UNREQUITED LOVE. HOMEWORK FOR INK WELL WRITERS’ GROUP

A life time has passed since I last saw your face
Your beauty and strength still haunt me
I wonder where you are today – flying high somewhere in this great universe
I carry your broken heart in my pocket, next to mine
The pain I caused is alien now
If I could travel back in time and mend our shattered dreams…I would
Your pride is immeasurable – too big to forgive. And yet, I am just a whisper away
Why did I leave a comfy chair for a rickety old box?
I have no answer; just regret
Do you recall my love, our life-time pact?
I hear your mellow voice telling me you will be with me in spirit always
We dovetailed like a baby in a mother’s womb; inseparable
Were you blessed with deep love again…did she touch your Soul?
Did she make you laugh; did she do that silly Charlie Chaplin walk; did she?
Today, I long for your love again; just like Dante’s dream
I am without your love, but love knows no laws
This confession may never reach you
The possibility of reconciliation gives me a glimpse of heaven
The impossibility, Dante’s hell…

INTUITION

Indigo sky tonight, beautiful, as a young maiden
She pirouettes across my path
Her spirit is my mother, or, is it my grandmother?
I cannot tell – I cannot see – I can only feel
Intuition explains the inner psyche of man
Not tangible or real; just a fairy tale
My pilgrimage is complete – I have walked the journey

Loss of a friend

A sorrow shared is a sorrow halved.
Shakespeare

FRIENDSHIP

Friendship is a wonderful thing – hold it with both hands

Its value is priceless – far greater than gold

Sometimes life’s journey throws us to the wolves

Trapped and bewildered inside a spider’s web

The unbreakable thread hooks us in its grip

Disoriented and invisible, in a transitional state

One day my friend you will become whole again

When you’re feeling weary  and life is haunting your Soul

I’ll  climb this mountain with you and gently float you down

I won’t judge or condemn – that’s not what friends are for

Your murmurings I’ll hear –  when the jungle drums  beat from afar

I’ll hear you in your quietness and see your crying eyes

Fear not my friend – look up to the sky

Your Star is there – all you have to do is…SEE…
