I know now
You did love me,
You just had a different way of showing it,
Through gifts and acts of service
That didn’t speak to me.

I know now
You did love me,
But we were different people
Triggering each other
From our past histories, hurt and pain.

I know now
You did love me,
In spite of your atrocious behaviour,
But we were two different people
With different values and expectations.

I know now
You did love me,
And it’s tragic
We couldn’t make it work,
But enough of the arguments, control
And lack of trust -
A cornerstone of all relationships.

I know now
You did love me,
And I wish you well
And truly hope you can overcome your demons and challenges,
And find the right person
Who loves you
For you deserve happiness.

I know now
You did love me.
And I loved you.

Lost amoung love's haze
There is a price I must pay
love left me astray
Love lost... truly.. heartake hearts... I want others... not to be trapped behind these closed doors.... praying to and listing to music to soothe my soul... put this flame to rest.. also a off branch of my first poem "love lost"
If they didn't want you,
then that's okay, because,
You will be Alright,
and you will see
a brighter day,
You shall have
no worries, nor
any dark clouds of gray,
just move on with your life,
cos, you didn't need them anyway,
You thought they were the reason,
that the Sun Shined so Bright,
upon receiving the dreadful feeling,
of darkened, restless night's
What was a time of Affection,
of a Deep, Deep LOVE Connection,
Has turned the relationship sour,
Into a trainwreck of pure Destruction,
So go on and let them go,
if they feel they want to leave,
You will be better off without them, and now, you can finally breathe!!!!

The turmoil in my thoughts is still unending,
I want to write and tell You since we met,
The certainties produced have no dependings,
Nothing any more seems to be random or a guess.

She made memories taste of cigarettes,
From when I liked to smoke.
She was addictive like Barbiturates,
And recklessness, and jokes.


900 hundred zeroes couldn’t count it,
The everything I feel when I'm with You.
I could climb thirty dozen mountains
And come back never knowing any simpler truths.

Red Wine was our breakfast of Champions.
It's always later than you think she used to say,
Quoting a Roman sundial for a Reference,
Or perhaps a forgotten song by Doris Day.


You are the only lamp lit in my room at night.
The only shadow I cling to in the dark.
I make you up as a reality in 20/20 foresight,
It is destiny you'll be the best of me in my Stars.

She cried once when the Tide went out,
Saying it made the Beach look ugly and afraid.
Every Full Moon at Midnight was the crescendo of a shout,
Sun Risings and Sun Settings only moments in The Game.


How do we know, really know, what is Love's cause -
The unknown unknowings we haven’t tasted yet,
The gap to freedom under all locked doors,
Keeping us prisoners in our innocence nonetheless?

I hear my dejections in these echoes,
My own hope's reverberations off these walls,
This little poem (a loneliness) a Song from Once Ago,
And Her mystery, the Enlightenment she brought.
