Failing to touch
So many words left unspoken
Failure to touch
Your heart, like distant coasts
Unknown
Only ventured in the letters
It’s never enough
Failing to love, to be remembered

Abandoned Years and Lost Futures
Vivid dreams of days long past, bringing me to tears
Memories of carefree play, bursting with good cheer
Memories of myself, always standing to the side
Lost opportunities
Lost my inner child
Declining to take part
Now I’m all alone with my closely guarded heart
Anti Muse
I hesitate, eyes fixed on the empty page
Motivation
Passion gone away
Trading blows with heavy silence
War inside
Breaking the alliance
My eyes cast within
Searching for a muse in muted oblivion
Timidity
Small offerings, left at the door
A visit from the stray
Often caught in glimpses
Never to be tamed
Nameless, unfamiliar to touch
The alleyway wanderer, strolling by at dusk
Trust, too seldom on display
Just looking for a place to get out of the rain
Memories in the Cellar
Memories are vicious things
Poison barbed and bitter
Whether good or bad, for the worse more oft than better
Letters written in the past
Outlets for emotions and a way to make them last
Some passing, some strengthening like wine
Growing more complex
Having great effect on mind
My cellar full of poems
A cool, dark place for me where I can be alone
Wake Me
I look ever to tomorrow in hopes of better days
I’m often proven foolish
They all turn out the same
Shame and shattered hopes for me
Always on my own
I don’t know a better way
Pain is all I’m shown
Loan me something new
I sorely need a break
Make me someone else
There’s little more that I can take…
Wake me up
Please be my better day
