His whispers faded, dreams untold,
A heart weighed down by fear’s cold hold.
He yearned for love, a silent plea,
But shyness held his captive, he

Couldn’t speak the words his soul confessed,
Her smile, a sunshine on his breast.
Days turned to years, a silent ache,
Fear’s chains, a vow he couldn’t break.

A flicker then, a spark ignited,
A warrior’s spirit, long inhibited.
He would seize this chance, break free at last,
Cast doubt aside, a future unsurpassed.

Fate’s twist, a glance, their eyes entwined,
His courage soared, his fears resigned.
With trembling voice, a love confessed,
“My silent love, forever blessed.”.

The reality of our shared past,
Lies a rift too vast to be surpassed.
His words, like arrows, pierce my heart,
Shattering the art we once called ours.

I search within for the truth he claims,
But find only echoes of his blames.
His gaze, distorted and cruel,
Reflects a me so painfully uncool.

I long for connection, understanding, and grace,
But in his eyes, I see only judgment’s embrace.
My tears fall, but cannot wash away,
The pain of feeling unseen in this disarray.

Couples counseling, our beacon of hope,
Yet our differences seem beyond its scope.
We stand on opposite shores, yearning for change,
But the distance between us feels so strange.

His desire to reshape me, mold and control,
Leaves me feeling lost, without a soul.
I crave the depth of shared emotions untamed,
But he seeks to erase, to silence, to maim.

Sorrowfully, we play our parts,
Yearning for connection, breaking our hearts.
I mourn the loss of what we used to be,
As we drift further apart, lost at sea.

I seek a distant realm
Where silence reigns, pure and profound,
Serenity’s true form, unbroken, unbound.

I yearn for a far-off place
Where heartache finds no home,
A haven of boundless love and joy, where dreams freely roam.

Just me, my spirit soaring high,
Embracing solitude without a backward glance,
In this land, I will dance with peace, in a timeless trance.

I envision this journey as a quest,
Not merely to escape, but to find,
The quiet strength and inner peace, dwelling in the mind.
.
Hopefully, I will rediscover
The boundless beauty within,
A treasure trove of light and hope, where my new life begins.

I will journey far, with courage in my heart,
Welcoming the unknown, ready for a fresh start,
In a distant realm where I will find my true part.

My story is very private 
I really don’t go out on a date 
I feel it may lure me to fornicate 
The sound of that my admirers hate. 

I opened the door and it was Mrs. Kate 
She came to deliver the egg crate 
She is so inquisitive about my fate 
Always wondered why my response I abbreviate 

I told her nothing was on my plate 
As I made attempt to shut my gate 
I know how she tours our estate 
And how much through her gossips accelerate 

My story you cannot rate 
Not that you are not my age mate 
I just don’t like the debate 
I see talking about it as a dangerous bait 

Forgive me, but on that date 
When betrayal nearly destroyed my fate 
I made my past and present story very private 
Your understanding on this, I will appreciate

You suddenly found yourself in the ditch
Where scorpions and deadly snakes coexist
I watched them savor your bruised skin
Oh! What a delight it was for them

Your bleeding and mangled hands reached to the heavens
Your swollen face and bloodshot eyes could no longer cry
Your mouth, dripping blood, could only whisper,
“Help me!”

I watched as pints of blood dripped from your wounds
Seeping out like sewage from a public toilet
Wounded souls you had drenched in a stained, darkened face
Souls disillusioned by your betrayal cry for vengeance

Suddenly I saw the merciless vulture
Claws sharp and stained, ready to kill
As it approached, you knelt in submission
Ready to be devoured

I knew long ago that you deserved to be consumed
He trusted you with everything
Your masks, radiant and painted
In silent wait, you struck and left him eternally wounded

The heart of the soul you wounded
The soul who trusted you with his words
The soul you betrayed without a second thought
Has you trapped now, where will you run to?

I pray for leniency on your behalf
For now it is too late to apologize to that man
I truly want to slowly sip my glass of Chapman
While I watch the vulture called Karma tear you to pieces

My words may seem like a twaddle,
But I’m not here to seduce like a treddle.
This feeling’s so heavy, I move like a trindle.
Please don’t see my actions as tweddle,
I say as I nervously twiddle.

I fidget and ask, “Can you fiddle with my fingers?”
I dream of a love we can rekindle.
Let’s not allow doubts to meddle,
Or confusion to muddle.
Come, my love, let’s cuddle.

You are my riddle,
Right in the middle,
Of this puddle.
Come and paddle,
With this babe so idle.
I’ve lit the candle,
Help me cross this love hurdle.

I am ready.
Bridle me tightly.
You handle me so beautifully.

The wind whistles past my ears.
Closing my eyes, I let go of all my fears.
The waves crash against the rocks.
Here, time seems to stop.

The serenity I feel here soothes my mind.
A peaceful day, so hard to find.
The breeze calms my soul.
Helps me reflect on my life’s goal.

I gaze out over the ocean,
And my life feels free from commotion.
The sun sets behind the clouds,
But its orange glow lifts my spirits.

As night approaches,
I know this is where I need to be.
The tranquility of this afternoon
Feels like such a beautiful thing.

I sit and wonder where life will go,
But for now, I wish time would slow.
To savor this moment and feel free,
To clear my mind and find some glee.

Days like this are what I truly treasure.
Astounding nights and splendid weather.
It may not seem like much,
But moments like this, I want to clutch.

For once, life feels like bliss.
So many hard days when bliss was missed.
I could get lost listening to the waves,
Hearing the birds and watching the clouds behave.

I could close my eyes and fade into the night.
The tranquility helps me win the fight.
As the waves crash against the rocks,
I feel the bliss in my heart unlock.

It’s time to embrace my journey,
Let go of every worry.
For this serenity I feel
Clears my mind without a bill.

The demons rage,
Screaming violently,
Eternal solitude outside,
Endless chaos within.

Their whispers,
Deafening like a thousand cymbals,
Yet I gaze at you calmly.
You remain unaware.

I struggle,
Unable to cast them aside,
Unable to resist.
My strength has failed time and again.

Do you think I don’t try?
Oh, you think I lack discipline?
Wait until your own demons rise,
Then you’ll know true helplessness.

I want to surrender,
To let them take control.
What’s the point of trying?
They always win.

So, once more,
I reach for the Vaseline,
As I rush to the bathroom,
And obey their command – ‘Masturbate’.
