Your beauty casts a spell
So strong,
It overshadows
My entire universe.

Don't think of love
as a never-to-be-forgotten song
young lovers should know all above
it's trial and tribulation all along

only devotion and constancy would serve
the longing of a mutual heart to which both belong
let this then be youth's first lesson of love:
the most deserving are those who do love no wrong.
*  after Byron,  Keats, Shelley, Christina Rossetti and the Bronte sisters'

Rejection is a journey
thorns a-plenty
they torment the lover's memory
for lost love knows no end of misery
* inspired by this sentence from PAINFUL BREATHING by Jessica, a fellow-poet

If
you do love me
admit
remove my misery-

when
you've set your heart free
I'll enter then
love should know no ambiguity.
I realize that you probably hate me.
Don't worry
I hate me too.
You say that you don't,
but I see the anger, the sadness, the disgust
that lives and thrives on the lies
that are told, either for the
protection or self-gain of those who tell
them.
Your disgust thrives on my flesh,
eats into my bones,
leaches into my brain.
Shatters me.
I realize you hate me.
Don't worry
I hate me too.
I draw on my wrists with silver
but
it
comes
out
red.
I love it when someone you used to love despises you.

I remember,
once
you loved the rain.
I had thought you would still enjoy it.

But you were craving for
Spring and Sunshine,
and
I... I... I... never knew.
