Happiness She Deserved Poem


Her love had a hold on him
She gave him her whole being
Sat through his every experience
Loved him without a speck of doubt
No shadow of worry crowded her mind
All she wanted, to be his inspiration
Play the strings of his heartbeat
On the beats of his soul
The difference she made to him
Clearly brought out in his life
He was a riddle she loved to figure out
A puzzle that could not be complete
Until the last piece was put in place
Everything that made sense in his life
Was as simple as her being there
He always wondered
How life would be without her presence
She had cried enough
Knew he was the only one
To give her the happiness
She once deserved

I am Only The Piano Player Poem

I play late into the night alone yet still feeling you
Telling myself I have not left you unaided or lost
I had a chance to love you
Yet my fingers would not let go of the piano
Seeping tunes of wordless music because you are not there
I refuse to let go of the moments that made sense in me
My life so divided and sometimes unnecessarily chaotic
My only excuse for not being there…
I am only the piano player
I am doing just fine getting over this heartache
Wanted to love you like nobody else could love
I set myself on this journey that made me need you so much
Up till now I cannot let the grandness of piano playing be
I chose a piece of instrument with no heart or flesh
With no arms to hold me in the middle of a cold night
A piece of wood that cannot give me sweet words or affection
My only comfort is that I loved you on this piano
It knows our deepest darkest secrets that we dare tell no one
Even the moon shied away knowing ours was an eternal magnetism
Words need not be said when my fingers stopped playing the piano
To be intertwined into yours curled into portions of suppleness
It’s the end of the road for my earth song
Tunes of music played by you fade away because
I am only the piano player

My Desert Song Poem



Embrace me my beloved for I panic when in isolation
Dry desert winds scorch away at my shriveled up heart
Sand has grazed my tender toes that curl to stop the burning
The cactus have pricked my most treasured emotions
I can sense a desert storm forthcoming
Nowhere to escape the sudden death of your memories
My lips have cracked for lack of yours that moistened them
Trembling under this unknown icy chill
Almost bleeding for lack of warm attention from your touch
My chest is caving in to try and send away the haunting ghosts
That is your memory within my soul
My arms have been weakened refusing to hold close another
You are the only safety my heart knew
All I have now
Is this photograph that is the only reminder of your existence
My feet refuse to move away from this place we called home
Knees knocking against each other simply because they can
I am a shadow of myself in the midst of cruelty
Before you I was seeping from the cup of never falling in love
I melted in disdain without your intensifying aphrodisiac words
I crave your presence that kept me sensible and unruffled
It is a sudden wasteland… my heart, my mind, my body, my soul
The last song with keys that have refused to play loud
Keeps replaying in my worn-out consciousness
You need to be back before winter steals away my cold skin
I can only explain it this way, that
You have left a barren region where fertility was
I have become a shell, empty within because I need you so much
Battle fields that have been abandoned is what my world has become
Only falling again when I try to climb up
Out of this misery that has become a daily dose of tranquilizer
I swallowed my pride to surrender to your snuggly arms
I want not to surrender to this throbbing in my chest
All I want is to be alright without your suggestively armored kiss
Temperately I take every impossible footstep towards being alright
This desert will not break my resolve of becoming whole
As terrifying as walking blindly without you
Or the torture of sleeping alone may seem
I have won the war of the fear of losing this love eternally
I have been a broken hearted soul for far too long
I will erase it all
At the end of it all, your heart, soul, flesh will no longer be in mine

Keeping You Warm Poem




I will take that chance you granted me
You will find comfort in my confidence
Waste the night away with me
In the morning dusk
The only thing remaining is us
After haunting me with your strength
I am wretched because of your dear love
Scarred with eternal bliss from your smile
Call me when you are lonely
To hold you on this cold July season
Knowing you will not break my heart
I will treat you with respect
This promise I make to you my love
A single song of my heart’s call
Addicted to your signature mystic beauty
Remaining a nameless longing engraved in Opal
I put both our hearts in an Alabaster box
Your love, the one language I understand
Mine speaks to you as an undertone
Richly deserving the honor
Of gracefully residing within and beside you

Kiss Of Life Poem




Breath into my soul
Save my searching mind
Give in to this moment
Let not love become elusive
Life made me faint
Soiled with dark moments
Pictures become deserted
All alone in this desert
I closed my eyes
To give in to defeat
Strength is long gone
Eye lids slowly shutting
As the voice becomes a sigh
Rescue me
Let me not fade away
Like the quietness of the countryside
I listen to your heart beat
Thumping away slowly, slowly away
Under the cool blue sky
Or next to the slow blue currents
I wonder what you are thinking
Is it our love you reflect on?
