Insomnia
Sleepless nights
The moon beams loveless
An empty ache within
lost in a realm unseen
Softly it kills
Swiftly it finishes
Consistent and nightly
Sweet dreams diminishes
Clouds of shadows
hide the sparkle in my eyes
dilated pupils in the dark
silently eaten apart
At home yet haunted
with past after past
I often offered love rejected
I am worn out at last
Admired but unaccepted
Too much yet never enough
Wanted but unworthy of commitment
Embraced yet soon given up
No rest and no restlessness
breathing the numbing darkness
These are my consequences
my scars and secret wars
Sleepless beauty
damsel in distress
bound upon a tower
My heart and I
both longing for slumber,
Waiting For The Unsung
I have nothing to say tonight
I bite my lips
I shut it tight
If poetry is my gift
It is left unrecited
Only to let you know
I’ve made my mistakes
still, I waited
If only somehow I could say
I still waited
I can’t seem to find
the traces of your face
Who you are is a mystery
I wasn’t meant to chase
So, I’ve been saving you
love songs unsung
I left it unheard
Written only for the man
with the melody to my words
If only you could
feel me pray
feel me wait
I need your song
I was always told to choose you
I think I was once shattered
I can’t remember
There were dreams out of the ordinary
they lead me to believe
somehow you exist
I was healed
to be with you
So, our stories would intertwine
just so we would say
God, your gifts are sublime
I have only known love aborted
I keep bringing it to life
only to let it die
Not this time
Now, I hear it playing
From the distance of the unknown
From the heights of heaven
to the depths of our souls
listen to the sweeter song
a beauty yet to be sung
a love song yet to be heard
it’s waiting for us
it’s just a matter of time
