Elliot! Please fix!
Really! This used to such a good place to read and publish.
His eyes, those sapphire forget-me-nots,
blue like my pen’s bleeding heart, I ought
to drown myself in his floral smile
that curls his tulips in classic style

His cheeks a soft rose, fit for a snapshot.
He sprouts hope, blossoming in my thoughts.
I’m in love with this lily of the nile
and his forget-me-not eyes

His soul down to earth, with roots that cannot
be pulled up or contained by a clay ***.
A heart of marigold and mind fertile,
full of wisdom to grow the extra mile.
I love his heart, mind, his smile and whatnot
and his forget-me-not eyes.
A seldom heartbeat echoes
joined only in silence
by two lungs, contracting, expanding, observing what an outside world holds.

A seldom heartbeat echoes
as luscious lust lurks around plush lips
whose  innocence has been clouded by a 'so-called' ******'s touch.

A seldom heartbeat echoes
fueled by romance
pumped through veins of which only cold blood remains
jealous of exposure to feminine frame.

A seldom heartbeat echoes
sped up only by that of long lashes
curved by the hazel stare of hypnotic eyes
perfection from legs and thighs, up to blushing cheeks
a shining smile, could make your day for weeks.

A seldom heartbeat echoes
joined only by an echo of a neighboring heart
whose echoes are echoed
which only time could tear apart.

A seldom heartbeat echoes
whilst butterflies in stomachs roam
and whispers to the neighboring heart
know that you are never going to be alone.
Turned inside out till
My heart was left for dead
All I beleaved , was a false act to me

The betrayal is so hurtful
Yet gives m way the end of I all today
Oh I wish I died back in 2014
Cut from wrist to Elbow
I should be a corpse
Like i am feeling I am now
Walking dead
Heart and soul just turned into
Empty things
It seems to me
the more things change
the more they stay the same.
I wonder how the rules evolve
but we keep at the same game
and though tired at competing
we're addicted to the bother
for when we lose we need to prove
and when we win we need another
and though we're all exhausted
we are spurred on by the lies
and i feel i've lived a million lives
and tried a million tries.
Is your poetry now dusty,
abandoned on the shelf

Have your dreams become dismissive,
do you live for someone else

Is there mold inside your memory box,
questions all long gone

Do you walk that lonely road alone
—your heart to drag along

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
