The delicate, velvet paper
And the silky pen of a writer;
There, they lie, on the table,
Untouched, unscribbled.
Through the windows,
A gust of wind blows,
Disturbs a profound silence
To fill the room with romance.
Outside, leaves are falling all around,
The rain starts pouring gently, with no sound.
Inside, her heart slowly melts,
Lost in a daze she knows best.
He whispers to her
Softly, in a murmur,
The words he’s waited years to say.
Feeling the moment, she turns away.
Tears fall down her lovely face;
Some things shouldn’t be said.
Now is too late,
We can’t play with fate.
He takes her hand, and she, the pen.
She has to write on the paper.
He needs to know her despair.
But he won’t let go.
And so remains the paper,
All blank; just like the world of a loner.
She can’t write for him after all
For he won’t understand
That there was a time
That she liked him dearly.
But the rain has stopped.

Here I am,
Once again.
Nothing.
Just this beautiful silence.
Let me melt
In the beauty.
For I seek happiness
Where there is none.
May I have a smile,
When life is harsh?
May there be a poem
For the lonely man?
Will there be a brighter day
When the rain has stopped?
Will there be roses
For the heart that is broken?
Or am I a fool to dream,
When dreams never come true?
Still, I see stars in the haze of the night,
To the blind, they bring light.
I sit and ponder,
Reflect and wonder.
When I close my eyes,
I drift miles
To look for the one star
That will lead me far
To a world that is mine;
To a world that I like.

That severe expression on his face
Would it ever be moved?
A hidden darkness had left a trace
And there’s a heart none would dare intrude
She then walked into his life
A pure, untainted, direct creature
The attraction he felt, he couldn’t deny
She was no beauty, was plain and obscure
An invisible coldness surrounded her
A painful past kept so well inside
Yet there was something about her
Something extremely sincere he yearned to find
She had manners, all too polite
The formality was rather unsettling
And so for her heart, he decided to try
Her soul, he found charming
In his eyes, she wasn’t merely a paid subordinate
She was an equal
She wasn’t a machine without feelings
And that despite her distant disposition
He wanted to seek her
A friendship thus bloomed
Stronger feelings soon emerged
Was their love even possible?
A secret shadowed what was to be
And made their union impossible
She had to leave
Though the passion inside never died
And long enough did he live
For her to see him
And be with him finally
And their souls were linked again.

SPOILER ALERT* *This poem has been inspired by the novel "The Obsession" by Catherine Cookson, and is about two of the main characters.

“Their gaze never wavered as he went on, ‘I hope you’ll be very happy.’”
Would she give him that hand that was so delicate?
For he wouldn’t hesitate
Yet, they met a little too late
Though later, circumstances changed
So there they were, together
On the top of Craig’s Tor
Drinking beer as if nothing else mattered
Because a new life were to start for her
And they had to say goodbye
Leaving him devastated as she walked out of his life
Years later, he would still remember that lovely face
For those feelings in his heart, he couldn’t erase
She was then happily married with a lovely man
As he passed away, the other stepped in
Fate finally smiled at them
The memory of a moment
And so, old feelings ensued
The jealousy of a mad woman once threatened their union
Deranged by a sick obsession
She ended up in flames and dust
At last, at his bed, he wasn’t dead
And she called him a lovely man
How lucky he was for she was a lovely woman
No, not woman, a girl
The girl he fell in love with.

As a shiver, can you whisper?
As the cold wind, can you give me the chills?
As a shadow, will you walk by my side?
As the beautiful sunset, will you melt into my world?
Can you whisper the answer?

Beautiful Silence

A beautiful smile
Melts her candid heart fondly.
Yet, no words; silence.

Whisper

Your eyes whispered love,
Inside, the heart beats so fast,
Will this feeling last?

A lingering

This sweet lingering,
Will it ever go away?
Yes, if the wind blows...

Encounter

Oh random stranger,
In the lovely night of May,
Stole my heart away.

Now or Never

So dearest stranger,
I shall not wait forever
Speak now or never.

Your Sweet Melody**

Your sweet melody
Resounds in my heart of porcelain,
Stops; and it shatters.

When all seems meaningless
When you can’t understand
When what once excited you no longer does
When all are lost, even words
This is when the heart cries
And the soul is too weak to fight
A façade conveniently hides the torment
Emotions so violent
You’d rather be alone
In this world of the unknown
You’ve been rejected
You feel dejected
You lose faith
You want the pain to go away
They say things happen for a reason
And you’d rather not find it out; just move on
Because chances are you won’t find it
Some things are just not meant to be
You know it but acceptance isn’t easy
Nothing in life is easy
This is why it is so hard
This is why it weighs on the heart
And the heart but cries…for no reason...
