Empty soul
published: Sunday | September 28, 2008

I rolled over and sighed,

another sleepless night,

another meaningless day,

another tribute to pay

to the loss of my heart

to the loss of your voice in my ear

which I fear

will never return

no matter how much it burns

I can't change the past

I can't make it last

oh I wish ...

but wishes hardly come true

dreams do

its tearing up my mind

eating at my soul

will I ever become whole?

Once again to feel

what was real

in my mind

in my arms

all those charms

were they fake?

how reminiscing makes my heart break

how I shake

how I cry

was I living a lie?

Was I caught in a trance

of bitter-sweet romance?

someone please wake me

I can't see this through

how can I live a life I thought was made for me and you

and now with you gone ...

I sit here and sigh

wiping another tear drop from my eye

facing the facts that there's nothing I can do

now I roam an empty soul

waiting

wishing

wanting

to once again

feel you.

- Kerry-Ann Clarke

------

Until we meet again

I'll continue to search and to dream,

To see this world with unshuttered eyes.

I'll continue to learn and live,

To stretch out my wings and take my flight.

My mind will expand as my knowledge swells;

I'll wait, be patient as my world spins

And as deep within my thoughts swirl and curl

I'll continue to die deaths as I remember -

My mind contract with sorrow-

Of days, months filled with enchantment and wonder

Where my whole world revolved around you,

Your smiling countenance shining light

Like a rainbow after the storm.

With my heart cradled within your palm

I confess that I am yours

That you are my light, my love, my all.

And I'll continue to love you, patiently waiting ...

Until we meet again.

- Tricia Wint

--------

Dreaming

I dreamt of you today.

Dreamt

That you had arrived;

That you had fed and slept

At my breast.

Oh,

Oh, how I long

To see you,

To smell you,

And kiss you,

To feel

Your wet lips on mine,

To feel your tiny arms

Around my neck

And your tiny fingers on mine!

Oh

Oh, how I long

To look into your eyes

And see you smile at me

Stretch out your arms to me

Wanting me,

Clinging to me,

Proclaiming me yours.

If I could

I would

Make you

Make you curl up inside me

Close to my heart

Connected by a cord

Two as one

But only

If I could.

- Amelia
