The Rough

What can one suppose
All the time spent
Kicking
This diamond
Cursing the dirt and bright light
Playing for fame
Not the love of the game

A Day

Let the soft, feathery white
Float down
Over your eyes
Throw prayers to the wind
Blow kisses in the dark
Vow love
Call it

What if I saw tears
Of a heartbroken true hue
Would I crash for you

Invisible flag
I lay claim in the hollow
Unrequited Love

Who doesn’t think time
Will soon whisper to us all
I’ve lied for too long

Used then discarded
Rubbish now or recycled
Into your new life

Love cannot look

As strewn doubt
And decimated rock

As supplanted fear
Amongst trust’s ghost

As words, bright and dark
And words alone

Love cannot be

I
lied. For
I wish
you loved
me.

A soul set aflame
A heart that stirred when hearing
The sound of my voice
