when I awoke from the dream
it was raining in my heart

a dream
she had
of holding hands
into the sunset of our life,
a dream of laying
in chaise lounges
in Portugal after all
our hard work,
a dream
of owning our
forever home
on the sea,
a dream
of walking each other
to our ends-
I grieve for
the dream that
is no more
#vss365 #poetry
our dreams
to be together
are neither
nascent
or promising—
they have lived
within our hearts
for lifetimes and
have died a
quiet death of
lingering
anticipation

the symbiosis would evolve
the pain of apart
becomes too hard to survive
I'd like to believe
it was as perfect as it all seemed
that we wrote a beautiful story
borne of a truly wonderful love
that if the dreams
were just too much
it's because
we couldn't touch

becomes a temptation
only
when direction disappears
as your legs part
in welcome
I seek the silence
where guidance sits
on parted lips
for the moment
I can only see
where light pours
lowering my tongue
to hover
where secrets balance
uncovered
I savor redemption's taste
becomes a temptation
only
when direction disappears
as your legs part
in welcome
I seek the silence
where guidance sits
on parted lips
for the moment
I can only see
where light pours
lowering my tongue
to hover
where secrets balance
uncovered
I savor redemption's taste
Lonely nights~
Every song
Whispers
your name
Every sip
Of whiskey
Does the same

there was a certain
something about him
that sent electricity
through my body
a natural sincerity
between us in
the poetry he wrote
when
I was his muse
and he was mine
drifting away hurts
more than words
can say

A comfort
that can’t be undone
Essence of
the purest love-
Free,
no chains
or shackles
Yet we are
each others key
Eyes wide open
kind of love
~M. Mann

separate rooms
in a chaotic world
spirit seeking
peace and
shelter from
life's storms—
feeling alone
yet safe
being in a place
on this earth
that draws me to it
and feels like home
doesn't mean
I don't love you
