Tick-Tock of the Heart

To the Muse:
How are you my love?
Have you slept well?
Did you cry last night?
Remember that last goodbye--
When you said goodnight
And I turned around with a
Heavy heart.
Choking on the emotions
I was trying to deny.


To the Guardian:
How are you my love?
Have you slept well?
Did you smile last night?
Amidst the bright and neon lights;
The music, the rhythm,
The endless, tempting melody
Of the crowd, of the lovelies
As I remember those times
We spent alone,
Together.
Too short time together.

Should I Write You A Letter?

Should I write you a letter?

A song, maybe. 

Lyrics that fill my head everyday.

You can do the music,

For I am bad with tunes

And flailing with instruments.

Should I write you a letter?

A song about summer.

Or maybe about fall?

How about spring? 

That day I'll always remember.

That night I'll never forget.

The Last Dew of Spring

We met last spring not knowing what destiny will bring
Your mind met mine; so did our hearts become combined.
We felt a mélange of emotions that can almost sing.
A single dew tapped our lonely hearts – uninvited.

Our lives turned into a mystical labyrinth; twisting.
Spring brought levity to our souls that were battered.
And we vanquished; conquering all the pains and crying.
Another dew fell on our tamed hearts – unexpected.

Flowers came to full bloom, so did our hearts come knowing.
Brown became green; in our hearts, we felt love embedded.
Savoring the strange emotion was just like dreaming.
Spring dew came rushing down to our hearts – unabashed.

Now, the lovely cherry blossoms are slowly drifting,
By and by, you’ll be leaving me, and my heart, shattered.
And as you bid your goodbye, I will be left shivering,
The dew which once warmed you and me, now all cold—chilled.

Now, the last leaf on the tree, once jaunty, now struggling.
My willow heart, once mighty, now scattered.
Once sheltered with your love, now so alone and hurting.
The last dew of spring glided, burned my heart – unwanted.
