Red rose behind a closed door
Standing in empty space
I know, because I've seen it before
Phantom tears wet my face
I never notice, always too slow
Always yearning, never show
I walked with death today
It was quiet, nothing to say
I broke the fog of silence
Asked for mote of guidance
But what came to pass
An aide-memoire of contrast

She's the morning sun
A life of fun
A day of bliss
A lovely premise
With a soul so free
He's the shade at dusk
A lifeless husk
A day of rain
A promise of pain
What does she see in me?
#WritingCommnunity#poem#poetry_planet#poetrycommunity
Amidst the storm of change
A lonely soul takes to stage
In front of an empty crowd
Breathing deep and load
Heavy rain to rinse the shame
Frigid hands set the sage aflame
#WritingCommnunity#poem#poetry_planet#poetrycommunity
I don't fear death itself
I fear what I would miss
Is my happiness out there
Or is the cosmos taking the piss
I've been slowly dying for years
My mind is turning primal
With eyelids of lead
I'm waiting for something final

To know her
You must learn her
Feel her words
Her every emotion
Learn why she is the way she is
Learn her scars
How she got them
Learn her language
Learn how she sees herself
Why she feels the way she does
Understand her past
Her mistakes
Her regrets
But don't use it against her
Sleepless nights welcomes me
Dark and cold as could be
Thoughts of dreams fill my head
Experience death but not stay dead
When the light is long gone
And strange aeons have come
Will there be a god to witness the Fate?
Will their absence be worth the wait
