Loss
Loss – whatever form it takes
Runs with cyclic momentum
Through a passage of time
From the crushing initial shock
Reality’s illusion
Through corridors of anger
Emotion’s vent
To the perplexing roller coaster
Surging up; collapsing down
Until acceptance swims
In the calm waters of serenity
With a readiness to live on
As broken hearts are patched
Scaffolded and built to pave
The new tomorrow
Which today we call hope
The Last Lament
I cried a million tears
More than stars up in the sky
An ocean of my salty drops
To weep until I die
For such deep lamentations
Have left me lost in grief
And nothing will abate the pain
Or bring any relief
For endless sobs now cascade from
My eyes and drown my heart
Obscuring any happiness
My world now falls apart
And so I yearn to leave this world
The loss I cannot bear
For with you gone – my love; my life
There is nothing out there
No reason to live longer
No air to take in breath
So with the last true act of love
I cry myself to death
Disappointed
Disappointed was the best word
Upset too strong
Let down too weak
Just plain disappointed
Trust betrayed
Hope severed
Promises broken
Saddened maybe
Frustrated definitely
Disillusioned almost certainly
But disappointed just seemed to sum it up
Disappointed!
That word hung heavy
They simply didn’t deserve him
He neatened his tie
Sighed
Picked up his books
And left
Never to look back
Sonnet to Love Lost
Your love that shines forth as a summer’s day
Across the seas of passion wild and free
With rays that warm, that sing, that always play
Your heart that bleeds rose blood always for me
The petals of a flower that never fade
The sky that holds the universe as one
The depths of love that swells in life’s parade
The sun that warms, the stars my soul hath won
But yet you walk, you turn and disappear
Your coldness like the icecap swiftly breaks
Your eyes empty, indifferent not so dear
Your love now lost; your heart in tidal wake
Still I will know that you have once loved me
For love holds true in all eternity
