Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
How shall I bear not seeing your face!?!.!.
Not to hear your voice!.!.
Or feel your touch for eternity!? !.!.

I now know how the Moon will feel
When the Sun’s light no longer shines upon her face…!.!.
Cold, bereft and barren…
As she spins along forever on her dark and lonely path…

I am a flame extinguished
And my tears are legionWww@QuestionHome@Com

Your heart and soul have been with me,
Your very life my own!.
You've been my helper through this land,
And now from me you've flown!.
I feel as though a part of me,
Has left to not return!.
The love I have for you inside,
Will never cease to burn!.

That's 8 lines of ballad stanza, or if you prefer, you can combine each pair to make it 4 lines of iambic heptameter!.
Either way, I hope it serves you well!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

"All hands on deck, we've run afloat!" I heard the captain cry
"Explore the ship, replace the cook, let no one leave alive!"
Across the straits, around the Horn - how far can sailors fly!?
A twisted path, our tortured course, and no one left alive
We sailed for parts unknown to man,
where ships come home to die!.
No lofty peak, nor fortress bold, could match our captain's eye
Upon the seventh seasick day we made our port of call
A sand so white, and sea so blue, no mortal place at all
We fired the gun, and burnt the mast, and rowed from ship to shore
The captain cried, we sailors wept - our tears were tears of joy
Now many moons and many Junes have passed since we made land
A salty dog, this seaman's log: you witness my own hand

I am drained of light,
A shadow lying on a bed of sorrows!.
Dreams have fled from me,
Leaving a bitter taste on tomorrow,
While overcooking today!.

My heart has been roped off,
By the yellow tape of your rejection!.
I have become an afterthought,
Blocking the way to your happiness!.

Before you leave,
Take a moment to draw a chalk line,
Around the heart you have murdered!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Little girl of yours no more
I choose to walk away
Or am I being pulled perhaps,
By moral fibers of my being!?
No more controlling, insulting, abusing
to be your puppet I shall no longer!.
I choose to walk away today
and rejoice in your great loss!.


*Hmmmm!.!.!.!.Upon rereading, that sounds kind of bitter!. Oh well, truth is what it is!.

Instant insanity
Silence of the limbs
Phantom feelings sail on
Two byte two bitten to much
* in the corner, sniffling, itching, clawing at open sores, a shadow
glued to the floor, scrapes his brain for the next hit from the last time*

Treasured kisses, soft, gentle, passionate,
Yearning, longing, sensual, revealing,
Snuggles so tight, your smile genuine,
Sparkles of delight danced in your hazel eyes,
These dreams, toss me about, stirring, haunting,

October Leaves


Crimson was the day he left
My heart was bleeding so;
The next day brought me Coral tones
I didn’t feel quite so alone!.

The following day spilled Sienna
Across my strengthening floor;
Acceptance and tints of Goldenrod
Muted my heartache more!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

For me there is no in between
I can't cry for what might have been
for you gave me the most of you
even parts you never intended to
half hearted commitments you can keep
I'll leave you now before I weep

Through a web of pronouns, perspectives unwind
From a concourse of discords, cranium confined!.
All voices claim behoof at heart!.!.
Whose heart!? Which voice is my part!?

I know I loved you once
but I cannot recall your face
without the snapshot of
me on your knee, giggling
Do you know you loved me once!?

The pain,
The agony,
Tortured soul am I!.
Give me back that lifeline,
So I may live again!. ?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am desolate!.
In a void
I lay with abandonment
held by nothing
but sorrow!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
