the ocean in her eyes

had finally dried

she tilted her head

toward the sky

the sunlight

flooded her

with warm thoughts

a ghost of a smile

danced across her visage

Cupid’s arrow doesn’t pierce armor

Waited longer than an eternity

But he never showed

No knight on a horse

Romeo under the moonlight

Serenade love songs

Pen love poems

Love locked

Walk with a poker face

Pretending I don’t care

Cupid’s arrow flies

Doesn’t hit the mark

I stand on the shore

Relationships sail

He doesn’t meet me

Not even in dreams

From a distance

Is he on the other side of the moon

Impervious to Cupid’s arrow

I march alone

Lost in reverie

That’s never real

On the sidelines of love

We’ve never met

We’re as far as the moon is from the sea

Beauty looked at her reflection

to her it wasn’t perfection

she was no doubt the fairest of them all

she took the looking glass and threw it against the wall

she wanted to see her reflection no more

as she laid on the bedroom floor

crying tears of sorrow

she didn’t care about tomorrow

others saw beauty and grace

she saw a distorted face

beauty was broken

like the shattered piece of looking glass

She lives in her head

such a crowded place

on the edge of reason

A Rose shaped hole in her heart

she walks through a haze

talking to the moon

minuscule mustard seed in her pocket

dreams at her feet

lost in a sea of people

voice too small among the din

a maelstrom of emotions

she swims in tears

she lives in her head

such a crowded place

I have a mundane existence. There is no variation in my day to day doings. I wake up, go to work. Come home. Repeat. I feel pressed down. I actually feel a plethora of emotions. The lost of my mom was the deepest cut. Feeling really alone in this world of 7 billion. She was the person I could talk to the most. Now I’m in a house that is falling apart, filled with clutter. I spend some of my off days chucking stuff in the rubbish. But I really need to hire somebody to move this clutter. I really don’t have a social life. Never had a dating life.I feel I’m unmatchable. I don’t think there is anyone out there for me. I don’t have any guy friends, so I really don’t know anything about romance and such. I’ve been single all my life. I guess I probably always will be. I suppose I never put a lot of effort into romantic pursuits. I have put a lot of effort into trying to be a writer that gets published. But so far that’s been a bust. All three if my manuscripts, rejected. Maybe my fourth will be the charm. It’s still the only dream I have. I really would like to achieve it, even more than a relationship. I once tried self-publishing. Sold ten copies. Spent eight months on dating sites. Facebook friends with a guy, who lives in Canada. Spent thousands on hair growth this and that. Still can’t rubber band a strand. I will end my mundane musings here.

Dressed in mourning

sipping on tears

thinking of the sunrises missed

words unspoken

a heart torn in two

there are no more birthdays

just rain soaked eyes

the evening breaks

the heart isn’t whole

thinking of your sunset

the laughter stopped

there are no more tomorrows

just the mourning

on an autumn day

my world turned iron gray

as you drifted away

leaving autumn colder

than December

falling leaves

can not go back to the tree

I couldn’t bring your

breath back to you
