She Walked
Her heart is gone, So broken with time
As she said good bye, Leaving on a dime!
Words generating with Pressure
Building in  time, Of nothingness sublime!

From long ago, Tumult ‘every day
A life of chaos, building up and away
In the stillness of the night
With no end in Sight!

She was laying there, Crying, Feeling like dying
Hoping upon hope, This would be her last
Creaks and groans, Were heard
And she knew she wasn’t alone from the past...

Was that a voice calling her name or was it a lie?
Her heart trembling like a frightened bird!
Don’t be scared, fear only hears the overheard
Walking,  As she said  goodbye!
a woman frighten and running for her life. Need I say more...

Her Shadow Is Closing
A beautiful butterfly you were
as all watched you from a far
standing by scented embers
with drug impaired eyes,
following by sips of red wine
at that given moment
you looked unsure of yourself
but all were so happy to offer their help...

Your tight hip-hugger pants
slid over your form
not a thing was wrong
could anyone see
oh how I wish I was you
on that rainy day..

Then one day, as years went by
you seemed so lost as I spied you far away
your hair seemed disheveled
your tears ran down lined pale face
the air didn't change as you floated around
like it did many moons before
my heart went to you
as I saw all the distressed...

Dear sister what happened?
did you fall on ill health
did your love fall by the wayside
did it break your heart?
The shadow is closing
a touch of loss still spoke
you murmured so softly
that not many days were
left to live much less pray....

This is for all us butterflies and our best friends in high school.. when we wanted to be them, and then years later when we see them they look so hard and afraid from all the drugs and hurt they had been through.

But Atlas
Atlas

It cannot be found

Within the confines

Of my mind ...


Years have stalked me

Somewhere in the deep

Hanging on to the precipice ...


Emotional

As In life my face to the sun

Defying the grip that comes ...


From below

I feel the warmth

The glow on my skin

The grip is loosed

As the beast transforms ...


From clay to wax

Warm rays of life giving

Sun

Have radiated through

My being ...


Only for it have been melted

Fast away

Once again summer is here to stay ...


No One

Wants you so

The way I feel for you

When summer has ended

Will you end too ...*

Little Too Late
For a short bit of time the smiles were Contagious

Now the solicitude wins out Memories that Overplay

While crumbled stones attack my thinly callused Feet

As the tears fall so readily down the path

Unknowingly, that was so neat

As I escape the roadway my feet hurt so Daringly

My toes crush a fallen limb the cries come so Loudly

Tackle and break the heart from head to Toe

But as I look up and see the stars the glacier looks Deep

They twinkle brightly in the red sweet ****** of a Sweet lip

Wanting to remember those beautiful days with You

Bright fireworks thrilled us gentle looks of Love

But fear has set in love has turned to Hate

Sleeping with sadness like I would be with a Blanket

As I thrash every night all night Long

Longing for the morning to come and find me Alone

The noise like grinding teeth I wonder if that is Me

As blankets accumulate like my sadness Does

I jump to my feet crying this can be no more

As I run blindly to find my life yearning and Believing

Wearing thin I knew I could not stand any Longer

So the urge to fly away comes so very Strongly

And that  breaks my Heart....

One Beautiful Day
Good morning, he said
this beautiful day,
here is breakfast in bed
and here is where I want you to stay....

You see this is the first day
of a wonderful life for you and me
you are my angel, my bright shining star
but this day your mine, come what may...

What followed was magic and he held her heart
as he stroke her love, till the darkness bright
what followed next brought tears to her eyes
she had never known pure happiness like that before...

He meant every word, every action too
as he picked her up and made her... his
delight flashed across her face
the electricity that was felt moved their souls...

One beautiful day turned into many more
with lots of good mornings
this beautiful day, telling her over and over
here is where I want you to stay...

Certain Summer Rain
It was  a certain summer
A special Rain
A loving moment
That couldn't be bought again
Remembering the love
Asking the how
Rolling in the moment
One last time...


Oh , do you kiss the same?
Do you make love so glorious?
Would you look deep in my eyes one more time?
The same way as you used to do.
That is ripening in your touch.
To slowly touch your face to hold each other so tight
it has been some time ago.
That at the start of one certain summer;
besides we are not so old to be mystified with flowers;
after... the summer rain;‟*

It’s better to sit by the sea
As I look upon the face
Of my life I see
The light shining so brightly
Bringing hope and love
That needs for me to be...

Walking beneath the stars so bright
I smile, Oh do you hear the cries
For better tomorrows
That this spring will bring....

Skating beneath the loneliness
This night of nights
Keeping in ancient lands
Never dying fires of life
Against the raging light
My heart is so laden
With heavy thoughts....

My mind lets go a million hearts
Of love and life lost
But to see the wonder of it all
To see the loves of many to distrust
The slender of the fall
The winter of time is gone
To make our souls
Grow strong
I need a silent night to make my own ....

I need this lonely night
I need the man I miss most
A sweet high of love
To hear an angel’s voice
To hear above the chaos
With a silent life....

To find the love that is so special
Spring is so near
It's a midnight clear
Reminding me of what might be....

Come What May
Can you see, what? come what may?
a dream to be what do you see?
someone like you so far away
seems to me like it comes to thee
smiles from both, blowing leaves in a tree
a whispering wind blowing oh so gently,
looming over the sea
whose hand do I take?
as i whispered silently
with my heart i do cry
one with the same soul
do come what may,
so you won't go astray
a kiss from both
shaking of the knees
like petals of a white rose
blowing over me,
down you lay as we drift away.
bruises of blue
thy heart of black
no kiss mislaid,
only night from you
prayer to Him with scared eyes
take me away and leave misplaced
come what may.....

Let Me Lay
My thoughts found in tears
let me lay with you this last time
let me put my face on your chest
and let me hear your heart beat
no matter what my mood
no matter what the day...

Let me lay, let me shed my tears
in your heart, in this losing battle
its hard not to call, to hear your mighty voice
its hard to turn away
my tears give way to fears
the joy seems to dissolve away....

My arms ache, just wanting to feel you
my lips are chapped needing your kisses
my body aches wanting and needing so much...

I find myself looking to the stars
out the simple window of pain
I curl up on my pillows and cry the night away...

So Please let me lay, just one more time
let me look at your wonderful face
let me search your wonderful heart
just don't walk away....

My Darling
Who will understand?
When the lilacs will be no more
When the river runs deep
Between the two hills that are so steep
Where the clouds have left the skies
Shows where our destination lies.....

My Darling
My feet are tired
And my eyes so weary
With my mind so dreary
The years have taken their toll
The disappointments so very long
Shall I go on? ...

My Darling
But here you are now
My hopes are not dashed
The time has come
With the vastness of space
Remembering the laughter
of the past
the love so real .....

My Darling
Wanting to bring the past
Into the reality
Just to see your face
One last time ....

My Darling
Who will understand,
The Love I have for you? ...

By: Debbie Brooks 2014.. @copywrite.
Who will understand love long past or life and it's tolls.. Who will understand?
Laying here emotions take over .... trying to devour the reflections of you
My eyes, searching, wanting, and deleting ....

With a heart so full awesome rapture,
alone with these I own
I draw close to my inamorato,
I dream ...

Desire comes with transgressions
the body trembles, my chin starts to quiver
and a lone drop is shown
my eyes and mouth close inviting
winkles form without surprise
waterfall of tears flood my soul
a cry for love, is overflowed
so much to give and and none to take ....

I treasure the real love
that bounds my soul
my eyes see it all,
his affection was mine,
my heart was in his hand,
ohh to have the love from him
once again ...

No Romero or Casanova for me
with words of love to turn the head
noooooo, I will come with open embrace
to the one i truly love ....

My reflections of you .... I will wait till my dying day ...

Portrait of a Solid Boy Man
He was alone
Needed help from above
Holding on to the reality
Of being on his own
No love in sight
Left one night

A decision
That’s haunted
The heart of his strife
Standing on the corner
Trying to hide from sight

Being homeless
But really just a boy
Not a pretty life
Crossroad of time
Held back by tears

Seeing all with the laughter and cheer
Not caring for others
Not seeing the pain!
A small child hiding from thee
With tears falling in pain from within
Hoping life would go on without him..

Looking up to see the stars
Crying tears of longing
Seeing light from something above
The cold was turning him blue
Tears frozen were new
Marks of pain was visible
Stripes of blood defined
Splashing through the stream
Crushing in the snow
So much more complicated was he!

Wishes are smashed
Lives ruined
He didn’t want to exist
Seconds, minutes of the day
Means so much
As the boy man held out his hand
Wanting and needing but not knowing what to do!

Not having a *** nor having a cent
He realized he could offer love
Like so many had before
Life was upon them
Hope was his name
Hoping it would be the same!

Little one looked up and saw the hand
Thinking he was an Angel sent from above
Smile showed his teeth weakness began
Coldness over took
Them both that night
As they made their flight
Into the starry sky!

Meeting the Angels
That greeted them from beyond
Singing glory hallelujah
For all time!

He was but a portrait of a solid boy man
Who wanted to give the love
He never had!

No One Knows Her Name
Her head bent down, a hole in her chest
unfulfilled by love that doesn't exist
her search seems to have no meaning
wanting so deeply to be hugged
to survive

She is flushed, eyes wet
teardrops roll her face
saving every one to soak her skin
so that she can shed them once again
she cries

Her hair draped around her face
she feels undesirable
unwanted and losing her reality
longs to be part of the one she searches for
she waits

Looking in the mirror she disbelieves
as the pitch black of night covers her guiding light
her search is unworthy of being the one of his dreams
she feels it doesn't matter
she climbs

Still dreaming, even with doubt, or with meaning
was it truth or falsity
wanting the dream to be real
as it fades into the clouds
to die

With head bent down
dreams gone
words that don't last
teas dried up
lost

No One Knows Her Name

Kissing The Kiss
His essence surrounded the room
with only the sound of their heartbeats
her pulse races as his eyes locked deeply with
hers ...

He slowly slides a hand on the side of her face
with her sight closed,
she takes his hand to rest her head ...

With his touch she feels wanted and much desire
her eyes glassy , filled with wanted tears
he draws her close,
the feeling each other breathes ...

Slowly he moves his lips to hers ... barely touching
he pauses ... waiting for acceptance
she presses your lips to his essence
moving in unison of one ...

With the dire need of each other
the harder they press with sounds of unborn
essence, a ****** kiss of two lovers
is born, kissing the kiss ...

There You Are
Its been a while
but then there you are
High atop the hill
Overlooking my heart
You stand there with tender hands
Ready to caress my pain within ...

You said... Life is funny
We love laugh and cry,
But its not worth while if your not in it ...

I considered you my friend'
Maybe a Lancelot or Casanova?
You called when you were blue
A joy to hear your voice on the other end ...

Calming my storm, within
I close my eyes once again
Unsound
You are still in love I suppose ...

We will talk for hours
And my heart stands still
Laughter will sound from my side
My smile is weak, I must not cry ...

There is a longing there you know
A longing for what we had
Maybe it wasn't so bad ...

Empty this house
I sit alone
Pondering what went wrong
And there you stand one more time
inviting my heart to carry on ...

Trying to find the nerve of how I feel
Alone it seems so unreal
I made up my mind, the day I view
I will tell you of my love for you ...

You ignore every word I say
How can I love the likes of you?
Tears rushing one more time
Maybe just maybe you will make a change....

Then there you are one more time
Offering me your strong hand
Holding my heart one last time
Knowing just knowing I will fold ...

Shadows of Time
Shadows of Disappointments..
Flowers life to the fullest
Never understanding
The outcomes of fate
Shadows slink across the yard
Life comes to an end
Crying tears of life
On a silent bridge
In a world of make believe
And all the pain
With deaf ears and more of the same
Seems so norm
charade continues on
Where shadows have names
No more to blame..*

The Sunburn
Cerulean rays of the sun
Burning deep in the improbability
Of my being’s reality
Turning epidermis
To a dark sensuality
As the dermis boils
Erupting sores of pain,
Mocking at my fate…
From deep within

As I wait for him in vain,
Hoping our time spent together
Will heal and mend wounds,
I dream of a summer moon,
Its light soothing me,
Covering salve for my bruises
From the scorching sun
Why does my aching love
Not shield me?
From my blood sweltering
I am stuck knee deep
In quagmire of sun’s
Scalding blue rays


As you burn and scald
In your loneliness,
The sunlight
Touching your soft skin
With no intent to cause injury
But a burning desire
To en-wrap you
In its orange river’s flow
Painting your ethereal beauty

It is your heart that burns
Pining in distant love
As it sighs and yearns,
The blood that runs
Through your veins
Is what has been showered
Upon you by heavens above,
The sun and the cool summer moon
Are what you and I breathe.

In unison, the chests heave
With seasons passing, as old we grow
In moonlight and soft sunsets
Each ray adding to your and my glow

Our Day
Let's make this our day...
a day with smiles and love
that touches the other souls of one
of merriment that has to last, because I insist it so...

Insist of others to back away, hold the hearts of one I say
then pray with all your might, that love will last one more day..

Oh yes this has to be our day
that folds around each adoring way
to reach for eternity that makes me laugh
or cry which ever my heart leads towards array...

Can't you see it has to be my day???
nothing can stop me now I say.. my prayers can't go unnoticed
my hopes and dreams cant be dashed, my darling I need you, so much
so much, has to last....

My tears are vanished, my heart has stopped
I just don't care what is said.... you see its mine,
all mine to keep, don't go away.. I pleaded once again ..

So if you want to go away.. it's fine, go, I say...

But guess what???

This is still my day, and you can't take it away.....

Distance So Far
Walls so long, hold heartache in
distance so far, tears have fallen
nasty words, flow between
mouths that hurt so many new
can't find some kindness today
I guess it all blew away
distance comes, distance goes
friends seek others I know
blasted hearts do not care
what has befallen others it seems
people die, fall down and cry
oh tell me, why oh why?
Stardust falls, and falls again,
lighting flashes so much when
storms a brew what a delight
that flashes life all about

So it seems, life doesn't care

who hurts, or grasps for air ....

Knowing You Knowing Me
I grew up in the long summers of my mind
Caves and woods, warm spring days
Long summer evenings
Crisp autumn
Slanted sunlight and a lot of you ...

The miniature planes of Blackberry Park
A far off Hum
Late at night
If the wind was right’
Elevated trains
Coming and going
Hum of the city residing ...

In the past
So many memories
And a whole lot of you and whole lot of me
The way it should be
Empty swings swaying in the breeze
Can’t you see ...

Knowing you
Knowing me
While the ghosts of our memories
Play in our minds
Bring thoughts of shining stars
Painted on midnight skies
Laughter and happiness now
Disappear in the hearts of you and I
Knowing you, knowing me....*

I Once Was A Little Girl
It was a once and forever thing
this wild thought of mine
how did I ever think I could be happy
once again ...

Although life goes on
as the summer mist disappears
I will never forget
your first words
the churning of my heart
and our wild thoughts
yes my love, this could have been
a wonderful excitement
of love that never could win ...

Although heart broken
myself feels a million miles away
you will always be there
but darling
and I wouldn't change a thing
in our whirlwind romance ...

Yes I was once a little girl ...

I Thought I Was Your Only
It was a day like no other
The day of you and me
Think of hurt that played a part
Of so many nights before
Do you think running away will do any good?

Do what you like
Marbles can be found
Have you ever looked
At a picture
And after looking at it for a while
It moves
Looking in the darkness
One slip you are over the edge
Are you back there?

Hovering
When I was a kid I would dream
In sequence
Dreams conform to the notes
Then for a long time I didn’t dream at all
Then one night I fell asleep and I was in an amusement park
It was so real and there he was
Lurking and luring
Me to come
Laughing at my newness
Then there were his eyes
Deep cat blinders
The dream is out of control
I was running
Looking
Waiting
For the hurt
The pounding of the unloved
You were different , I thought I knew
I thought I was your only.....

Bathing In Our Needs
I kiss the thoughts of memories

You were disturbingly calm

And you seemed

so indifferent...


This is to let you know

My love is still there

No matter what

I’ll always love you....


I’d give anything to make you

Feel the way you used to.

You caught me suddenly and I knew

I wish I could make you understand....


The feelings inside my mind about you

I’m so confused. I’m sorry if I hurt you.

I stay awake at night,

Trying to understand what happen...


I just wish that you could understand

What I'm going through.

Like a hallowed spot my dear

As I stare at the moon...


My soul wishes

Things would go back to normal

So we could talk like we used to.

You’re my only haven....


And now the mountain glows

As I dodge the clouds of awkwardness

And the tears of forgiveness

Doesn’t mean a thing....


When I don’t have my true love

Nothing can escape

For he lies beyond me

Just know the word is love....


And the melody of the stars

Used to sing our tune

Of heavens that might have been....


So bathing in our needs

That we might have been

In our veils of light....


Yes, you were a scared lover

That's what you were

Your look will be in my image

So maybe just maybe

Tonight this night might be the one of

All nights.....


Maybe one day my love, my heart and yours will be one, but just know the spirits of our hearts will be forever more…

Just maybe one day

My love,

We will be bathing in our spiritual needs!*

Walking The Stars of Blue..
it was just me and you
in my stars of blue
broken sorrows bought
semblance of colors
of golden form
stars glowing
lights blaring of things to come....
Caught the reflection
of many to come
putty in the lights
of golden blue stars
in the sea of gardens of blooms...
Bittersweet golden blue
flows around
the sweet hearts
of those that find
the moment of sweet surrender
in the golden blooms.....
Just thinking of you again
colors reflect the many reasons
time of dance and song
golden times that are pressed
for glorious union.....
Now blinded by golden stars
thinking of the beauty of times
that follows the diminishes of thoughts
the brilliance that once was
born to a woman as I....
Golden lights of many stars
i give to you my many thoughts
that forms the love i once knew
when I knew of him
one last time of long ago
In the golden fairy tale
of fairy gold blue dust I see
something special will come this way
one last time
In golden star lights of time.....

Just thinking of you....
Debbie Brooks..
Deep within the starlight glade,
A child of light sits on emerald green.
Under a great tree her majesty sits In shade,
Her name Is beauty a glory to be seen.
Eyes are closed In peaceful bliss,
Loves' dreams within her mind do wander.
What loving thoughts her mind does kiss,
Not one thought shall her mind squander.
There sits beauty wonder divine,
Awaiting the stars to come out at night.
In starlight glade lost In time,
Where beauty shall meet beauty what a sight.
Then In glory the stars came out to play,
Beaty does open her pools of Love.
Stars painted on dark velvet so far away,
Forever belonging In Heaven above.
You stand and start to walk the emerald green,
Stardust does fall onto glories hair.
Starlight falls upon your glory supreme,
You are the child of light an Angel fair.
Let me drown In pools of soft brown,
Smile become my living sun.
You open up a heart In whose Love I would drown,
It opens In Love for everyone.
Now In starlight glade you are no more alone,
In darkened glory before you I stand.
Tonight your heart shall be my home,
Come my blushing Rose do take my hand.
Now I hold Heavens' glory close to me,
I lose myself within your pools of Love.
The beauty and wonder of Love I see,
It Is time for our hearts to rise above.
Your lips In glory they now meet mine,
In starlight glade our Love shall shine.
We do drink from Loves' cup divine,
You are Loves' eternal valentine.
Dream your dreams as you always do,
May your every dream come true.
Lady of the light may you always view,
This world of ours as you wish to do.
Beauty always walk this world with pride,
Your beauty through the years It grows.
Never set your Love to hide,
My beloved you are the beauteous blushing Rose.

"Quenched"
Collaboration...Dee and Deborah Brooks

I was the scorched wasteland,
you the ravishing stream
my life, sparse
while yours teemed
my lips parched
while yours gleamed,
one drop water was all
that I had sought,
alas! That was too much
for you to part with…

I live on
as the deserted desert.


**You were scorched in my being
Sent my ravishing stream to drink
Kissed your lips that were parched
My love made you shimmer and gleam.

My tears real, splattered as raindrops
Your lonely hand reaching out
When the day we bid goodbye
In the deserted desert
Alone by ourselves…
The fine collaboration by Dee was
in response to his poem 'Drought'
Truly thankful to you
Dee... The finest friend anyone could ever have

Let It Rain
A vision at a distance
with all the circles in motion
so many lives at stake
oh I pray, let it rain ...

Eclipsed of human form
it shadows our path by the light of the moon
we all will sing and dance
if it will only rain ...

Face to face, a glow warms our souls
as the skies began to rain ...

Our Passionate Song
We smile, touch each others hands
as the excitement of the other explodes
in our eyes ...

With rose petals on my pillow
he kissed my lips, and made me bloom ...

What the outer world brings
is no concern here
we retreat into our passion
and the world disappears ...

In her steamy neglected darkness
a passion buried deep within
to have what love she desired
as she walked lonely into her bedroom ...

That love that is God's gift
amidst the turmoil and chaos
to retreat into comfort
no machinery of war can give ...

She twirls her hair with one hand
as she motions for her love to appear
her loneliness so apparent ..
As he sits in the darkest room ...

And out of the chaos he emerges in strength
to take her in his scarred arms
and breathe passion into her lips
they take pleasure and give pleasure to one another
as God's gift comes to light
were it so everywhere ...

She stretches out her arms
take me just the way I am,
you're my type of man
I will love you like there is no tomorrow ...

But love spent,
he must part into the chaos
slumped shoulders of regret
that they are not with the Gods ...

Its nice to know our kiss can explode into a world of song..

I Listen For The Door
I sit here in the middle of nothing
reaching and reaching for the end
now that you are gone, it has been very long....

Moving images, oblique surroundings dim my senses
tears flow to the scheme of things
nothing will ever be the same
since death took you in its strides...

Your healing embrace and the pose of your mind
your strong will, took no prisoners
our journey as lovers kept me captive
shattered... shuddering, trembling
tears racked my very soul...

My cherished lover,  in passion and dreams
as I sit here and listen for the door..

Many A Day
'On my dear, it's been a year
so long it's been, are you coming home?'
'I don't know when my love, it's ******* here, I just want to come home'
oh you say, 'my tears are for you and the longing is hard, it's been many a day, ok just hurry home......'

Rushing here and fro, hoping and praying
drinking my sweet southern tea, oh bless my heart
I lost my shoes... and it's been many a day... so you say
hot summer days, making lots of love with your memory, under the hot humid nights, it's been many a day..

Sweat pouring, breath releasing,
rolling over to face what comes what may,
it's been many a day, I pray.. but it's okay see you soon
standing up straight holding my head, maybe today is the day
no dear one, its been many a day...

Well the days have come and gone,
still alone, so hard these days, to sir with love
not anymore, I feel a chill, body blasts there is a certain peace
until I see you one more time, hands sweat and breath grasps
yes, I cry when they tell me you are gone....

it's many a day, I say....

Legs Dangling Over The Edge
Barely touching, softly feeling
as the sun tops the surface of the water
both grooming the other and concealing,
ohhh what fun, to be alive ...

How they ache to be alone
to explore love that is so new
foot on foot feeling in tone
excitement builds as the sun resides ...

With rays of the evening sun
melts away the days of old
bringing newest love to behold
a memorable moment to end with a kiss ...

But no, her smile was very inviting
so youthful and refreshing
with the sound of truth in her eyes
he sees her soul, as his breath rewrites ...

As legs dangle to find the other.

True Love Eternal
My desire unfailing, is our love
seizing all the pleasures of paradise
our eyes measure the need for the treasure
with deeds of splendor that are of grace...

This I want for all eternity
that are handed to me from your eyes
that I seek every second, minute of the day
please don't turn away...

You call me Angel, love and so much more
with a love of such fury that I adore
please I command the last assault of the golden arrows
that will bring you back to me on these golden shores...

Just a simple plea for you and me
as I sit down to breakfast to see you leave
for the beginning of the day your brown eyes do bleed
with hunger and knowing I am here for you to see...

Debbie Brooks 2014
Simple Plea Is All it Was
Your bravery to speak your mind
your laughter that made us know
you loved us one and all
on each and every show,
no words can describe
the love I feel for you
the loss our lives will be
without your humorous tees ...

Robin, oh dear friend,
although we never met
I knew oh so well, in every part
that you played,
your Oscars and money
didn't matter to you at all,
all you wanted was to help
your side kicks, the human kind,
you see Robin
we are your family, we cry for our loss
you are taken from us, its just not fair
there will be no more
tomorrows with you in it ...

Your sadness that brought on your death
is so very real these days,
the hurt that breaks the heart
doesn't ever seem to mend.
the darkness that envelops
our lives seems to over power us so many times
we see as death the only escape,
that brings so much sorrow
to all that love us.
Robin how we loved you, everything
about you, even in the dreamed curse ...

The moon has risen and now there will be another day,
your memories and movies and laughter will be with us
all around the world, but you 'dear friend have gone on
to the great beyond in the sky ...

Robin, good morning to you ...

Looking Beyond The Stars
Sitting in my window seat
looking at the stars, the sky
blackish red, with tiny lights anew...

Setting sun was dreamy
with pink,
blues and purples and sometimes violet
shinning all at once ...

The sun sets, the sky darkens
and my love for you, skims through
ages of color, your touch, holds me
and it seeps through every cloud
every word, that you write, every heart
that rejoices, of colors...

As we lay in each others dreams
as we touch each other minds
.. the kiss I feel every time you speak,
every tear that falls that you brush away.....

Your pen sends love with every stroke
and as my heart breaks you kiss it thousand times
you the one that lifts me up and tells me ,
you that pushes me and touches my face
you that tells me i am worthy,
you my love that is everything ....

As the fire burns, as the love stirs
and I see you far away, the air stirs
the sun sets again.... and there it is
our colors mix inside our different worlds
but you love me anyway ....

The whispered words
between our souls, my red satin dress
twirling around our legs, as you dance me
into your life ....

Kisses forever... my love*

Pale Heart
Pale Heart..
It’s a pale paler heart
I may have
There is no reason
not to love
The proof is plain to see
Would you let me be?
So paint me white
This very day
I feel I've grown since then
Let me know why
I see you this way
Words generating
In catacombs of life
Of a deprived time
Struggling to keep sane
In the whiteness of my mind


The sounds of earth
They uplifted me
Back into time
To a lighter shade of
Pale
With a message
I thought
That took me away
To my heart
Into a fantasy
That took me away
To a lighter shade of pale
Brings a pale heart......

Finding You, Finding Me
As teardrops fell that lonely day
as hearts broke so long ago
the light I was wearing wore out
closing the last door behind me
losing myself in the moment
was the day I found you ....

The stories of the times
always made me cry
searching for love in the wrong places
never seeing a Pladrincs, wondering did they exist
waking up in the mornings wondering
what was to come, and there you stood ...

Like a stature of a god, with a light of gold
highlighting your smile that melted my heart
with a pen of gold your wrote my life
but never to have you hold my soul...

You were my man, the day I found you
the day you found me, I was your woman
now there is only death, facing us
as the day has transcend time and space
that is hidden in the gods that we seek ...

That was the day you found me and I found you
then it was gone...*

Red Sky in Mourning
With the weight of a thousand voices
The tears come and then they go
Yet truth is fact ...

Realizing a must
Drifting cross those burning dreams
And smile the smile that she would wish to see
The eyes so full of tears and fright
What to do with the night
They were standing there bare
Wondering what to wear
When blinking eyes
The love was gone
On those afternoons gone by ...

If spring is made for renewal
It’s the memories that make it so
With candles for fingers
She turns to the sun
Radiance in her hands
Stars are for yesterday
That was in her eyes
Drops of bright white yearning
For his heart ...

Knowing she is not his mate
Sweet surrounding would envelope her
Now that it is all gone
Kisses were words
With loving grace
Like Eve in Eden
She long for the apple
That serenaded from his lips
That swoon her to his love ...

She went to sweet slumber
Five hundred miles away
A paragon of beauty
So full of longing
To face another day ...*

Apathy Cries
Evil lurked so close to her heart
held her  tight, closed its eyes
sinking lower fear set in
closing and squeezing the life
from this form of her's ...

Its like the sound of the wind
full force and frightening
thousand miles an hour
tearing every inch of her apart ...

Dead is dead forever
life could be no more
choking lives that devour
Thats what evil is ...
Apathy is the glove in which evil slips it's hand in

A dream
By Dee
Debbie Brooks


Restless sleep last night

I tossed left and right

Across the everglades and leas 

I saw you running towards me. 



Out of breath, you came & clasped my hand

My heart pounding, I could barely understand, 

The distress, pain, aches reflected in your eye

Not a word spoken, yet all said by your sigh. 
  

I saw a teardrop rolling down your cheek

Adios my darling, hitherto we shall never meet

‘The dawn arrives’, is what you said silently

Why can’t you linger awhile? I beseeched fervently.



Confused paralyzed, I let you go 

And you were lost, gone – ergo

As I sat on the broken bench to catch my breath

I wondered was I, in holding on out of depth? 



Alas…I pray

Would you come back into my dream again tonight? 

Not to leave, but to stay on even after daylight? 

Not to cause agony & pain

But to stay, forever remain.

____________

My love, I saw you in your dream
I traveled oh so far, waiting for an invitation
To be part of you once again
Your mind entwined with mine
Drove my heart to yours
And dreamed me so many times


Your dreams become my restless sleep
Tossing and turning with touches of your lips
That keeps me flooding with touches and love
That’s when I was running to you
You saw my teardrop, with touch of desperation


My heart pounding not understanding
The need I had for you,
Whispering we should ever meet,
Please do not let me go,
Your dreams are my dreams
Even in the daylight

I can taste your love like rain on my tongue
You teased my dream with droplets of you
With so many wild pleasures that lay in store
As our happiness dazzled before our eyes
Our dreams made one, that last time …
Thank you Dee for collaborating with me.. I am so honored...http://hellopoetry.com/deepakqt/

I Cry
Sitting here sitting alone
the loneliness grows long
you got a secret, and you left me
this night...

How do I cry?

My eyes still rove over my sicken heart
vanishing amide the wild scenery of life
the light was yet there
a constant sight grows in the background .....

Oh I want to cry.....

Shining dim, but constant in the rain
drips with a sounding bound
where the dry soul breath goes dry
follows by the dusky hill ....

Please let me cry....

It doesn't matter, the truth be told
my night was wretched, tried hiding
but the pain followed me wherever I sit
wetting me, afresh on my skin.....*

Natural Release
Emotions cradle, raw explosive nature
desires of unaware raptures, blood boils
from thoughts exploding in her mind, it rages
through her body,.... her extreme need to be fed...

Her hunger burns like sulfuric acid and eats away her soul
the pure tingling on her skin, that makes her whimper
within his presence, as it warms to the touch as her
hands glide oh so gently that ends at her mouth....

Burning with memory, watering and longing
with the sounds of nature untamed in her ear, holding
so much, her moans for him materialized singing her tune
like two wooden stakes being stroke for a fire, her body molten....

Her lips tremble, she sees him turn, she melts, pulse races
he stands there, her heated ecstasy  smothers, lives
and breathes, the warmth of the earth, sweats drip
on her beautiful creation, in her mind....

Her natural release ....

My True Romance
My time on this earth has led me to love
love of ideal grace and beauty to our souls
with kisses so passionate , that it becomes immortalized
such love exists only in our hearts, and you my man is my beloved....

Love has come to me in a moment of madness
when you walked into my life
a time I didn't think there was no chance
of flowers and hearts and million kisses...

Cupid is from the love of God
once struck by his golden arrows
is a love that us mortals cannot understand
but God's precious love we hold
that embraces heaven and earth
and our very lives...

My darling I thank you for loving me
the only me is yours to be
and thank you for making me free
making life a heightening intensity....

Ghostly Pride
You follow me in my silent screams
around the corner in my silent tears
I sit down and watch you bow
horse drawn carriage with a bough
this many a morning mist will prevail ...

All the wonder of my pride
will follow me and abide
traveling through my rapid mind
I see you lagging way behind ...

Dear Darlin, I know your dead
but it doesn't matter but instead
I see your movements through pride
a ghostly feeling that makes me drive
while tears make me rush ahead ...

Your my Ghost, my traveling past
following me where I may last
watching over me this day
but I really don't know why....

Dear Love, Its Almost 2015
The Year Had Been Going Great
Then I saw her name
I knew it wasn't over
with my broken heart ...

I started crying again
I guess I love to much
I dont understand why
It has to start ...

I see rainbows throughout my life
with colors that sparkle
cold and worn
I lived life
with each day I am told...

I remember that morning
as we sat and swore
promising promises
that never did we wore,
wondering how the expressions
of our fair weather came
and flattened our souls
underneath it seems ...

Where did the poison come from
as it ran down my cheek
that flattened my heart
as you began to speak...

Why did she have to appear
ruining my year
as we stretch to the new one
do I still want to be here? ...

Questions with no answers
ruin my life
as i wander around
with my head cut off ...

Maybe one day
it will be alright
when can I fly to see my love this fair weather day
Is love really blind
someone told me that
today
as i coast along life
not knowing which way to go ...

Dear love I pray and ask
where have you gone?
its almost 2015
the night seems
well so long
I fight whats right
I fight for life
oh dear Lord
I just want to scream...**

Portals Of Time
The portal that rubs her deepest thoughts,
secret desires and fantasies
she lies on her bed, staring at the wall,
wanting more, wanting him
her head is clouded trying to remember what was said
what was done
the gap is widening,
the look of the bottomless abyss grows, she sinks
a tempest of emotions cradle of raw explosive nature,
at a distance she sees
at a distance she cries,
her blood boils, her thoughts run through her body
as she is walking this life alone, her past haunts her,
waiting and wanting what she cannot have.

She lay comatose of the vision she saw today,
with eyes shut, a vision from
the past, although she does not get out much,
she sits alone, translucent of her colors,
black and white and shades of grey.
The clock keeps ticking, a past
endeavor waits to be awaken,
countless moments of love loss, where words were never spoken.
With a cry for the fallen, a voice of wonder is upon her,
wondering was he really real.

Should this go on, or should it end?
The black rays of the sun sink deep in her soul,
in the improbability of reality.
Turning the outer layer of skin to a dark sensuality,
as the second layer boils and seethes of pain that rise to her fate,
as she tries to move on. She waits in vain, hoping he will wait for her.

As the Portals of Rain flows so deep,
she dreams of the summer rain, flushing her sins away.
When the silvery moon beams on her hair and love once again
will flow around her like sweet silver rain, just one more time,
as she waits in the Portals of Time.

Once upon  a time;
There was but a girl of sorrow that did not know love
she kept trying to wipe away moisture from her eyes
as she looked for guidance from above:

A feeling of unkept told
her heart knew she had to be strong
but the bricks were building up
more walls to climb she knew not what ...

The muscles of life harden hard
no light or darkness would be charred
the comfort of hers would not be won
as she searched for the truth be done ...

As the next sun, come with one arms
the dark tower he shall climb to no harm
his heart be pure, his words  carried no vernon to come
his eyes shall never look towards another, will always one will become ...

For the man she dreams about, walk through the narrow door
handsome and strong, loving belong, like never before
on the gathering water she will find the gift that she longed
love for her in the light of the dawn ...

She finally wiped away the moisture from her eyes:

Tears Are All She Knew
Where tears are all she knew,

and from this day forward she flew..

to be no more; she mourns

simple white roses,

tangled and torn

in her golden hair that poses

her crown of thorns

bloodstains that disclosures

her angelica face of bedlam dreams

so torn to be free, oh so free

angels fall sometimes  even cry

and maybe just maybe angels die....*

One Rose At A Time
Roses were falling freely
the earth was given up
the midsummers night dream
The majesty of the night
formed the barefoot madness
so many colors of hearts to come....

Shaken by the violence of the moments of roses
forming , words,'this is the day'
feeling stunned, bewildered
so much to learn
as the roses were falling freely
that day was like no other
but, there is nothing more to tell....

Simply the beauty of it
So much beauty
that I proceed
that lies simply before me
pastures scream with colored symphony
bountiful meadows
precious rain
run into the living stream
how I dance in glorious glory
flowers color all around me
colors that i adore
simply wash the waves of life
in the ever bending
liquid blades
possessions collected
drawing me closer
to the simple beauty of it..

Can't Imagine Not Doing So
Hurry home, I would cry, please darling
I am waiting for your love
for your slow hand
that guides mine
and you declare your love
one more time ...

I call you on the phone
and send  you a  text,
dear darling, please come make love
to me,  I am waiting
you whisper 'I can't imagine not doing so....

You thrill me with your words
my life has changed like a whirlwind
you my love, are the best
please don't let love die
my heart is yours
please whisper to me
one more time ...

Pangs of Love
She was  surprised to wake up in his arms. His breathing was slow, and steady, she thought he was still sleeping, a steady movement against her hands..
She had to admit it felt good but she was still surprised. Her heart was thumping against his cheek, strong and becoming excited.

      It was difficult to believe she was laying in a hotel room with this man, practically naked, with a man she hadn't known very long. There was an attraction between them neither one could deny, the emotions were strong and the passion they felt just looking at each other, and when they touched it was an explosion of excitement.

      She closed her eyes and breathed deeply, trying to gather her thoughts which was hard when she laid so close to him, this gorgeous man. His hand started moving where he was cradling her neck to her hair. He was awake.

"Good Morning lovely," He whispered...
"Hello, you are awake." She was surprised.
"Yes, been awake for a while, just wanting to look at you. I didn't want to disturb you.." He was grinning. He looked so happy.

"I guess I fell asleep. I am so sorry,  too much wine for me." She felt embarrassed, she didn't usually make a habit of going to a motel with a man.

"Hey me too. I guess it was the moment the ***** and the anticipation, but that's alright it is nice being here with you." he smiled at her with a smile that melted her heart.

With her next question she held her breath, she really didn't want to know the answer but she had to know.  "When do you have to leave?"

She knew he was leaving, he had mentioned it  but....... It made her so sad so they had avoided the subject.

  "Not until this evening, my love," she looked at her face memorizing every inch of it, "Any regrets love?"

"What do you mean?" She asked very sad.

"For anything, for how you are feeling, love look at me." his hand took her chin and turned her head to him. "Talk to me, how are you feeling?"

"You are leaving, I am very sad and disappointed, we just met and I feel this connection with you. I haven't had much luck with relationships and then I meet you and its instant attraction. How do you expect me to feel? I feel numb, sad and just want to cry, but I am a big girl. Life will go on and you will still be gone." She pulled away, got out of bed and started putting her clothes on, then she stopped and looked at him. "You might not ever come back alive. This war, is senseless, you are going to fight for nothing. I have already lost you. I can not stand it.. That's how I am feeling."

With that she grabbed the rest of her clothes and her belongings and ran out the hotel room. She ran until she could run no more. She ran into the park and found a tree, and cried. She wanted to die.
