I tried to speak
but my words became lost
within the
emptiness of each sigh...

something
was missing from
your eyes

from your lips

where is the rose
so soft
and vibrant
gone
plucked from your cheeks...

what ails ones heart so

as to steal
the very laughter
from her kiss...

the very twinkle
from her eyes.

All I have to offer is my shoulder
my arms
my ears

but humble as they are

they are yours...

Always.

I feel so alone
as I lie in this bed
an empty shell
of a heart now dead.

There's a fresh breeze blowing
lightly speckled with a fine rain
as I stand face tilted up receiving it's kisses
smiling thinking of you
your soft breath upon my skin
the moistness of your lips against my cheek
my head tilted back
receiving once more your kisses


whilst smiling.

I saw an old couple today holding hands

and smiled.

Some mistake my silence for shyness

when in truth my love
I know

it is your beauty
leaves me speechless.
