Unrequited

Sleep
Glorious refuge
Hold me forever
Why can't you
Must I wake
I was dreaming
Nothing
It wasn't there
What I want
Is here
But not
It comes to me
In a field of roses
For a moment
Mine
Now no longer
In your reality
It is held
My destruction
My salvation
It doesn't come
In here anymore
My tall tale world
Becoming an empty shell
These pills
Tempting
Eternal Heaven
Eternal Hell
Does it matter
Which one
It's in neither
I must stay
To see
My shadowy Hope
Justified
No
I know better
Shouldn't hope
It willing
Wouldn't stay
Doesn't stay
Retreat
Into secretly me
To keep it
There in
My embrace
My love
My unrequited

    Tis said........."It is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all" ......but then....... but what do they know? I have read all your posted poetry, it is filled with such sadness, masking as it does other feelings. Such passion and heat can only blaze for a short while and then, through a lack of something or someone to consume, it dies. We all want to love.........Ah, such intensity, such vibrance and meaningful life, despoiled at times by a lack of response. As a poet who has loved and lost.........but never been afraid to love again........... COME........

    Walk with me
    in a field of flowing flowers wild
    and swaying, petals coloured and displaying,
    stems nurtured by the hands of the sun
    and washed by the tears of angels praying

    Sit with me
    under the sun drenched green canopy
    of the weeping willow
    Place thy head in my lap
    and with fingers born of swallows wings
    I shall smooth thy troubled brow

    Speak with me
    in quite conversation
    in whispered tones hushed by whistling leaves
    Of, hopes and dreams
    fears and regrets
    loves and loses
    this and that, and nothing at all

    And through it all remember this......

    The gift of love is the greatest thing
    that one can give to another

    Never be afraid to give your love freely
    and without strings attached,
    even if it should not be returned
    Never regret giving it.

    Like freedom, it is one of lifes most precious gifts,
    and as you surrender your heart, be noble not ignoble

    Love, like a seed sown, may flourish unseen
    Sow such seeds graciously and often
    And in time, your life will have love returned in abundance.

    And then....

    Sigh with me
    collectively,
    serenely;
    in pleasure,
    in contentment,
    in happiness,
    in joy,
    in reverence,
    Of...
    the stars dancing in the ebony firmament,
    the words, lines, stanzas, poems, forming
    crystalline hues embedded in the moon.
    Souls caressing in the arms of the willow
    hearts kissing in the womb of the walnut;
    poetry, yes poetry, always poetry,
    written in the emotive womb about.......LOVE

    And thus released,
    enscribe upon life and others the very essence of YOUR LOVE.

    PS....I enjoyed reading all of your posted poetry and I encourage you to write more........but this time with eyes cast afresh upon a blazing and brilliant world, a world full of beauty and magnificence.

    aaaaaaaaaaah unrequited love.... How well I know it... It's really strange the way it can be, it's like the fact that all you have is your dreams makes them so powerful.. If you had the chance to truly know them and love them in the way you wanted to you'd realise that they were human and annoying and boring too but yuh.. I'm as bitter as hell, ignore me, nice write xxx
