So black
So blue
You know that feeling
Don't know what to do

You sit at the desk
Looking out
Looking in
Asking , why can't I win

Black is the night
That my midnight blues
Haunt

Blue is the heart
Broken into a thousand
pieces

So are the memories
That lay black as death
While love ceases

Black are the days past
But the blues live on
they last and last

So be blessed my blues
Black be the rules

When I look out my window
It all seems so cruel
Upon the front door was the word love.

Within the greeting card, I gifted you.
Was the word love.

Within the poem written to you.
Was the word love.

But more than anything.
Within my eyes was nothing but love for you.

So sweet, so true.
I truly do love you.
You married to a twin.
If given a chance?
Would you sleep with that twin?

Check yourself?
Check your worth and honesty.
It will tell you a lot about yourself.

One might say no.
One might say yes.
But in the end, you're hurting your spouse's feelings.

Check within.
Check your fantasies.
Sometimes, it's better to leave it as a dream.

Yes, a dream untold.

I'm a browning leaf
Caught in an eternal autumn
Watching as the sun
Gently strokes the ripening fruits.
The thicket blocks the rays
And I just watch alone
As spring rolls on by
Without me

In brief breaks
of my isolation
I fit in all the words
I did not have the
opportunity to share.

And just like that,
I spend the rest
of my isolation
wishing I had
stayed quiet
instead.

He awakened my eyes to an unrivalled love,
Insomnia grips me,
I stare at him,
Lovingly,
Intoxicated by his very being.
In that moment,
I never thought I'd ever have to watch him,
leaving.

Life is mostly a gap between expectation and reality and our constant efforts to try and bridge this gap...these two meet once in a while but mostly they tend not to see eye to eye.
