Sunshine and the warmth of the sand of the beaches
While reading what my favourite poet teaches
Distilled in between lines and lines of words
Lay silent sounds shimmering unheard
But I read through all of them, one by one,
And came across one that weighed a tonne.

I quickly scrawled on a piece of loose paper
In hopes that those ideas won't ever taper.

'Tonight My Heart Writes A Sad Song'

Tonight my heart writes a sad song.

I will write for example ' My heartbeats sings the blues
And the night sky is shaking in silence'.

The stars dimming with every fresh breath of air.

Tonight I can write a heartbreaking song.
I gave my heart to her and she left the next day.

Through nights like these, I sat under the stars
Watching her smile lit like fireflies in the night.

She loved me once, and I loved her too.
Who wouldn't find love within her smile?

This night, I write the saddest song.
To think I held her in my arms before I held empty air.

To hear the sour surrender of silence
I used to hear her laughs, now my musical tunes tired.

What does it matter where she is.
For I know ingrained in my whole, she is not here.

Tonight I will write of emptiness like a sky
That is staring down the Earth without a light.

My eyes gazed upon the faint stars, praying it was her
My heart has found her, missing from my eyes.

The night sky casing us all, changes when morning arrives
And so like us, we too change when time comes.

I no longer hold her that's true, but with a million hearts I loved her.
My songs from my heartbeat, I hoped reached her ears.

Somewhere else, she will be somewhere else,
Showing her shine of a smile to other beings.

I love her no more, just the disdain that kept me going.
Maybe I do love her for my heart faults without her.

Though I held her in my embrace, empty nights like these,
I wished on a falling star to hold her.

Although I had not been blessed by a thousand stars to get to love her,
I let my heart write a sad song in hopes she can hear their beats.

Between notions of love
and hate
Between friendship
and tolerance
Between living
and dying
And the chaos
Lays waste to the words
That I falsely deemed poems.

Between the conflicts
and resolutions
Between the characters
and creations
Between the broken hearts
and dismembered parts
And the chaos
Lays waste to the words
That I falsely deemed poems.

Between the hearts
And the aches
Between the healing
And the bandages
Between the feelings
And the chaos
Lays waste to the words
That I falsely deemed poems.

For poetry is
Working words
To power.

This is where this poem bends
Goodbye my dear friends
This is where the journey ends
Not with an explosion but with silence.

Dear Princessv
I hope your strength carries you
That your shoulders won't crumble.
It is a difficult time, I can barely imagine,
I give my sincerest condolences to you
And your family.
Until next time

- Star Gazer.

i think you traumatized me black and blue
black and blue
black and blue
all of the bruises
they are free from my skin
but not from my head
you traumatized me
black and blue
black and blue

WHERE OUR LOVE IS LOST .
WHERE WE ARE LOST,
WHERE IS HUMANITY LOST,
WHERE WE ARE GOING,
WHERE IS WORLD LOST THEIR MINDS,
WHERE IS YOUTH , YOUNGSTER LOST,
WHERE OUR MINISTER LOST THEIR  INNOCENCE,
WHERE IS TRUTH LOST FROM THE WORLD,
WHERE  WE ARE GAMBLING OUR EMOTIONS,
WHERE  ALL GLACIERS LOST THEIR CHARM,
WHERE IS BEAUTY IS LOST FROM WOMEN,
WHERE IS CALMNESS  AND KINDNESS LOST.
NARRATED BY JIMMY S HEGAN
