A Truth of Love
Theresa M Rose Jun 2014
A heart; Exspose; Drowns.

Reaching above
Sinks...

Doing nothing...
Deadman; No float.

A heart must learn... to tread.

Doggy paddle.

Big Bang
Theresa M Rose Jun 2014
Ethereal;
Is such…
A singular
Touch.

Permeating
Beyond
All…
Boundaries.

Of Time
Of space…
no memories...
Erase.

Just a tether
Beyond...

The consumed;

Along Breezy Point;
Theresa M Rose Jun 2014
Standing…
Where once
was you.

I gaze out…
Watching…
Waves
… gently roll.

I dream.

Sounds
… of the sea.

Feeling of sand.

I close my eyes
And…,
Again
Here you stand.

A touch
… on my hand
Takes me;

In a moment
Just a moment
I am free.
Free, to go
… to long ago
When…
It was you…
Who was wanting me.

Laughing lovers;
Dawning sun;
Gentle spray
… from the sea.

Suddenly,
Words...
“ I love you”

A moment of joy
Turns…
To tragedy.

The Longest Night
Theresa M Rose Jun 2014
I hear
His heart
Beating.

Here…
Across the room.

Twinkling lights;
The Yule log;

Parcels…
Shimmer
Beneath the tree…

I can feel… his smile
No-one else
… in view.

He…. recognizes
A need
… in me.

Oh, am I a fool;

Everyone
Sleeps
… now.

Christmas…
Christmas,
Soon will dawn;

He looks at me
I am
… his little present

What… we do
… is wrong.

He sees…
How… I want him.

He holds me…
And, tells me…
Go away

He grabs me tight
He takes me
To him…

I am merely play.

Runaway…
Theresa M Rose Jun 2014
Runaway, runaway,
Runaway home.

Alone in a crowd;
No place to be alone.

So far… from familiar;
The familiar is never here.

The familiar is a dream
A nightmare… I fear.

Alone… in the darkness.
Alone… in a crowd.

Heart’s forever screaming
The silence is… too loud.
Motions and smiles
People strolling …along the bay.
They walk all around me
But, I hear not… a word they say.

Runaway, runaway,
no place… but alone.

Alone in a crowd.

Alone;
And… on my own.

Fills the room.

Beating.

Echoing

Silence
Theresa M Rose Jun 2014
Four am.

Rain softens
… along the path.

Puddles…
Still; Silent; Dark;
… free.

Noises…;
A sleepless city
Hurries… beyond a stony gate.

Vehicles hasten … to destinations
Unknown;

Couples laugh
… under umbrellas;

Only I
And…
Raindrops
Know…
The solitude
Here
… in the park.

Wispy mist
Pervades
The darkness;

Puddles…
Begin to dance;

Retreat;

Here.
The air …
Peaceful; Silent; Content;

The rain ends.

A cool fragrance…

Memories…land
Like a summer-storm
You… overwhelm my mind.

Time moves

Like…
A single solitary raindrop

Falling
… into a puddle;

Along the walk
Lamp-lights
play… in ripples

Memories;
Laughter…
Tears…
So many years

Gone…

The return of warmth…
Held
… within
An exquisite tingle.

A peaceful chill;

A smile surrenders;

Darkness holds
… another day;

Once more
… rain falls.

Embrace
Theresa M Rose Jun 2014
Warm,
Still mist;
Predawn haze;
Sentimental journey;
Long abandoned days.
A walk along the jetty
A time
… so long ago;

Memories dance to droplets
Aimless… to
And through;

Colorful lights …
Playing;
Sound…;
An amusement fair.
Gentle summer rain…
Silky night air.

Open umbrella;
Dew, embracing…
The breeze;
Air teeming rain
Tears...  now freed.

Thinking…;
It was here.
A moment
Just… like this;
Lost within arms
A soft… quivering kiss.

Toes dig wet sand;
Time steals ... in the haze;
How is it… now
Years just slip away.

Child of the Aurora
Theresa M Rose Jun 2014
The great raven owns my soul.
She flies me high against the winds of time.
I hold no more malice toward her claws.
She clings to my heart.

She allows me no room to feel free of my darkness.
Now, I seek no longer to find the sun or the moon
that she has taken from my world, so long ago.
Now, I see the peace of her flight.
Now, I welcome the journey her black wings take me on.

Into the sweet icy air ahead,
I look.
I feel the most embracing sense of joy.
I smile.

I see the dance of my ancestors.
They ride the skies over the frozen homeland.
Swirling colors in black skies.
The skies I have seen for all these days.
I hear the call of all that the wings have taken before me.

Now, I see her not as the thief of a mother's child
but as the flight of the protector
A protector of lost spirits as I as a child have been told.
I raise my arms and reach out for my greatest joy.

No more fear,
No more loneliness.
NeKraRa!
Reunited at last.

Dreams
Theresa M Rose Jun 2014
Only dreams…hold me.

Silence; …in your arms;

A gaze… brings panic.

Thoughts…spring alarms.

Time; Steals…memories;

Darkness … steals the day.

Relinquished moments… to silence

Rain

… falls away.

Your arms…

Wrap around me;

Lost… are years.

Only dreams… hold me.

breathe
Theresa M Rose Jun 2014
More than a day
Less than a night
As long as a lifetime
A single breath takes flight.

With the warmth of a kiss
The caressing of a hand
Burning is the passions of red flowing sand.

Life is but a bird
A single breath in flight
And all will fly alone
When the day turns into night.

Sublime.

Take a moment;

... A Tune At Sunset
Theresa M Rose Jun 2014
I hear… a sonata
Echoing of a breeze
Time’s… retrospective
… whisperings in the trees.

Leaves dance to shadows
Stars pivot in the night
Either holds to beauty
Secrets… held up-to light.

Leaves play to sunshine
Stars perform to night

Leaves dance in sunbeams
In the breeze … they’ll hop and play
If you watch the silence
You will see of what they have to say.

The stars play loons to moonlight
Hear the darkness… in the sway
Twinkling pitches of silence
they’re secrets are all on display.

No time is there for hiding
No place to be out of sight…
So the secrets are held in view
Performances with the light.

Daydream
Theresa M Rose Jun 2014
I sit alone along a stony brook.
I weep, for all my lonely sorrows.
I conceive of what my life has took,
And, I wish not to know any tomorrows.

I gaze on down into the flowing water's stream
And as I sit in my tears, I conjure up a dream;
And as the stream accepts my tears,
I try to ponder what this dream could mean.

I'm walking in a timberland,
and it set near a woodsmen’s mill.
And, with the flowing water's rushing sound,
it makes this dream seem real.

I see a miller's wheel, and it's turning high and round;
It squeaking high above my head.
And, when the water flows down down to the ground,
It is then, I see the water is red.

The water is red.
This seems strange but it is true.
And down there in this deep red water,
A soft little white lily grew .

It is as white as snow,
And as white as new
And here it is dwelling,
Inside this deep dark red pool.

Oh poor lily,
Now, it is changing to pink;
For of this cold flowing red water,
This poor little lily did drink;

Poor little flower,
This little lily is heavy from its drink;
It goes down down under the water
The lily did sink;
Into its red red watery grave.

I Reflect back on to my stony flowing stream.
I do ponder of what this image could mean.
A tear falls from a burning eye;
I sit here in my melancholy
And, I wonder why;

Embers, Along The Shore
Theresa M Rose Jun 2014
Receding waters;
Caress the sand.
A heart's hush
... as to love.
A time's measure;
An old rhythm's refrain.

Cool pool; The sways of nature;
Gentle scent,...a flow of tears.
Flickers of dreams riding tides.
In the night... a touch of years.

Empty shallows... holds a peace.
Time's echo… fellows foam.
Now, lingers
... without the moonlight;
Still,... stars dance;

I 'm not alone.

And she sings a happy tune.

And she flies high in the glow of the moon.

And she is priming her soft feathery breast.

I see the old grey alley cat,
And she's put them all to rest.

Nestling  through the mist.
Sunday morning fog
Tingles as a kiss.

The melody of the sea.
Longings  beyond  the tide
Desires to be free.

Quiet  breaths whisper
Delights of long ago.

The gentle dawn’s aglow .

A lone path accompanies
Beside the breathing sea.
Moist, sandy footprints

Mirror

Mirror, mirror,
You are standing against the wall.
I look into you to see me
But my eyes they do fall.

Mirror, my mirror,
Oh how i wish you were my friend.
But there's no one looking back at me
When it is i that is looking in.

Mirror, oh mirror,
Why must this be?
When i look into your cold, cold glass
i can see none of me.

i see what was,
And all who have shared in this sad old core,
But i can see not i.
For i am no more.

Though there is always a tomorrow
On life's most wavy shore.
For me, i can see not a ripple
As i stand here on this lonely floor.

I am here looking in to see what image there is left of me,
But i can find there is not a trace.
For when i look into your cold and rigid stare,
I can see there is only an old stranger's face.

Mirror, poor mirror,
How i could feel for thee
You stand here looking out, and what do you see?
Is it, could it, could it really be me?

Mirror, you silly mirror,
all there is i feel is your cold and icy glaze.
Is this all there is for me,
for the rest of my days?

Mirror, my poor, poor mirror,
i look in and i can no longer endure.
Oh, with my ******, ****** hands i look down;
Now, you are merely shards of glass lying on the floor.

Neptune's Touch
Theresa M Rose Jun 2014
He touches my heart.
He has made me free.
He's taken me by my hand,
He makes me see me.

I now see all that I am,
And all that I could be.
He's taken me from my watery desert
To the shores of a new wide open sea.

Oh how I have yearned,
To spread my wings in flight,
But for this pierced dove
of a long drowned love,
The world,
It was too deep in night.

He raises the hands that enveloped me.
Hands that have guided me safely to this shore.
And now,
He opens his hands, so cautiously
Allowing me a chance to soar.

I lift up my wings,
I feel the breeze
And now,
I begin to rise.

He has shown to me
Who I can be
And now,
I no longer see the lies.

I sense you,
Sensations awaken…
You inspire.

Nearing
Are the embers.
Neutralities
Sparks a fire.
You are,
The aura…
To this phoenix.
And, it is you
You that will bring the flame.
You give me abilities to fly,

Beyond the sea and eternal sands
It is you, I feel
Your touch…
Without a single hand.

You’ve conquered my fright
These feelings of endless night.
It is you…
who makes me glow.

I feel
Such a resurrective ember.
I yearn so be free
To surrender
And it is you
You’ve done this to me
You make me
Burst
Into flame.

Such a force it is
you give to me
filled with overwhelming intensity...
You’ve done this to me
fill me
With intensities… and I am…,

I am,… a Phoenix song.

Forever for me
because of this
You see

You are
And always
Will be

With You, Caesar

My words I say, “I love you!”
You smile to what I say…
You,… reach out
I reach for you
Than,…
You turn and start to walk away.

“There is nothing going on here…
Not by the light of the day.
Only when there is no one looking”
These words are what you say…

“You are only here for now
That is,
If it’s,…
What you want?”
My heart’s exposed
If I want?
You,
you know my heart…
Now,
Now,… is where I stay.

You say to me,
“ I want you.”
You hold me
I feel… these words are true.
But,… before too long
Your embrace grows strong
Then,…
“What?…
What is it… did I do ?”
Abandon!?
Abandon,…
Abandon is where I be…

You wait,
till I’m up and walking…
You look at me …In your way.
You know my heart
It's torn apart…
I see you.
What…?
What is it… can I do?
Now,…
Now,
Is where I’ll stay.

You hold me tight…
I feel safe
As long as… I’m in your arms.
Still, its only in the shadows
How can this bring me harm.
So tender are our moments
Til dawns new dew light ….
Then… you go

You hold me tight
My love,…
You rule my night
And You,… you leave me
To rule my day.

You say to me,
“I never want to hurt you”
Words…
How can these words be true?
You say these words … as if you mean them
but it’s not by what you do…
You walk right in… girl in arm
And, I hear your whole family say
At least your not with… no one!
Here I stand
Nobody
I am nobody at all, today!?

You tell me,
“ I had to bring her
You heard what the family’s said.
I can’t just be with nobody.”
I only turn my head…

You,…You made me nothing
(Nusquam praeter a meretricis.)
I am Caesar’s ***** …
I'm here crushed and alone
… Before all of Rome
What other feelings
Can there be.

I turn from you
I walk away…
I hear your voice,…
“I love you! “

I cant believe,…
How,… how can these words be true?
What more can you take… from me?
What more is it… will you do?

Abandon me… abandon me…
Is my heart’s cry.
I hear the words
” I love you.”
And ,…I merely wish…
I could die!?
So many times
You’ve turned from me
But now,…
I am turning too.

But…?!
You grab me back into you arms…
You hold me hard
You say,
“ I love you!”

Oh, Great Caesar,
You know my heart…
My heart
Belongs to you
You make me want…
I,…
I belong to you!
My heart says …
‘ Now!’
Oh, what now?
What is it…?
I am suppose to do…

Now, with me
You are gentle
You’re attentive, loving and kind
Still, I am but your shadow
And,… of Rome I am
Nusquam.

I fear… each day…
The days slip away
What more
Of me
Will you take…?

To all,
I am a no one.
Nobody… but to one.

All I have you rule
All but this, Isis' sun.?
Will you now take this too…?
Will you now take
leave me without
A heart.

Rome now takes to rumors
Our secrets… feed their delight.
Now,… is hard
My mind
Grows marred
As my days collide…
With our nights.
You tell me
Not to leave
“ Don’t go in today.”
If only…. I’d pay heed
But,…
I went along on my way.

Great and mighty Caesar
Daggers are now
On their way.

They will take from me
My night
And try
To take my light away

Now,..
Now daggers…drip red
Now, Mighty Caesar
My love,… is dead.

And I,
I exile...  to Egypt.

Nature... of Caesar
Theresa M Rose Jun 2014
The heart rises;
The heart falls;

The heart needs;
The heart calls;

You answer;
It’s merely the wind.

The heart yarns;
The heart pleads;

You smile…
At the breeze.

And, ... simply shut the window,
… as you leave.

When You Love
Theresa M Rose Jun 2014
I watch her
Caring for him.
He readies ... himself
To leave;
He says,
It's his time…

Time,…
Time's too short... when you love.

Each morning
A cup of coffee
Before first light...
The birds awake
To a garage door opening
Dark vacant air hovers...
A new day... begins to dawn.

“ He’s looking better… “
She starts the car.

“ Maybe he’ll be… able to come home. “
We turn onto Airbase Prkwy
Not a soul...
There's just a flashing light
...on the horizon.

“ Maybe…
He’ll eat something…
Today.”
“ Maybe he’ll… “
She stops...

The car… becomes hollow.
There is only
A ticking…
A turn single
Left
... Echoing.

I look,…
I see…sitting behind the wheel
A little girl
Tears falling
Hoping…

Time,
... is a fragile thing.
In silence
Not a word…
Just ticking…
Left.
We wait.

Red
Turns
To green.

Car pulls in
Flashing lights
Ticking
On and off
On and off.

Sunset comes
At dawn...
It’s... his time.

Time,…
Is too short
When you love.

Fair Sails
Theresa M Rose Jun 2014
An imminent storm;

Conceals…
Sweet enticements
… of a setting sun.

I stand alone;
… along the boardwalk;

I wait…
For your return.

Bellowing clouds
Roll towards the shore.

The alluring sea;

My heart
Begins to pound.

I look out.

Approaching rain
Fills me with…
Memories.

Rolling sounds
Thunder draws near.

Beyond…
A heart beckons.

Beyond…
This… precipice;
There... is you.

Anticipation.

Cold rain
… fills the air.

The boardwalk…
A stage of dancing tears;

My eyes close.

I smile;

The sensation…;
Your touch!

My flesh tingles…

I tremble…

I hear...
Choppy waves lapping
... along the shore.

My mind drifts;
Rudderless.

Casting waters…
Accelerate; My very heart.

My heart sees…
Salty foam
Thrashing…
against the jetty.

Sounds of thunder
Pulsates... though the air;

Through me!

A bird; Sings.

And,…
I’m alone.

I am;
Alone.

Waiting…
Theresa M Rose Jun 2014
“ There’s No mustard…”



I call
A dark hush… fills the hall.
A ticking clock… echoes
Your voice… does not Return.

A reminder…?!

Time… abandons
Those who lag behind.

The world moves…
Without...  a note.

A life,…
A story
Gone…
Without... read
… or wrote.

How is it…?

An end
…with so many pages
Left…

The Way of Poetry
Theresa M Rose Jun 2014
Words land;
The spirit flies…
New life
... is born;
And,...is
Immortalized.

What…
Does it bring
To remember
… the spring.

The pain
The joy
The romance
… of a thing.

Happiness
… of dew
Scratching rays
… of the sun
The tears... of remembrance
When...
This day is long done.

Writing of the words
The moments
… of the day;
Experiences
Crystallized…
In its Melodic sort a way.

With the blood of the dove
And…
With a parchment in hand.
Words…are
Given wings;

Now,…
Poetry lands.
