Heart Break

It causes an ache, which is all to familiar.

It begins in the eyes, which glaze over with tears.

What you see with those glossy spheres causes your head to spin.

The ache sends a shot of ice down your spine,

making your hair stand erect and your skin unnatually ridged with fleshy bumps.

As if your skin is expressing the same sadness that your teary eyes show.

That very same ache, reluctantly greets that lump in your throat.

It is as if the devil himself placed it there to watch you squirm
in your tense tight shell.

This ache brings on waves of pain and irritation.

Like an itch you can't scratch, like a splinter in your foot.

It is the acid you taste in your mouth, the pain...

To complete it comes the heart.

Yes, that treacherous muscle which exposes every emotion!

It bangs and thumps causing your chest to heave.

It tries to race with your thoughts, it outruns all your senses.

That aching tear in your heart.

Causes you to lose total control.

Your knees buckle, making you feel as weak as a colt.

You glance at your hands, wishing someone would grab them.

But all your hands do is wipe your salty tears.

The shattering of your body and of your sense

takes you to a whole other world of loneliness.

Heart Break.

The Night

as the moon rays hit the still waters

at that point life could not go further.

the beauty within each nocturnal sound

made her fantasies easily found.

for each howl to the immortal moon.

made the ripples slowly swoon.

and each flick of a fishes tail,

helped the mist slowly sail.

fireflies that light the night

made her mind erase her frights.

each breathe she took numbed her senses

and each dewy grassblade made her pensive.

so as the summer breeze embraced her skin

something slowly seeped from within.

the stars will forever be Graceful,

as long as each thought was of her being thankful.
