Love Poems - Stars

Celestial Bodies
At times
Align, collide
Provide mere mortals
With paths
For our lives

Stars assign
A fate
So that I may
Make, the most
Of my time
Day by day
On this, small planet

But stars will
Part,
Mere mortals
Hearts
When drawn together
Is an ill fated sign

As star crossed lovers
In history pay testament
To heartache or death
Passion may lead

But would we choose
To meet under foreign skies
Forgo the pain that from
Great love, arise?

For the stars make us both
Enable our hearts
Draw us together
Yet pull us apart

In your eyes alone
Do I see my desires
Do I find my passions burn
That parted by stars
For you I still yearn

So celestial orbs
Put forward your might
For lovers take heart
And dare still to fight
In hope and in passion
That ill fated night
May be overcome
And make their love right.

Poems - Words

They say that
"Words will never hurt me"
But I doubt
For words can wound me
In a way
That violence could not dare
To boast

Often words can cut
Like glass shards
Across my skin
Like fingers down
A chalkboard
They make ears bleed
With the din

And oft I long to hear
Sweet words on offer
From you
A symbol after all
That you may
Still care

But absence
Silence
Strikes a chord
No sound shot
Like an arrow
To pierce my ear

Oh, and words decieve
As I remember
Whispered clear
Your promises
Now lay broken
Shattered my heart

Symbols all
They are
Drawn, designed
Delivered
Like "Letters"
All they announce
Is of a silent war
Between head and heart
Abandon arms
For I will talk no more.
