A weep of fate


There was a man sat on a bench, waiting for his bride to arrive;
There was a woman outside a church, wiping the tears from her eyes.
Today was the day his future bride would have arrived;
Today was the day her husband had lost his life.


The tears that poured down from his eyes,
Created the puddle in which her reflection lied.
Her smile told of beauty, of love and of radiance;
When inside all she felt, was the end of all romance.


She handed him her handkerchief and asked what was wrong;
The words fell from his mouth, unwittingly like a song.
His bride, he said, had not arrived.
His heart was broken; his love-life had died.


She offered him comfort and he thanked her for caring,
Then she spoke of her lover and his death left her crying.
As the two of them talked, she embraced all his words,
As she realised he was just like her.


She suddenly stopped and apologized for talking,
For she had come over in the first place,
To maybe aid him, whilst she was herself in mourning.
As he told her his tale, it saddened her to see,
The man was still in mourning, for his bride to be.


One year before, in a collision with a car,
She too had died and floated away up into the stars.
Coincidence, this may have been.
Two lovers were now lost, to never be;
But with a simple twist of fate, new lovers would exist…


Their misery had given them a connection.
Their love was so strong, it left a lasting impression.
Now twenty two years later, at the graveyard she weeps;
For the twice widowed woman,
Has lost her man of mourning in his sleep.

It kills to be so close, and yet so far.
She lives inside my mind invisible, and twinkles like a half-seen star.
Only words shall transfer forth, and it’s a misery of sorts.
No face shall I see, no flower found to bloom.
Only a corpse of memory sealed inside a silent tomb.
Where one is blunt the other is bashful.
Where one is close the other is far off,
watching like a seagull.
I watch her like a dream sealed inside a glass case,
I’m not the kind to break things...

Speak to me about the way the wind hits you.
How the air of your mind is stirred.
Give me a taste of your soul music.
That I may fly aloft like a bird.
A rustle, a whistle, through the boughs and brooks
of your words fall pitter-patter
on my attentive eyes and ears.
A dream of heaven; an after-life.
A wish for peace, and a cease of strife.
Yet I shall share a vision of what has always been.
A connection to the infinite.

If you picked at my brain theres alot you'd find, trust me Ive spent hours tearing apart my own mind. Again here I am tripping over a new path full of old fears, that have never resided- always here. Demons that hide behind the trees- the same ones under my grass woven bed- monsters beneath rocks
and in my own head. They strike ruthless with open jaws- tiny little flesh searing bites that tear the fabric of my being apart.
Inside, underneath the ribcage and sinew-ache our sad little hearts. At the potential that we could lose this, let it slip away like tiny silk threads- the happiness. For the connection we share, heavy enough for my feeble back- is the also cross we've chosen to bear intact. In the brightest of days- comes the blackest night. And through the darkness and pain my instinct is fight or flight; I dont mean to hurt you.
But looking out for ones self is something we all do. In the end we all lose
for fragile paper thin hearts such as ours are easily bruised
You know,
I'd never want to make you choose between being with me and doing whats you

But,
for now you care enough to walk with me
along this path of life though so unforseen
you look those monsters in the eye when they reveal their fang shaped teeth
and always just remind me to breathe.
At this time, I suppose that's all I need
but I pain over the fact that I can't still be sure of you and me
Last night ******
Dont think he really enjoys me all that much
Oh well
I guess we have that in common

I want to write a poem
like the conversations we once had,
a poem lasting two hours
(with brief interruptions
for loss of service)
written
as you sit on a train
read
as you clean your room
covering every topic
trivial and deep
for the pleasure of talking.

[I want to leave

blank spaces
for the pauses

comfortable silence
when I listen to your breathing]

I want to create images
on paper
of nothing
of doing nothing
of what I had for dinner, what’s on TV
and know
that none of it matters
the words I choose
are not important
the contact
the connection
is all.
I want to live on my own, by my own person
I am ready to begin my life without the pain
I am fighting to keep my head above water
I am trying to delete you from my life
Throw out the pictures and drawings and poetry
But I can’t throw out the mental pictures
The emotional memories
The verbal poetry that reverberates in my ears

I can delete you from my computer
I can throw away the pictures and poems and paintings
But when I close my eyes, you’re there
When I go to sleep you’re still there
When I walk around my cold lonely apartment, you’re there
You are still all around me and I don’t know what to do with it
I don’t know how to let it go, even though I have tried

I have tried seeing other people
I have tried dating other people
But no one feels right
It doesn’t feel right
They are not my best friend, there is no connection
They are not right, nothing in my life right now is right

i.

Into her oriental soul I crept
Quiet and cozy into her warm nest;
She grabbed me by the tie
Unfastened mine vest;
Released all mine unease
Freed me from disease,
Gaveth me a plate
And filled all of me.

ii.

She beckoned mine being
O' Brandon mine king;
She whispered, she glimmered
With a wave of starry mink.
Hypnotized I was, whilst in her presence
I kneweth she was mine, whilst in mine state of evanescence.

iii.

Her islander essence
Dripped through the phone;
Her voice, her speech, her laugh, her tone.
She was the one, mine blood, spirit, and home;
I'll dieth for her today, and again tommorrow if thou doth not knoweth, for her do I groweth: in limelight connection.
She is mine path, mine whole- and other half,
She is God's apostle to me, tis she's mine purified direction.
She is mine Queen, empress, Earl Jane nagley mine bliss, the ultimate ressurection.

i think maybe you'll always be someone
who takes up a small amount of space
in my heart. sometimes i feel like i cannot control how
often i think of you - it's like a bad habit i turn to when i remember
that we happened once. and so i go looking
at pictures of us so i can prove to myself how happy
we were. even though we weren't happy,
but if you look at a picture of two smiling people
long enough you can convince yourself
otherwise.
you won't talk to me now, we haven't spoken
for six months. i've tried reaching out but you never
respond. i can't say i blame you, but i think it's just really tragic
that you can have such a strong connection with someone
and grow to care for them so much in such a short
amount of time - and when you don't give them what they want
from you, they all of a sudden will never
talk to you again. and they don't give you any
warning. i can't say i miss you, but i suppose i miss
the way i could make you laugh or the way we talked about
real things. maybe the silence between us just makes
me lonely.
i hope you're happier than when i talked to you
last.
I never knew how much a being can love,
But..
So much that everything is possible,
And yet..
Impossible.. Like atoms,
And the difference when they are seen and unseen,
I have not yet explored what all is to come with our love,
So I feel the same as those little particles that make up our world,
We have that unseen and seen type of connection,
I hope you understand. :)

When you first sang those words, two starts exploded as one
Am I strong enough to let go, can my feelings be undone?

I can see through to your soul in those deep gentile eyes
It grabs a hold of my heart, I am forever hypnotized.

Your thoughts are so compelling, our connection is so true
You make my whole body still, I am amazed by you.

I know I cannot have you, I must put everything aside
But when I see you smile my whole world is upside.

Now I am weak, but I need to be strong
I am forced in the shadow where I now belong.

I will always love you no matter what life brings
At least we will be together when one of us sings.


We long for the untouchable we desire what is denied
The love that last the longest is the love that’s unsatisfied
You are forbidden to me
Nicole Jul 2015
I've said I'm sorry so many times
But even a million words couldn't mend the pain
I've hurt you much more than you deserve
And I have nothing but myself to blame
I know you deserve the world
But I've given you nothing to prove it
Because every time I overthink
My mind spins and I lose it
But I can't let you just leave
Without first admitting how I feel
You asked me to explain why I like you
I didn't say much, but these feelings are real:

The way you nestle into me while you sleep
And your peaceful face make me weak
Your addicting laugh's sweet melody
Makes my smile appear unknowingly
And the way you smile after we kiss
It's a moment I never want to miss
Your desire to protect my heart
Proves you'll never rip it apart
And when I opened up to you
Without an obligation to
I knew I would find my way
To fall in love with you some day

It's very rare that you discover
Someone who thinks like you
And though you're absolutely stunning
Your mind is just as beautiful too
I try to explain how my feelings are
Yet my thoughts never seem quite tangible
After many failed attempts
I know our connection is unexplainable
Words may never exist
To show exactly how I feel
But I swear you've caged my heart
In a home of impenetrable steel
And I'm happy there
Even if you don't feel this way too
You have my heart
Because it only longs for you.
Kayla Hensley Oct 2013
I look over at you
At your arms entertwined around mine
As you lay your weary head on my shoulder

I feel your proximity
And I revel in it
I crave the warmth
Of my palm in yours

It is now
While I am waiting
For you to mention something

It's obvious
There is a connection
And it thrives between us
Like an electric current,
Beautiful and deadly

It's when you place your hand
On the small of my back
And it comforts me

I know you're there for me
And I'm here for you
We'll stand together
And face the world

Your dark brown eyes
Are alight with humor
And I find the humor with you

You show me perspectives
I could never have considered
I can be myself around you
And you will accept me

I may not have mentioned
But I love your silly,
Cheesy nicknames for me

I love how you tell me I'm beautiful
Even when I won't believe it
You keep me happy
And teach me how to actually live

I love that you're taller than me,
That your hands engulf mine,
That when we talk,
Your eyes stay on me, fixed and focused

I want to reach out
And stroke your cheek
And push away the hair
That has fallen to your eyes

Others say to stay away
They say that you're no good
But I disagree
You're all that's good for me
Someone spoke to me of a disconnect
and I recall or recollect
a moment in another time
when fast of mind
I paid no heed nor had a need
of anyone
a disconnected one?

I'm not sure and that's no surprise
can't see myself through my own two eyes
but that too is quite alright
if you live in the night what can you expect
but to become and be asked are you
disconnect?

So the answer
I cannot tell you,
who could
who would willingly be as disconnected as the disconnect in me
and what if anything would they see?

I do wonder though how could you tell
or how could one know
just where a disconnect would go
to get plugged in to start,begin
to reselect the connection
to reach perfection?

Someone should tell me
I want to know
get myself undisconnected
and though not quite perfected
I am a work in
progress.
i love you

not one to one
but everything
that ever was

souls touch
connected
by a deep connection

to something
other
than
self

you,
or i
everything
we ever were.
Tylie Nov 2013
I sit here
and see those all those lost eyes.
lonely souls passing by.
There is no connection
just an infection
that gives us tension.
We are lost in the complexity
of this multi-media society
too much variety.
what will save us?
bring us back to the hush
For we need to stop..
smell the fresh air
see the leaves everywhere
because nothing can compare
to the hush
of slow
****** nature.

The colour scheme conjured up,
from a byzantine conduit.
The contrast between source and creation.

The intricate motions,
from neural explosions.
Come beauty, from human equation.

The songs that move people,
born somewhere cerebral.
Emotion drawn from vibration.

But the human connection,
through two minds' affection.
The most ethereal artistic sensation.
Each night I hope and pray-
our love is here to stay...
My heart couldn't take any more breaking-
it's had enough of that old familiar aching...
You've become my best friend-
who'll be by my side til the end...
I could feel the connection on our first date-
and I realized us meeting was by fate...
Our story was written in the stars above-
He knew we were meant to fall in love...
As I laid in bed alone that night-
I wanted to be held in your arms so tight...
It came to me without a warning-
how I longed to be with you each morning...
I didn't know I could feel so much-
but now I yearn for your loving touch...
You've shown me complete devotion-
I feel it in every emotion...
Now I dream of becoming your wife-
and being with you the rest of my life...

In the darkest pit of my stomach
There is an insatiable hunger
An unnerving ache to satisfy my need for rapture
A primal and beastly urge
Eager to gently nip at your tender flesh
Unquenchable thirst to drink in your love
My appetite for you grows with each passing second
Anticipation teases my senses
A craving to be ravaged only by you
Completely at your beck and call
A slave to pleasure
Desperate to feel the sweat trickle down your skin and drop onto mine
Desperate to taste the kiss of desire with every pulsing, throbbing vein in my body.
Desperate to loose all connection with this reality and transform into an animal of lust.
I devour every glance, every touch, every caress as if it were thy last
No satisfaction for me
Until our earthly and heavenly bodies are enfolded into one
Unable to see where you have ended and I begun.
Sidney M Nov 2012
If i could draw back the curtains and stay in the trance
The rain droplets would fall and we would dance
we would dance among the tears of old hearts from long gone lovers.
Teaching us the rules of coercion as they role down our shivering bodies.
Moistening our clothes to stick to us like our kisses
We choose not to listen because they don't understand our connection.
The Integration of two explosive mathmatical functions
Conjunctioned links of trust that run between us that even the great code breakers couldn't fracture it.
The sensibility and passion I see on the canvases that you percieve the world with.
Stakes my drifting desires for anything more than to just be with you .
Evan Hayes Dec 2014
You remind me of the connection
We held with such conviction
Even the smallest of things
Turns in to the biggest of likings

I want to hate
To repress the fate
I've made in my mind
That you were mine
But how can I hate you
You cheer me up when I feel blue

Our biggest problem wasn't us
It was tall, dark,  and contagious
Dumb, jealous,  and dangerous
Friends are full of trust...
*******

Opposites attract
Just as light refracts
To make something beautiful
The love was gone, I was full
I was impatient
I was swimming in a pool
Of jealousy and misery

My one chance of something real
Something rash I did seal
Cards given on the wrong deal
If I had only waited another meal
Emm Feb 2018
Same old bed
Same old mess
Same old self,
same old, same old
...

Different time
Different expectation
Different people
Different connection
...

Trapped in the possessed power of the passed
memories
Those, who never asked
to

Different world
Different place
Unfamiliar stuff

Ahead of time
Out of rhyme
No one to blame

Aging on,
Here's your stick to find your path
in the dark
Shuffle on,
travel on
...

i would like to speak to you in prose, not verse.
for what in verse most carefully metered
cannot with ease portray what my heart longs
to spill.  and while your words most eloquently
express the beauty of your soul filled vision,
sometimes, rough lines spell out best
the truth of who we are

ethereal music has its place in the stars,
that castle of dreams, of visions afar
but hands that dig in dirt, mold the clay
of our connection, binding moon and star

tell me more of who you are...

Thumbs up
                                                                          On the side of the road
Where human connection
Was founded
Soul to soul

But today
Human worth is created
Over a sea of binary

01101100 01101001 01101011 01100101 01110011

Instantly gratified
With the facade of finery.
You know, as much as I can Rant and Rave about how much I hate ***, I don't hate it with you.
Something about that night, and the next, really changed me.

I realize that it wasn't *** that I hate, it was the lack of meaning behind it.
I love you, and I know that I love you, I have loved you for years, and that made it worth something.

Spending those two very short nights with you, and that one very short morning changed my life.

I realized there's still a connection to this world that I can achieve, existential boredom hasn't gripped me entirely.
I can still find passion in this world, and something to fight for, and something to create art for.

I have reasons to not throw a bullet through my brain, and every day tastes
a little bit sweeter
knowing that you, people like you, and things that make me feel like I feel when I'm with you, exist.
So bring out the passion, let it flow through our veins, and grab Life by the Lemons(horns).

Because there's nothing stopping me now.

I'm going to take what I want to take, and by God, nothing is going to stop me.
There's passion in the world, and I am going to find it.

Sitting in a darkened room,
Hacking at your wrists,
It seemed you thought to slice them,
Would also sever your connection to reality.
But little did you know,
The pain was mine.
My heartbeat got fainter,
With every new scar,
I began to hate myself,
For not being able to help.
And as you got lower and lower,
It felt as though I was trying,
To lift you from below.
And as I fought,
To give you more time above water,
I drowned.

You call, but the water drops behind me are crying too loud for me to hear
Water drips down my body as I peek watching you call for the first time in my register but in your register the third
I switch off the water to answer your call that has no connection
Aii, I finish up get dry and call again in my room but no connection again
You call to ask if we chilling I said yes, you tell me "cool I'm coming to bye"
In a cracky voice I ask "forever", you say yeah, with tears hiding in my eyelids I say "okay"
I sign you in, not with an excited heart this but a heart filled with sadness
The elevator ride makes me even more sad, because you extend your care by asking "if I'm okay?" and I lie "yeah", not wanting you see the drip coming from my heart
Time to say bye
You greet the rest hand-shaking, fist-pumping, while you do that I wonder around with a sad face not so ready to say bye
My turn, oh no, I don't want to...
I'm expecting a fist pump, but instead I receive a warm tight hug from you
You hugged me so tight, whispering in my ear "don't miss me too much"
Oh my, I can still feel your breath echoing in my ear...
And little did I know that this hug would be our last..

When you lose someone you try to remember the last time you saw them. And most of the time it's a blurry memory because at that time you had no idea it would be the last...

A good spiritual connection
Through the silence
When the initial lust is gone
And someone who wants
To walk you home
Just to be sure you will be okay
I like stimulation
Through speculation
Of the world around
And a little taste of adventure
Even in going to the shop
In the rain. I want to feel
Like I'm safe with that person
I might be a little intense
But I've come to the conclusion
I'd be turned on by someone
That wants to see my intensity
And I want to feel they appreciate
What turns me on
Enough to make them try figure it out
And think a little more
Than they usually do

With her jagged edges she stands,
gazing upon the connection between the well versed,
as her language remains misunderstood,
dark and chaotic.

Her edges are sharp,
and grooves are too deep.
The rhythm of her heart
& blood pulsation
feel out of orbit.

An outsider,
an outcast
trying to jam to fit in puzzles;
blunting her edges,
painting herself with different hues to blend.
Yet within she is out of tune.
Barry Hill Oct 2012
The connection I seek seems to be in vain
I shout to myself so no one can hear
the trivial trouble and the mindless complaint...

Why am I not perfect?
Though, it soon disappears

The riveting road of desperation
keeps my mind in escalation
watching the seemingly happy faces walk by
I look inside as I begin to sigh

We can't enjoy the life we have
if all we do is compare
We can't begin to better ourselves
if we don't delete our despair

Enjoy who you are
and don't look back too far
but be better than who you were yesterday.
10 minute poem? Probably not that great.
Whoever said distance makes the heart grow fonder
was a **** liar
or, maybe, they had a stronger heart than mine,
which is likely.
I smoke too much.
Either way, it doesn't seem to apply to me.
Distance makes my heart forgetful.
Somehow, I've only just realized
it's been twelve days since we last spoke
through words on a screen.
Fifteen since your voice was last deconstructed
and sent to me through signals in the air that I breathe.
Months have passed from that day you don't remember.
The day I said goodbye;
my heart heavy with finality.
How is that possible?
How can I go days without thinking about you?
You were the fox to my hound,
the Piglet to my Poo,
the Abed to my Troy.
I said once that I felt our connection was severed
and I think I actually understand what that means now.
It means when I saw an old lady
drive her car through someone's lawn,
my first thought wasn't how funny you'd find that.
It means when I listen to our favorite band,
I no longer recognize the lines you love.
It means that when I think of family,
there is no one left.
It means my new neighbor no longer offers me sugar
because I don't look so bitter anymore.
You were the last person I had.
Now, all I have is ghosts and a forgetful heart.
that quote is mostly used to reference romantic love, but i figure people probably apply it to friendship and familial love as well, so there.
Roberta Day Jul 2013
I’m tired of silences,
lingering and vapid,
exhausting our connection waiting
to be founded by our lips too busy
sipping distilled influences so
that we might have the courage to
give ourselves away
Promise me your gaze
by showing me some truth
and swear on your last sip you've
never been this exposed
Confide in me your current thoughts,
despite the dancing static generating
from the nerves bubbling your insides
Let's spill our guts rather these beverages
and soak up our regurgitations
with dry expression, absorbing every
last bit of dejected rejections
Speak erratically and emphatically;
my preference is your face bolded
with a gleam in your eyes,
quotationed brow, and when you blink,
I'll drink your experiences, glean your aimless
journey, until I'm intoxicated by your
imperfect perspective

"Leaves Walt's past me  touching upon
water graced with a reflection undisturbed
by my longing  across from mines.
Fated to be separated with a full moon
that Expresses the distance in which we stand.
The night being the only cloak for our forbidden love.
*How I wish at this moment I was a leaf
floating closer toward a face only
compared by the stars behind
it that try to match the beauty that

*surrounds eyes skimming water that is only *
*the beginning of what separates us ,but at
the deep of this river we can be side by side so
let us both sink at the same moment
we saw each other and realized we were unjustly
separated by a pitch black river with a moon resting
above our connection as our feet break the
icy length between us......."
