Amour | Ajise Vincent - A Poetry Website Featuring Poems by Contemporary Poets

Amour | Ajise Vincent

Tonight, I’ll pour out my inky passion
on these thirsty pages of love
so they can convey my emotion
to the core of your thought.
Tonight, let me go back to time immemorial
and chew on the reminiscent of your smile
that inspired my heart crust
and made me a persona of sweet tingles.
Tonight, let me stare into oblivion
wishing I could capture the sky
and pluck a emollient star
to be presented to you anytime you made a wish.
Love, I am baptised by your care.
soaked by your understanding.
for you gave me your heartbeat
when I cracked mine on the rock of selfishness.
Lo! Like the law of demand,
as the price of time fades
my quantity for you basks higher.
Let us forever be in affection.
soar the mercies of peace with caution.
Till death do us path. No division.

Tomorrow | Edna Faulkner

Memories are the mainstay of old age
When your friend through life has passed away
Nothing can replace the touch, the smile, the
understanding that helps you through the day
How I miss the unspoken feelings of love and care
that say I’m here and you are not alone
I’m like an alien in a familiar world
looking on but feeling I’m not there
Time passes by – slowly by day but quickly by year
not doing anything to ease the loneliness and pain
I fill my days as best I can and smile and laugh
so no-one knows sometimes I feel insane!
They say it is best to have loved and lost, how do they know
It is thirteen years of heartache and sorrow
when oh when will it be less – they always say tomorrow
TOMORROW NEVER COMES!!!

Her Own Worst Enemy | Daniel Klawitter - A Poetry Website Featuring Poems by Contemporary Poets

Her Own Worst Enemy | Daniel Klawitter

Ah, now I see
how the best & the worst
fills the same mortal cup.
No use crying over
spilled blessings
or the curse of vicious circles.
The geometry of my
many-chambered heart
contains the strangest angles.
My best intentions
are a tangle of angels—
fallen and exalted.
Halt! Who goes there?
Oh, it’s just me.
My doppelganger of stealth-
climbing the stairs:
I have stranger danger
towards myself.
