I am haunted:
Not by poltergeist,
but by my unlived lives.
Parallel universes
won't ever speak,
they took an oath
to keep from me.
I have words and voices
humming in my head
that will never be met
outside of my bed.
I have to accept
I cannot have it all,
I have to accept
knowing nothing at all.

I am just a mirror
You see in me
A reflection of
What is in you.
If you are love
I am love.
If you are bitter
I am bitter.
If you are bliss
I am bliss.
If you are pain
I am pain.
I am purely a reflection
Of you
I am just a clean mirror
You see in me
What you are in you.

I wait for the sun to set
I wait for the darkness
To envelop the whole sky
I wait for the stars to come out
I long to fall asleep
That’s the only way
I get to see you Indeed

i don't see the stars in your eyes anymore, they look dull, sad—empty even.

i don't see the fire in your eyes anymore, they burned out and there was nothing left but darkness.

i don't see the life in your eyes anymore, they seem lifeless and full of agony.

i have always loved your eyes, for they unvail who you are and what you feel. i have always loved seeing the ocean in your eyes that drowns me and hypnotizes me; you have changed.
—g.l
a poem i wrote while looking at the mirror.
Silently I whisper your name
As the tears fall upon my face
You don't know how much I hurt
My heart feels it's gonna burst



Crying tears wash my soul
For the love with depths untold
You were my grace, my one true love
An Angel sent from above



I love you now as I did then
Though nothing can bring you back again
What we had is now no more
We both landed on different shores



When you left with him upon that day
You tear my heart away
Great sadness overtook my life
Cutting me like a knife



Now I live each day in Hell
The home in which we had both dwelled
Now alone I am
Just waiting for the end



I love you now as I did then
Though nothing can bring you back again
What we had is now no more
We both landed on different shores
This isn’t a case
Of writers block
Tides have turned
The winds have stopped
Unread poems
Stacks stuck at home
Unposted unknown
Dear Hellopoetry
You’re moving to slow

All my thoughts
Demand to rhyme
Contemplating
Line by line
My muse insist
What evil is this
This download of
Poetic upheaval

With a cyber grip
Eliot control the list
Where approval declines
Poetically confined
Dear Hellopoetry
Pleases
Toll the line!
Traveler Tim
I was chaos in delicate lace,
in satin and taffeta; a pretty face
what they see is what I let
a peek behind; they may regret.

I was chaos in delicate lace,
with smiles charming--- tears no trace
lips with chapstick; smudge on side
nothing but a breathless ride.

I was chaos in delicate lace,
disarray with class and taste
I reek of Chanel and all things sweet,
nothing but a foul treat.

I was chaos in delicate lace,
only but a pretty face
a troubled heart and restless mind,
a woman whose love is always blind.
This one is inspired by my favourite line from the book I'm currently reading.
