Battle of the exes
Fight to the end
Final landed blow
No longer a friend
No longer civil
Trying to lay blame
Wherever they will
To avoid the shame
Of a bonding fail
That might be due
To their actions
Don’t continue
To hit out at me
When I gain zero
Can’t fix this mess
Neither of us heroes
Neither of us evil
We just tried and fell
Fell short of the goal
But no need for hell
In trying to point fingers
To assess exact whys
Dragging us to negatives
Make us each other despise
Stop this tirade
Just rest and calm
Move to be still again
Don’t attack or self harm
We’ve both learned
Both added to heart and mind
Repair and heal
You will another find
Mountain Love
Climbing through the clouds
In the cold but feeling warm
Ascending blessed snowy Mountain
Between two loves my heart is torn
One is with me on the chairlift
She provides the slopes on which we play
She’s magnificent, majestic
A towering peak in every way
The other sits far from my location
But inhabits every corner of my mind
She’s independent strong and caring
Driven, creative, organised and kind
Love of one need not remove the other
There’s no conflict between the two
But by playing with my mountain
I’m left wondering what she’ll do
See she’s built a life that’s happy
A weak and broken person, she is not
She doesn’t have to miss somebody
She is contented with her lot
To me, she’s absolutely amazing
Capable and so much fun
I’m relaxed when ever I see her
Even though we’ve just begun
In time I hope that she might love me
Without conditions but in her way
I’d like to make her tea and breakfast
Hold her each and every day
I’m attracted to her wholly
Feel in sync in all ways from the start
I have faith we can solve anything
Enjoy a life supported in every part
Time apart is required but painful
Hoping to see her when time has passed
With one love, thinking of the other
She from the first date to maybe be my last
In Our Bond
Connect as one with me
Bound in thought and deed
Hold onto one another
In our bond, be freed
Talk about what you want
Released from all constraint
Trust that you’ll be heard
All thoughts can be explained
Believe in what we’ve got
Believe this might be true
It’s you I want to know
My heart is full of you
Try to be Happy
Some things in life are simple
Some out of your control
You can overthink it all you like
For a lot, you’ve not got a decision making role
But there are some steps more considered
That result in big forks in the road
Where a choice will lead to change
Build paths anew, make other paths explode
The pros and cons can be listed
You have to weigh the good and the bad
Consider the impacts on love ones
Maybe gamble to find the thing you never had
It’s not possible to see the outcome
You can see the damage to be caused
So such decisions need time
Not taken lightly, they cannot be forced.
In the midst of a dilemma
Overcome by concerns and fear
Sometimes the decisions are still simple
Follow you heart, be yourself, keep hope near
Be all you can be
Try to be happy
You will do the right thing.
More Than Anyone
Blessed with the joy of hope
When new heart feels all that is to come
Elated promise without constraint
Love you more than anyone
Perhaps an empty vacuous high
Like dreaming on the furthest star
This time substance might be there too
There’s a chance, this is right
Can’t put my hand on it
Can’t grasp why I feel what I feel
I’ve no basis to be in this emotive state
But this infatuation might be real
Melancholy’s Veil
She’s stands alone near tube train rail
Forlorn and low, under melancholy’s veil
Her eyes are dark, devoid of light
Her heart a shadow black as night
Whomever she has lost or left
Her soul was torn, her hope bereft
A broken woman, sad and meek
Lacking the will to live, too weak
To raise her head or meet your eye
She shrinks from life and wonders why
Her path became so overgrown
To force her down, all on her own
With thorns and ghosts and things to fear
No way out, and no one near
Her footing lose, no way to climb
No meaning, no plan, no positive sign
The tube arrives and on she steps
An empty shell since she left her ex.
Physical Love
Hearts pulse
Pressure raised
Synchronised
To one phase
Flow and motion
Harmony
Coursing passion
Serenity
Sparks jump
Ecstatic bond
Physical love
Firm and strong
Infatuation, real?
Blessed with the joy of hope
When new heart feels all that is to come
Elated promise without constraint
Love you more than anyone
It’s an empty vacuous high
Like dreaming on the furthest star
This time substance might be there too
There’s a chance, this is right
Can’t put my hand on it
Can’t grasp why I feel what I feel
I’ve no basis to be in this emotive state
But this infatuation might be real
Leavers Remorse
Going through the motions
Looking like I’m really here
In my head I’m away with you
A last dance filled with fear
That I will always be alone
Just me, no partner, no sound
I miss you terribly; it’s pain
I fear never having anyone around
What if I got it wrong
What if my sights are set too high
What if I shouldn’t have ended it
Shouldn’t have reacted the other night
We’d be happy now, with hope
We’d be making love once more
I’d be able to be present in the day
Knowing “an us” was in store
Incomplete and Happy
It’s wonderful to be incomplete
To not be done, be on a quest
Searching, changing, learning
This won’t be as good as it gets
There’s more in life to go for
Even if you’re happy with your lot
Have joy in days and nights
Appreciate all that you’ve got.
It’s good to want, dream big
Not feeling absence, seeking more
A solemn vow to find someone
To embrace, together life explore.
Fulfil your heart felt desires
To be you, be seen, be loved
In time to find an intimate one
Who is all others placed above
Until her hand I find, with faith
There’s joy in every forward step
Incomplete and happy,
I just haven’t found her yet.
