Through the glass

Through the glass
I can see you
Your lips curve
Into a smile
Makes me happy
Those sunlight bursts
Enveloping others
Without permission
They ogle
As you prance about
Boisterous
Hard to control
Your hair
Flying About
Wild carefree like you
Those lips of yours
Such words they waste
When you talk about
Myriad things
As you tap your feet
Happily restlessly playfully
Against the earth
Stumbling to catch up
With your frantic pace
But I know
How contrary you are
I can almost imagine
Your heartbeats
Calm languid
No sense of purpose
After all, a child like you
Need know no fear
But then I see
I really see
Below the deceiving kohl
Those sad sad eyes...

Trilogy of Unbroken Silence

Since I can't make myself write much these days, here's a poem (actually three) I wrote in the good old days....

Trilogy of Unbroken Silence

1.

I have something to say to you

But I fear that I may not

Be able to say the words aloud

I have something to say to you

But I fear that you have

Hardened your heart against me

I have something to say to you

But I fear that you will

Hear me and not listen

I have something to say to you

But I fear that you will

Tear my heart, bit by bit

I have something to say to you

But I fear that you will

Walk away and never return.

2.

I am sorry

For not loving you

I am sorry

For I broke your heart into pieces

I am sorry

For not being able to trust you

I am sorry

For not telling you what I feel

I am sorry

For I know that one day, I

Will walk away and never return.

3.

Sorry no longer

For the love that I couldn’t give

Because I know now that

Your love was all a lie

Sorry no longer

For breaking your heart

Because I know now that

It’s made of stone

Sorry no longer

For not trusting you

Because I know now that

For you, trust has no meaning

Sorry no longer

For not telling you what I feel

Because I know now that

You never really did listen

Sorry no longer

For walking way, never to return

Because I know now that

You’d never stop me.
