"Does it hurt when you see him with his arms around another?"

"Why yes, yes of course it does.
What type of person would I be
If I felt no anger,
No hurt,
No pain,
From seeing the man I once loved with his arms around another?"

"But why does it hurt
When you see such things?"

"Well,
I think it's because
The sight of his love beaming on someone else
Makes me ask one of life's most difficult questions.

Why was I never good enough for him?"

We Stayed Up All Night Talking

We Stayed Up All Night Talking

We stayed up all night talking,
in an ethereal haze.
How long ago now?
Two summers,
I think.

How the time passed,
As I sat hidden,
Underneath my bed sheets
So no one could find me,
Talking to you.
You were my little secret.

We stayed up all night talking,
And you told me
Bits and pieces of your life
That you probably told everyone
But they meant something to me.

Tales of woe, of love, of life and passion
Wilted between the keys
Of our cellular devices.
Words exchanged in the dead of night,
That we could pretend didn't mean anything
come the morning.

We stayed up all night talking,
yes, two summers ago,
And had I known back then
What I know now,
I would have locked my heart in pandoras box,
And thrown away the key.

I would never have let myself fall in love with you.

Dreaming Of You Again (Tanka)

Crickets Chirp At Dusk,
Reminding Me It Is Time,
To Climb Into Bed,
And To Shut My Weary Eyes,
To Dream Of You Once Again

Not That I Really Want To Anymore ):

I've Been Howling (6 Haikus)

I Have Been Calling,
Across The Timber And Plains,
I Have Called Your Name

I Have Been Wishing,
Lying Underneath The Stars,
I Have Wished For You

I Have Been Searching,
Deep In The Trees And My Heart,
I've Searched For So Long

I Have Awakened,
To A Dawn Cold And Lonely,
As The Notes I Sing

I Have Been Waiting,
Waiting For So Many Moons,
For A Glimpse Of You

I Have Been Begging,
For You To Take Me Away,
Please.. Take Me Away

I've Been Needing You

Wilting Inside

Wilting Inside

The Pearl Pink Petals Of My Heart Are Wilting,
Their Silk Like Skin Is Turing Rough And Rugged,
Recoiling They Abate Under Your Frostbitten Chops,
I've Wished For So Long That Your Flush Pink Lips,
Would Tenderly Kiss This Flower Called, A Soul,
I Handed You This Treasure, Warning You, Softly
That It Was A Million Pieces Just A Short While Ago

But As You Held The Semi-Broken Artifact I Saw,
That Indeed You Had Thrown Caution To The Wind,
That Your Hands Were No Longer A Nest, But A Cage,
You're Eyes Were No Longer Hazel, But Gray,
And The Way You Whisper Goodnight Was Not A
Joy, But A Hate, For I Knew I'd Be Serving You For Another Day...

Just Jumbled Thoughts, It's Not Much Of Poem.. Forgive Me, For I Have Been Saddened

Thoughts About Fall Approaching

Thoughts About Fall Approaching

The Sunsets Were Turning Gray And Colorless,
While The Songs Of Birds Vanished More Everyday,
The Lush Green Of The Fields Turned Brindle,
As The Leaves On The Trees Grew Brown And Brittle

At Dawn Crickets Shook Off Their Frosty Legs,
While Butterflies Thawed In The Weakening Sun,
The Scent Of Fallen Leaves Had Took Hold Of The Air,
As Winter's Fingers Tickled The Rolling Hillsides

I Know Its August.. The Year Is Going By So Fast, Fall Is Getting Closer And So Is The Up Coming School Year.

Yesterdays Come And Go

Yesterdays Come And Go

Where Have All The Yesterdays Gone?
Do They Mingle Among Beds Of Flowers,
Or Do They Hide In The Saltiest Of Seas?
Do They Soar Upon A Raven's Wing,
Or Dance With The Honey Bees?
Do They Trudge Along A Rugged Trail,
Or Are They A Whisper In The Breeze?
I Intend On Finding Them,
For They Hold You And Me.

Dreaming Of You (Triolet)

You Have Come To Know Me Too Well,
With The Charming Blink Of Your Eye,
I'm Held Captive Under Your Spell,
And When All The Light Has Drawn Nigh,
I Can Still Hear The Ancient Knell,
Ringing Throughout The Nighttime Sky,
And As I Ponder What To Do,
I Find Myself Dreaming Of You

I Decided To Do A Triolet With A Rhyme Scheme Of An Ottava Rima:) Hope You Enjoyed:)

Mirror Me (Tanka)

Your Blue-Grey Eyes Sit,
Cozy Upon Your Flushed Cheeks,
As Your Nose Crinkles,
While You Laugh With A Smile,
Mirroring My Own Complexion

Nay VutheikunLam

I.

Your eyes glazed over,
Glued to the television screen.
While I lay behind you crying,
I am unseen.

There is only silence,
All I feel is pain.
And you dare not speak my name.

We are distant,
Never touching.
Curled up into a ball,
I become nothing.

Clicks and clatters are the only sounds you make.
Let me sleep forever,
Never to wake.
