#missing poems on Hello Poetry

it’s the age of technology
yet i don’t even have ur phone number
you could leave it in grocery bags
you could leave it outside the store
i just wanna feel something
i wanna be part of something more

it’s the age of technology
you still left me on read
you heard every word i said as i spat them out
you listened to my every cut bleeding
and you patched them up
i just wanna hear ur voice again
i just wanna remember what we had

it’s the age of technology
yet i couldn’t feel further away from you
you could contact me in less than ten minutes
if you ask around
you could cackle like ravens with me
if you made one sound
i just wanna feel you on earth
i just wanna be part of something more

and it’s the age of technology
yet ur a pen and paper
i reject you as i type on an iphone eleven
losing the pressure of pressing on the ink
and it splattering everywhere
i just wanna reunite
i just wanna be alright
don’t give me a paper cut this time

Send me a message
It takes less than five seconds

O forgetful!

Some haunting memories
recurring every alternate day,
Stopping only to breath
to start afresh,
To play longer
this game of torture,

I dream of a dream in a dream
running helplessly to extinguish
the fire on my back,
Scratching the burnt shirt,
wallowing in sand & dust like a dog,
And when nothing helps
jumps into a muddy pond,

Like a theatre actor I'm
playing my part,
my role in my body,
I've transformed into no one now,
I live nowhere
But in mind,

I'm doomed, O forgetful!
Only because of remembering you.

the missing accents

the missing accents (in a poem composed in French)

~for Elisa Maria Agiro~

are neither missed nor lost,
are neither essential nor essences,
for the heart of the poem dazzles!
for the life well dreamed, dazzles!
the simplest truth needs no spices,
life, it is glorious, the glorious spark
of god, living and breathing within us,
no matter the language, no matter
the accent, that is our mission!

Wanna Meet Up...

oh, what i would give to sing a duet with you in the fog of the early morning
wrapped up in love and stable in every way
to grow a kiwi tree from the part where our hands can’t intertwine
and chant “forever”
i will hold your hand when death is gripping your ribs and slicing your existence in half
i do miss you so
and your champion complex
oh, what it would mean to me if we could combine our feelings
let’s become a commonality of emotions
draw me in the teal light of your ambitions
i wanna cheer you on in your accomplishments
can you give me your hand
cause if you do then we can swing in the branches of the sycamore and glow like fireflies in the raw moonlight
and sleep soundly in our ataraxia
dazed by the fondness of our evergreen admiration
i still love you and i still think about you
just give me the word
or a call

Come back to me
Whether it be in ashes or with open arms

I miss you, I miss you, I miss you
I miss you so much
It makes me feel as fragile as a tissue

That would tear from the weight of my tears
That shed the pain of my love
And release my deepest fears

That allow the ability
To persevere.

i’ll break your heart even more than you broke mine, you slimy creature

in the desert of denial
i lay frozen
caked with sweat
drenched in doubt
in flames across my sore chest
lifting weights
with all my body
always hurts the next day

how come you won’t call?
i’m drinking cherry juice
as i sit patiently
by the display of the
christmas tree
wining like a baby
why won’t you call me?

left up in smoke
in ashes
blue silk pillowcases
i lay beside the parkway
and i imagine decadently
the sweet tea
us together could have
sold in the new bakery
are you still at that old school?
that is the only way i would
ever forgive you
twisted, dreadful, spiteful
capitalistic vapor
i still smell the musk of your cologne
on my couch at midnight
and i’m entirely sick of it

i wanna slap the sense out of you
drag you across the ***** airport floor
and force you
inside of flight fifteen
suffer with me

I miss you....

A long night

Im a little low
Im feeling blue
Im lost for words
When I think of you

Through the forest
And over the hills
When I think of you
It give me chills

I’d move a mountain
I’d run a mile
When I think of you
I remember that smile

When I think of you
I lay in bed
I can not sleep
After what you said

Apart Together

.....I here, you there
.....Apart together
.....Our love a bed
.....full of missing

On my way home
weak from desire
for all days
with our family

.....I here, you there
.....Apart together
.....Our love a bed
.....full of missing

Wild, wild horses
cannot separate us
Wild, wild horses
we will ride

.....I here, you there
.....Apart together
.....Our love a bed
.....full of missing

- "Wild horses"
- "I got the blues"
- "Moonlight Mile"
Songs on the Album "Sticky fingers" (1971, The Rolling Stones)

holy ground

i woke to your eyes again
the deepest blue
like gazing into the ocean,
seconds before the storm comes in.

the truth is
i find your ghost at every turn
and still feel the cool waters
of your touch
with every whisper of the wind,
each memory a living phantom.

now i know
not even the holiest exorcism
could pull the threads of you
from my mind
you are the bread and wine
the iron in your blood
pulling me in
sweeter than any nectar.

- you kept me like a secret, but i kept you like an oath.

here is a place

~

here is a place
my heart comes to mourn;
a place where these thoughts
are seldom my own.
a place frozen in time
your face covers these walls;
a cold lovers waltz
still haunting these halls.
a window through time
i am left to adore;
here is a place;
i will love you, once more.

~

i hope your still smiling, wherever you are.
