In the hush of twilight's embrace, she moves with a grace that captivates the very essence of allure.
Her eyes, pools of liquid midnight, draw you into a realm where time stands still, where every glance is a whispered promise of enchantment.

With each step, she weaves a symphony of seduction, her laughter a melody that dances upon the air, leaving hearts intoxicated with desire.
She is a tempest of beauty, a tempest that ignites flames of longing in every soul fortunate enough to cross her path.

In her presence, the world holds its breath, for she is more than just a woman; she is a goddess of sensuality, a muse of passion, an embodiment of timeless sexuality.
I swore & believed that I was over her until I yesterday when she cast her spell over me within moments of a conversation…

If I could write a song for her , it would be a serenade to the beauty found in the simple magic she  brings.

Does she share….?
In the quiet corridors of my thoughts, a question echoes: Does she feel the symphony of emotions I compose for her?

Like a curious wanderer in the labyrinth of uncertainty, I wander the shadows of doubt, seeking clues in the music of her words and the brushstrokes of her actions.

Do my sentiments resonate in her heart as profoundly as hers do in mine? A silent inquiry lingers, weaving through the tapestry of our connection, waiting for the echoes of her response in the corridors of my introspection.

Secret love letter
My love for you is a gentle stream that flows steadily,
a quiet force shaping the landscape of my heart.
It's in the simplicity of shared, secret smiles, the comfort of your presence,
and the countless moments where your existence colours my world with warmth and happiness.
This is a love letter that will never be sent 😭

71yrs old
In the quiet chambers of solitude, echoes of emptiness reverberate, consuming the essence of my being.

Loneliness, a relentless, insatiable hunger, gnaws at the edges of my soul, devouring the warmth that once resided within.

Each moment stretches into an eternity, as isolation becomes a voracious force, feeding on the echoes of laughter that have long faded away.

The silence, a relentless feast for the shadows of despair, leaves me hollow, a mere echo of the vibrant spirit I once knew.


In this desolate landscape, not a glimmer of resilience persists, as I attempt to navigate through  the labyrinth of my solitude, seeking the elusive dawn that promises to dispel the darkness within.
Surrounded by family & neighbours I feel alone.
I go out alone, return alone controlled.

Vacant rooms
In the vacant rooms of her home, echoes linger like melancholic ghosts, longing for her warmth that once filled the hollow spaces.

The silence, like a heavy cloak, drapes over every corner, emphasizing the void left by her absence.

Emptiness takes residence in her  vacant chair, the untouched books on  her bookshelf and the untouched memories adorning the walls.

Her house, once alive with her laughter and presence, now stands as a quiet testament to the echoes of what used to be not two days past—a seating silence yearning for her return.
She asked me to care for her house whilst she & her partner were away.

Drowning
In moonlit dreams, Ann's beauty unfolds, a cascade of ethereal grace.
Silken tides of her presence pull me into the depths, where every glance becomes an ocean, and each smile, a sunken treasure.
As I drown in the sea of her allure,
breathless whispers of admiration linger,
lost in the current of her enchantment.
Im breathless Choking on my unspoken love for her. I’m gasping, clawing for any indication of reciprocating love

The priest will never marry us
and my mom will never know you
but I can kiss you over a mug of  tea and dance with you under the stars and if that isn't marriage I'm not sure what God is looking for...
I found this poem, I didn’t write it but it moved me & I’d like to share it. Moreover I’d dearly love to share it with my secret love.

Ode to a Cat
In moonlit grace, a feline ballet unfolds,

Purring symphony, a lullaby's embrace,
Ode to a cat, in fur and mystery's trace.

Rejection….
In shadows cast by the elusive approval of others, a silent tremor courses through the heart.

A delicate dance with vulnerability, the fear of rejection, an intricate tapestry woven with threads of self-doubt.

Echoes of unspoken fears reverberate in the corridors of the soul, where the ache of anticipation meets the haunting specter of disapproval.

Each step forward tinged with the weight of potential dismissal, the fragile ego tiptoes on the tightrope of acceptance, yearning for the elusive embrace of validation.

In this realm of uncertainty, courage battles apprehension, and the pen of self-worth hesitates, hesitant to script its narrative in the ink of judgment.

The fear of rejection, a phantom that lurks in the corners of connection, yet within its grasp, resilience blooms, forging a narrative not defined by external verdicts but by the unwavering strength within.
I want to tell her I care but the fear of rejection & ruination of the friendship paralyses. I have been rejected so many times….

Heartbroken
In the quiet echoes of shared moments, I believed I held a place in her heart, a sanctuary of understanding.

Yet, as the pages of our story turned, I discovered the bitter truth – a heartbreak that whispered in the silence of unspoken words.

The weight of unmet expectations settled in my chest, a poignant ache that danced with the shadows of what could have been.

In the wreckage of shattered illusions, I navigate the debris of emotions, searching for solace in the fragments of a connection that slipped through my fingers like sand.

Unloveable
In the quiet chambers of my self-doubt, echoes of unworthiness linger like ghostly whispers


My heart, a fragile tapestry, woven with threads of longing, bears the weight of a narrative that whispers, "unloveable."


My wounded soul, adorned with scars, becomes a canvas where doubts paint their somber hues. A mirror reflects a search for affirmation,

My eyes perceive a canvas marked by perceived inadequacies.
In the quietest moments of the day, my soul yearns for an embrace

Crying for  a love that defies the self-imposed boundaries of unloveability,
seeking redemption in the tender arms of self-acceptance.

Drowning in loneliness
In shadows cast by a silent moon, loneliness weaves its subtle tapestry.

Isolation, a heavy cloak, drapes my soul in echoes of unheard whispers.

A solitary heart, a lighthouse in a sea of empty echoes, yearns for connection in the vast expanse of solitude.

A moonlit dance of emotions unfolds,
an intimate waltz with the echoes of one's own existence,
seeking solace in the profound embrace of isolation's melancholy.
Married, in a family, I feel lonely & isolated. I feel unloveable, begging for affection, a hug but their decline. To the point now at 71 yrs old I know it’s too late.

She
She
In her presence, poetry is born, as if the very air conspires to echo the splendor of her being.
She is a harmony of beauty that transcends the confines of mere words.
My secret love. She melts me.
In the shadowed corridors of my mind, depressive demons dance
Their spectral silhouettes whispering melancholy verses.
A symphony of solitude echoes as desolation wraps its tendrils around every thought.
My soul, a battleground where shadows duel with the faint fragments of light that remain, painting a canvas of emotional chiaroscuro.
In this haunting waltz, my heart's rhythm falters, entangled in the vines of despair.
Yet, amid the gloom, resilience may be found—a flicker of hope resisting the encroaching darkness.
My feelings of being unloveable, & loneliness destroy me. I overthink, searching for signs that she cares. And always I arrive at the conclusion that she doesn’t

Being with her….
In her presence, joy unfurls like petals, each moment a verse of happiness.
Her laughter, a melody that orchestrates a symphony of delight, painting my world in hues of contentment.
Being with my secret love creates within me, a timeless period that, joy & longing fill every cell of my being.

Breaking…..
In the silent chambers of solitude, echoes of abandoned whispers linger, weaving a tapestry of loneliness that envelops my soul.

Shadows of unspoken words dance with the emptiness, as my heart grapples with the haunting absence of deep emotive connection.

My abandoned heart has becomes a poet of its own sorrow, scripting verses of isolation across the parchment of my crumbling existence.
My smiling, communicative mask is cracking. What must I do to feel loved, included. Who am I ? At 71 it’s too late to discover

Emotional loneliness
In the vast expanse of solitude, emotions echo in the empty chambers of one’s heart. Loneliness, not just a physical state, but a poignant landscape where the soul navigates its own quiet terrain. A silent companion, emotional loneliness wraps its arms around the spirit, casting shadows that dance with the echoes of unshared sentiments. In the absence of connection, the heart becomes a solitary wanderer, exploring the depths of its own complexities, yearning for the resonance of understanding in the quietude of emotional isolation.

Unsaid….
In the quiet shadows of my heart, unspoken words dance like delicate whispers, weaving a tapestry of emotions unseen.

A tale unfolds, where the script remains hidden, and the ink of affection remains untouched by the quill of revelation.

She, the subject of my silent sonnet, remains oblivious to the verses etched in the corridors of my soul.

Each unspoken sentiment echoes, unheard yet profound, creating a symphony of love in the uncharted realms of the unsaid.
If I weren’t afraid of rejection I’d allow my hear & tongue to engage in dialogue & speak to her the language of my love for her.

Loves heartbreak
Silent echoes of unspoken words reverberate within my head, a symphony of sentiments confined to the chambers of my heart.

In the garden of emotions, my love blossoms like a delicate flower, yet the petals remain veiled in the shadows of secrecy.

A broken heart weaves a tapestry of unspoken longing, each thread a whisper of the words I dare not utter to her.

In the quiet corridors of my soul, the weight of unshared feelings casts a poignant shadow,
a silent requiem for a love unspoken.
I live to be with her, to love her but she is another’s. & I never hold her, kiss her or be able to declare my love for her. To do so would mean a certain end of our friendship & that would be unbearable.

Our emotional affair.
In the quiet shadows of shared glances and unspoken words, our emotional affair unfolds like verses woven into the fabric of clandestine emotions.

A dance of feelings painted in hues of secrecy, where the lines blurred between what was said and what lingered in the unsaid.

Each stolen moment a stanza etched in the margins of our lives, a prose poem of longing and connection, composed in the delicate syntax of stolen time.
Our affair tears me apart. So very near yet so far from hearts full connection. Not knowing for certain how she feels. 😢

Heart of fire
In the quiet chambers of my soul, a fervent flame dances, fueled by the whispered winds of her name.

a timeless poem etched in the language of devotion,

Cowardly?
Beneath the new moon's gentle gaze,
I wander through the labyrinth of uncertainty,

In the tapestry of moments, I seek whispers of her sentiments,
wondering if the stars in her eyes mirror the constellations of my own yearning.
Leaving me questioning
“Does she hear my heart….?

God please,
Let my subterfuge

Lord grant my heart no rest.

Whispered Love
In the language of the heart, my love for her weaves a tapestry beyond words.

It's an unspoken symphony that echoes in the quiet moments, a silent promise written in the stars.

If its depth could be measured it would be an ocean without shores,

boundless and eternal, where every wave carries whispers of affection.

Palpitations
She holds my heart securely within her grasp
Thus far she has no knowledge of her potency.
For her to have awareness of her cradling
My ardour, my affections,
May risk an arrest of  my hearts loving palpitations
For she may leave,
And then my hearts light would be extinguished.

In the gentle embrace of a sun-kissed evening, Her presence becomes the very essence of enchantment. Her laughter, like a melody in the wind, dances with the graceful cadence of a thousand twinkling stars. Her eyes, two deep pools of blue, hold secrets only whispered to the moon, leave me lost in their captivating allure.

Every step she takes leaves an imprint on my heart, a path of warmth and tenderness. In her touch, I find solace, a connection that transcended the realms of ordinary existence. Time seems to slow in her company, as if the universe conspires to savor every stolen moment.

Her spirit, a delicate blend of strength and vulnerability, radiates a magnetic charm that draws me closer, like a moth to the flickering flame. The way she cares for others, with genuine kindness and empathy, paints her as an angel among mortals, a beacon of compassion.

Each gesture, each word she speaks, paints vivid portraits of affection on the canvas of my soul. And in the quiet corners of my mind, I dream of moments yet to come, where love would bloom like a garden of roses, and our hearts would entwine like vines in an eternal embrace.
I speak ofAnn, a name whispered in the silence of my thoughts, it carries the promise of a love story destined to be etched in the stars, forever bound in the timeless tale of two souls entwined in love's sweet embrace.

Ann’s Christmas gift...
Its the way she looks into my eyes....
Standing there she talks to the three of us staring into my eyes...
Through me, into my soul,
Radiation, that burns the chambers of my aching heart...
Burning away any doubts I had of her feelings & sending me once again tumbling into an oblivion of passion.
And then she’s gone!
Her trap has sprung!
Once more she has me trapped in her web of longing...
Woven and
Hooked on loves longing.

False perceptions??
False perceptions??

Olfactory:  Your scent on my pillow
Auditory : Your whispers gentle in my ear
Tactile: Your lips so soft against mine
Visual: Your reflection next to mine
In my hallucinations, you are mine
I daydream of wooing her, hearing her say that she loves me, holding her, our fingers intertwined, shared passion.

One kiss....
One kiss....

Love is just a kiss away dearest Ann....
Just the gentlest of touches between thine lips and mine....
One scintilla is all it would take for us to fall tumbling impetuously in love.

The cosmos has conspired for our love to be manifest
From Genesis our love was destined to ignite,
One kiss would kindle an already unspoken passion into a roaring inferno of love
A conflagration of devotion,
romance and daily yearning would be ours....
She is my vision of loveliness. Yet the emblem of unrequited love

Silent Magic
What is this sorcery that this woman has meted out to me?
Hypnotised, weakened, I somehow stumble through my day.
Shadows of people, echos of conversations pass through me and all I feel, and reflect upon is her.

I assail her with a thousand repentances “release me from the ******* of simply loving you”
But no, mutely, she pierces my heart with her maleficium, enslaving me in rapturous yet desolate unrequited love for her.
Ann’s enchantment weaved it’s spell upon me this evening when she visited & chatted to me.

Unspoken....yet
I hear your spirit so clearly my love
It bawls at my heart and my soul  
Telling me that you are the one for me
You take  hold of me with talons of passion that have ensnared every ounce of my flesh and spirit .
Please take me my sweet
Devour me, all of me, gaze at this beating heart I hold precious for you.

Life without you is death
Death within you is eternal life
I just desire to exist in the invisible, unspoken love that I have for you.
I wrote this after a brief conversation with Ann. My heart & spirit were aflame with emotion for her. But she doesn’t hear,,,

Ann #2
Ann  has ignited a fire in my heart
That previously was a smouldering ember, barely alight
She has sparked a fire that consumes,flares and roars when ever I say her name or think of her

Her laughter fans the blaze
A smile that chars my soul
Fingertips leave stigmata upon my skin and kisses scald my lovelorn heart.
This fire is out of control, love it’s fuel
And my passion it’s heat.

Her words piece my heart leaving a luminous stain which spread  like a red dye of passion flooding through my veins until every corpuscle glowed with a radiant luminosity of love for her.

Staring into my eyes gently she fanned these embers of love within me into flames that consumed my soul.
Words formed by her are indistinguishable.
As my heart takes control of my conscious brain

Let me enfold you in my arms!
Tenderly smother your cheeks with kisses, smell your hair and whisper words of love.
Oh but we could be together, sharing our remaining years-My Queen!
My destiny!
My eternity!!

I could write you a poem but it would never be good enough, for you are a poem

I could write that you are beautiful but my words wouldn't do you justice.

I could write how important and special you are but your value exceeds human understanding.

I could write how wonderful your mind is but my vocabulary is insufficient and weak

I could write how **** you are,
That my body belongs to you,
But my body, my self is unworthy
of you

I want to tell you how deeply I love you
But I'm unable to describe the depth of the oceans

You are the collective works of Yeats, Keats, Shelley and Tennyson.

Yorkshire Logic???
"It'll never amount to owt"
As they say in Yorkshire.
"Ahh mean, 'ers 'int love wit 'ere ole man
'Ant thou's married too!
Giv ova 'ant grow a pair son....."

"I know, don't you think I've been thru this a million times in my heart and head"?
"But I can't give up on her, I haven't told her my feelings, I couldn't.... She'd run a mile, and I'd lose a friend, my heart would shatter into a trillion pieces"

"Aye, but 'ere know thou's sweet 'ont 'ere"
"Lassies know such things"

"But she teases me, leads me on,flirts with me, manipulates my heart".


"Nowt good will come of it I'm tellin' ye,
It'll all end 'int tears...probably yers too"

"I know that at my age I should know betta,
But no age is exempt to love"
I cling to hope,
Each and any crumb that might Indicate that she'll allow me to hold her in my arms
And kiss her..."

"So take your Yorkshire logic,
Your Northern pragmatism,
I can't see the wood for the trees in this 'affair' I know
But I live in hope that one day
She'll tell me that she loves me..."

Addiction...
My lovelorn heart is full of passion after sharing time with you.

I want to dress you in sensuous  words of love & disrobe you with dancing fingers of passion.

Every contour of your face is etched in lines of love on my bursting heart.
Waiting to be translated in kisses should you allow.

The nape of your neck invites my attention
Her jewellery embellishes its kissability and tantisizes my fantasies.

I hang on  every word...
Watching, ****** like as your tongue  and lips form words.


Your spell upon me was cast millennium ago but I never knew it
I feel it coursing through my veins
Like a embalming drug, chilling​ me to my marrow with desire

She is my addiction and I'll never have enough....

Unrequited
Unrequited,
My love that can't be be told, shared nor returned.
Brought into the open to bloom like a summer flower.
Yet, she knows of my love...
And mocks me by her teasing and leading me on.
For she is married and so am I
She feels safe but I am empty
Alone in a relationship of two...

God, I know what I feel is wrong
But does that preclude me from your intervention?
Ease my torment
And remove this chalice that
Holds the wine called "unrequited".

Desire...?
When I say "I want you..."
I don't mean I want to make love to you.
No, I "desire you"
I want to hold you in my arms
Holding your cheeks to tenderly kiss you.
I want to irradiate your body with delicate kisses that silently whisper my desire, to illuminate your loveliness

Just because you're in my mind last thing at night
First thing in the morning , doesn't mean "I love you"
I don't think so anyway....
No....I want to hold you,
To be close to you
Caress you, hold your hands
And kiss every finger over and over...
With every word, every line she was in my heart. The sentiments caused so much heartache that my heart was close to bursting so on auto pilot the words poured forth.She is unobtainable, my unrequited Lovely One.
My verses are for her & I’m unable to show her

You have me in the palm of you hands....
Cupping my heart and my life, balancing my heartbeats on your finger tips.
in which hand will I be held today?
Will you let me slip far enough to give me a scare?
Only to keep me for later and reel me in and place my heart in your emotional 'keep net'

And that's it isn't it...?
Whenever you want me you know I'm there, waiting for your call, your summons.
And I respond like a lap dog, a pet who secretly adores you

Every night as I lie in my bed the voice...
It screams your name inside my head
No matter how I try to block you out
You ultimately conquer my tormented spirit

Yet, paradoxically without this voice I am lost,
Hearing it, I am found
For in this brief moment we are together
Until reality kicks in-I'm transported to your room
And there you are....
In bed with him....
And my heart lies broken...
The Lovely One...my unrequited one. Does she know my feelings for her?? I cannot openly declare them...the stakes are to high..

Infiltrated...
At the most random, inappropriate times she enters my mind,
The unrequited one, my desiring, my love.
At these times she fills my mind, my heart
Tricking, coursing slowly through me
Filling me with images of her,
Recalling her last words and texts.

My pupils dilate, my heart palpates
My imagination wanders "what is she doing at that moment?"
Did she think of me?
I think not....
But....
Forever I will love and desire you.
