows
in places were yet to see
and the things still to do
events unfolding, reveal
so that we find in time
all that we will need
search and you shall find
the pieces to complete
yesterdays and today's
parts of our story
hidden away
together we search
together we find
together we live our lives
one hidden chapter
at a time

More Than beautiful
You are as I find
More beautiful to my heart
More beautiful to my eyes
Than I could ever speak
I fear in no uncertain terms
My heart is undone
And it is to you I dream
Of a life’s fulfilment
Yours is a beauty undying
Finer than any wine
More beautiful than any flower
It is in your eyes and smile
It is in the way you talk
Your kindness to others
You are as I find
More than beautiful

Resilient love
Resilient love
~
this will not falter
this will not end
this will stand the tests
whatever they may bring
two hearts sharing a dream
a feeling beyond pretty words
that paint the world beautiful
no this is more than that
this is strength unbound
this is tomorrow and the day after
this is a thought growing
this will never break
this will not end
this is eternal
a love forever
resilient

Happy, finally
Happy, finally
~
Happy, finally
Now in a better situation
Romantically linked
Smiling like an addict
Slightly paranoid
Protective of this feeling
Counting the luck
Praying it wont change
There is no reason
No doubts say otherwise
Trust is instilled
Full faith into another
How magic love is
To switch the mind set
Smiling like an addict
High on its fix
Happy finally
Romantically linked

Words and Messages
It started with a word
You wrote it to me
Began an inspired read
Gave to the night poetry
And the beauty found
A reflection of you
A line penned from the heart
Speaks volumes in itself
Quiet little words
Paint a new vibrant world
Unfamiliar and beautiful
And then it’s the same
As though known before
You wrote it to me
A single line began it all
Words and messages
You had me at hello

Beautifully unrequited
You do not love me
This I sadly know
Yet still I love you
Beautifully unrequited
In your absence
My love does not relent
However long its been
A day, a week or more
Since we last met
I remember your spirit
Your beautiful face
How wonderful you are
I embrace this memory
As I would embrace you
Only you do not love me
And this I sadly know
Is this love to forever be
Beautifully unrequited

Cold night
Cold night
~
Silence creeps in
With a cold hand
Shakes up the room
Leaving thoughts lonely
Whispers in the dark
Just an imagination
To quick to sleep
Writing words on paper
Lyrics of a poem singing
Tired eyes look down
Unable to sleep
The unconscious
Talking to the conscious
A conversation mimicking
The default reality
There is no escaping
Silence crept in
With the coldest hand
