Colors

Your lips are as red as the purest rose
Eyes green as the evergreen forest
Hair as golden as a sunflower glowing in the sun

The night sky black as sin
The oceans so royally blue
Sand so white it would shame the purest soul

The velvet that she wears, its color so elegant and purple
That shirt he wears, oh so drearily grey
A dress I see, so devilishly pink

These colors and more flash by
So vivid and grandiose
They nurture my eyes
and give them reason to be

Haiku of ages

Swiftly running through
the garden of lost ages
never turning back

Mannequin

You stand there pale and cold as frost
I'm on my knees, warm and flush
Pouring my heart and soul out to you
Confessing the many years of my love for you
Yet you stand there frozen in an unsympathetic daze
Not caring for one word that I give willingly to you
"What are you?" I ask when you don't respond
How could you forsake my feelings and just stand there in devilish silence?
Not a word comes from your mouth as I shout in your face
You stand still and steadfast as though I have become some invisible entity
Stuck in that pose of antipathy
You wear those clothes as if...
as if...
You were not a man
But some doll
A mannequin of sorts
I stop in reazisation and you walk away
No sound coming from your feet as they hit the ground
The color faded from your figure
Looking as if you were not breathing at all
I see now that I was a fool
to ever fall in love with you
You were never the man of my dreams
Just the mannequin of my nightmares
Someone who doesn't care for the world or anyone in it
A lifeless vessel set on this earth to tear me asunder

Death of Beauty

This is the death of romance

Of sweet uncensored love

passionate kisses and warm embraces

of gentle touching and nights of holding each other tight

sweet words and silent gazing into each other’s eyes

 

This is the death of imagination

Of scaly purple dragons

beautiful scenes and glistening things

in the depths of one’s mind

of abstracts, constructs, life-forms, and views none of the likes you have ever seen

gazing into a creation made by one or many

 

This is the death of writing

of sonnets written by diligent hands

epic stories of the ever triumphant hero

going against all odds

of limericks so rude and comical

Books written by creative minds

words flowing from hand to page

 

This is the death of music

of melodious notes rising from glorious instruments

glorious voices singing versus so fiercely

of the lyrics so stable and black on the page of white

a blazing glory of evocative rhythms and sounds

 

This is the death of nature

of beautiful willows swaying so gently in the breeze

the red rose so elegant in all its regal glory

of fields of daisies and orchards of apples

cherry blossoms so evocative with their unique pink shade

 

This is the death of life

of newborns so innocent and picturesque

the children parents so hold dear to them

of men and women, who share such love for each other

the animals, such glorious creatures they are

 

But most importantly, this is the death of beauty

of the romance we so tenderly give

imagination so astonishing and vast

of the writing we all love and cherish

music so harmonious and emotional

of nature with its many surprises and mysteries

Life, the one thing that we all hold dear

This is the death of all these things

The end of all that we have worked so hard to achieve

The death of all things beautiful

 

Crimson Arrow of Love

Who shot that crimson arrow?
That pierced deep into my breast
Touched my heart and took my head for a spin

Au revoir to all direction
for cloud nine has me tight
within it's wondrous grasp

I don't know where I am
What I see, hear, or even what I know
Because all I think is...

You

Your delicate touch
Everlasting kiss, and dazzling personality
Your face glows like stars in the heavens
Hair flowing so gracefully in the soft wind
Your soft silky skin, makes me melt as I touch
The taste of your luscious lips as red as a blooming rose
As I hold you close I smell the exotic fragrance that is yours

You enrapture all my sense love
You have me caught in your dazzling stare
I've turned not to stone but a melted pool of love for you
Your siren like song pulls me in to
Not a talon filled grasp but a tender and warm embrace

You are so much to me
As I hope I am to you
The world, nor sun, nor the Milky Way galaxy
Can encompass my feelings for you

How long was I lost
before I found your dazzling light?
How long was I waiting
before you appeared before me?
How much pain have I suffered
before you found your way into my heart?

Do you ever think when laying all alone
What the future could hold for us?
How far we can reach in to the sky?
Is it possible to touch the moon?
Or one of the many glimmering stars
that bedazzle the midnight sky?

By binding us into this relationship
I give you all my trust
My never ending care
My warm embrace
My ever flowing love
I give you everything

As this poem keeps on going
As the seconds fly by
As the hours pass
As the year creeps by
My fondness grows for you
More and more every day
Not a moment passes that
My feelings for you do not grow stronger

I could let this poem
go on forever till infinity
Just like my feelings do
Just like the endless grains of time
To show you how much...

How much I think of you
How much I care for you
How far my gentle hands will reach
Mow much I long to say those three sacred words to you

So who shot that crimson arrow
The pierced straight through my breast
Touched my heart and took my head for a spin
It now weighs heavy on my heart
This feeling that I must express
How can I just say it in a few words?
Silly me, I know just what to say
Three words. Three sweet simple, yet powerful words
That carry across mounts
Part waters and influence many
The three words that can bring joy into your life
Three words...
I
love
you

Love

Waves of love
That reach across time
And even the infinite plane of space
Are the most precious kind
That two persons can have for each other

For they have the power
To change the world
To connect to one another
To leap across mountains
To endure the most tempting sin

For this is love in it's truest form
Love that knows no boundaries
Love that knows no gender
Love that knows no distance

Formal Apology Poem

I'm sorry for the things
That I have said and done
I say things without thinking
how they could harm you so

I have no excuse for what
I said to you
No arguments or little sayings
There is nothing else but this to say

I'm sorry for how rude I was
I hope you can forgive
My insensitivity which shot
straight through your feelings
My rude and ignorant mouth
For ever uttering such words
My incompetent brain
for not thinking before I speak

You are such a wonderful friend
And I cherish you in my heart
As I do all of my dearest friends
and would never want to hurt you
But fact is I have and now I have learned
So I am sorry my dear friend
Not once, not twice, and not three times
But I am as sorry as the grains of sand are innumerable.
As sorry as far as the eye can see
As sorry as the universe stretches on forever
I am sorry, please accept this apology poem as a token of our friendship
May it last for eternity.
