I miss you

I miss you

I miss you.

The reason, I cannot state.

You were never mine.

I was never yours.

You went away,

No story to be told.

Kept our distance,

Now the distance is 

One thousand fold.

No love's embrace to recall.

No first kiss to warm my thoughts.

Goodbye hug in a haze is all that remains,

And improbable dreams caught and locked

In their own ethereal realm.

Forlorn

Forlorn

Man of my dreams

Where have you gone?

Are you far off in those woods

Where I met your spirit before dawn,

While in the city my body still slumbered

But my soul through the trees gallantly wandered?

Wolf-spirit guides of my dreams,

When will you lead me back to him,

Back to his tender arms where I belong?

When will you trust that this love is not a whim?

Why, why has our material meeting been encumbered?

This my forlorn heart has implacably pondered.

Hope

Hope

Like a flame in the dark,
Hope flickered in my heart,
With every look and every smile you gave
Making me uncertain on just how to behave.
So certain that your heart belonged to her,
Felt almost apologetic that my presence she had to endure,
Feeling like an usurper in her domain.
As always, my feelings for you I have to restrain.
But your deep long glances, did I just imagine this part?
Or did I see the same flicker of hope in your eyes that I feel in my heart?

Disdain

Disdain

Patience is a virtue, they say.
My virtue must have run out.
Dearest Soulmate, wherever you are,
Whoever you are, you must be a lout.

I have looked for you high and low,
Far and nigh, in so many faces.
Thought I found you once or twice,
But only found myself in loveless embraces.

Soulmate, I need you to know
That my faith in you has waned.
If our paths ever do cross someday
Don't be surprised to find yourself disdained.
