I never forget to
look.
I always bet on
you being there
and lose.

I heard him say
"I love you"
Like he used to say to me
Like he just said
To the universe, by my side
Screaming from the rooftops
I heard the words
Impassioned
Meant for some other heart than mine
Without a hint of warning
A back turned
A faded smile
A hole in my chest
Where his heart once beat
Me, without a word
I watch the words fly on the breeze
I close my eyes
And hear them just for me
One last time
As the tinkling laughter
The sound of being loved
Glides off in the distance
Now, all I can hear
Is the wind howling through
The cavern where our hearts once lived

With all the exhuberance of a child on Christmas
The smallest gift was received
Ten words on a page
Joy beyond measure deluged a happy heart
Pieces of a soul....more precious than gold

And in return
With all the exhuberance of a child on Christmas
The smallest gift was given
More excited at the giving
At the anticipation of joy

Waived off upon receipt
Forgotten on a page
Unread pieces of love
Bore holes in a happy heart
Chagrin unassuaged by reluctant glances spurred by pain

Longing for all the exhuberance of a child on Christmas

It hurts because I believed you

Sometimes...

Sadness takes hold
and
it's grasp is just
too hard
to break*

Arcassin B
By Arcassin Burnham

Skirts and dresses,
Men in suits,
Shirts with palm trees,
I love palm trees,
Everywhere I go its filled with life,
And its the life for me,
But I don't want to just simply be another centipede,
I mean the party line,
I want something else in mind,
I come here not just for the festivities,
But a fracture of time,
Not for the pretty Brazilian girls,
Shaking their skirts around,
Something about the beat and the drums,
That get me so aroused,

Man! Is this how it goes down at 12:30.
Quick note I love brazil

The wind, swooping down the hills,
through the deciduous forests
lustily hiss,  the beat of the drum
they both hear above that sound, puzzles,

was it her heart or his, both perhaps
they pretend not to hear
They fell in to the spell of the lake
eerily rippleless,  for the moment.
The luscious curves, of lake,still was swelling
in his brooding psyche.
He hasn't make up his mind,
though much bewitched by this witch,
yet persisting doubts ask,
take a step forward or to turn back
the cool breeze that caressed the curves
now the lake revealed, embraced her from behind,
she snuggled bit closer to him
her body twitched in a way suggesting
that she'd expect such a prank from him.

She sat as if frozen to touch in another time
it was getting late,the persistent witch
would she be smelling blood,
the hills show a dark face,
she looked up for the moon's solace.
alarmed he perked his ears,
did he hear the howl of a lone wolf?

Traveler
She bound my soul in the frozen tundra
A thousand years I lay waste
My ship and crew had long since perished
My guardian angel without a trace

Frostbitten bitter arctic memories
Flee the howling changing wind
As she cast eyes on the nearest star
To steal the fire held within

Days of our youth freeze then crumble
Innocence fading shortly dies
Remainders of our icy palace
And a heart deceived in frozen lies

I pity her now as my soul thaws
To a world where warmth is in season
Yet there’s always a shiver when I remember
How quickly love changed to treason

Time heals all wounds, they say,-- but -- heartbreak --I--s a wound deeper than most. What if that was the first thing she has ever --lo--st? They said she was too nai--ve,-- too young.  And it hurts knowing they were --d--ead wrong. It hurts her knowing it ended real bad. It hurts trying to understand. She remembers the lips she once had tasted, and she remembers t --h--e     t--im--e... all of it wasted. She remembers the passion, the love, the way time would fly. And now all that's left is hatred, the blood, a final good-bye
But I loved Him
