An Unpredicted Death

My mind was desolated when I heard the news,
I thought my grandma Mary I would never lose,
We hoped the crowd of police were for a rabble,
And the crying neighbours were a result of a violent grapple.

As we parked our car in an empty space,
My mother charged emotionally out and began to pace,
I sensed the horrible truth awaiting at the door,
Then she found my grandma lying on the floor.

I sink uncomfortably in my seat,
As my mother collapses outside and weeps,
My father sprints to cradle her head,
While my grandma rests in her celestial bed.

A Step Never Took...

Your delicate breath travels down my angelic face like a feather weightlessly stroking the air,
My subtle lips slowly gliding on your stubbled neck pecking you gently as you flick my voluptuous hair with your fingers,
Gradually opening my eyes, you dissipate into cold, clear, crystals into the atmosphere leaving me to hopelessly stare,
My hands both clasp the clouds above me as they begin to breathe morbidly upon my weak heart that still lingers.

Whenever I take a breath, I think of my air being caught by your pure tender lips,
If ever I see your bashful face again, let me give warmth to your heart with my joyous gaze,
For what I see is a hidden man drafting a life with me- holding me blissfully and soothing my tears,
But then the dusky bitter realisation of the truth embeds itself like a destructive monstrous blaze.

My profound love for you grows stronger and stronger, yet my frail body grows weaker and weaker,
You’re like the water I long for in a scorching desert, releasing your chill politely upon my face,
When I feel you near me, my body begins to shake fearfully, hoping you are oblivious to my feelings,
Yet, although my social happiness disguises my utmost desires, it fills your heart with empty space.

For now I must heal my dwindled soul that foolishly averts your feeble shell,
But once my soul has replenished itself, I shall conquer my brash fear of loving you.

Sonnet of Invaluable Love

As I approach your elusive soft eyes,
I struggle to look deep within your heart,
Yet you detach yourself to live in lies,
Now illusive as you shred us apart,
As you walk away I gaze behind you,
Holding back the tears that I hold within,
Dreaming a moment I cannot undo,
To crave you I hope is but not a sin,
Our destiny has before been written,
But we choose to disregard our fortune,
I see its anguish leaving you beaten,
Though I know that your love will not shorten,

Your love for me is irrefutable,
My love for you is irreplaceable.

Unfulfilled Desire

You are the only one that can make me smile with eternal joy,
Where you radiate a desirable glow, glistening upon my lethargic body,
But now my love, hanging in the balance of this surreal scenario –shattering,
My silly grin, morphed into an adverse frown, resting heavily upon my brow.

As days, weeks and months pass, your gleaming smile fades under the darkened night sky,
Lying awake in bed at night, dreaming of an escape from reality into an endless fantasy,
Begging for harmony to caress us both with its hollow yet potent arms, to shield us from destruction,
One day, our star-crossed love shall soar passionately through the night unleashing our stardust love to be relished.
