Unrequited.

When aΒ smile,
portrayed asΒ guise of fire,
rusts as your presence departs…

When aΒ caress,
lingeredΒ withΒ twilight glow,
is but a shadowΒ trailing
scarlet threads…

When a love, unreturned,
plays master calloused
to a fading hope…

Set aΒ seal upon shallow heart,
you whom my soul desires,
and let me be released.Β

Melancholia.

Heed the echosΒ of a heartache,
anguished sear ofΒ reverie.
FeelΒ itsΒ scalp bleedΒ downΒ her face,
scathingΒ tears ofΒ memories.
See theΒ eyes that once freelyΒ smiled
fadingΒ with defeat.
As silent fields in which she lies
drift awayΒ withΒ night’s conceit.

The Tearing.

I
weep
under the
silentΒ shadows
of a thoughtΒ unborn.
Ardent flames, itsΒ lingeringΒ kiss,
bittersweet sigh of a witheringΒ embrace.
A mindΒ deceiving, itsΒ essence departing,
threadbare wishes abandonedΒ within
the remains of a waningΒ heart –
a heart entrustedΒ to you
to love.
